Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
Prograis(1/10)-Flanagan(6/1) is priced up as a mismatch but "Turbo" (if ever a nickname was ironic) has a better chance than that. He is being completely written off because he's a nobody (the least known Brit "world" champion in history) and Prograis is currently red-hot and by far the harder clumper, however, is he the better boxer? Flanagan's boring messy tricky southpaw style is not easy to get past, he uses distance well, has a solid headbutt and never been down (33 fights).
I see Prograis walking him down but if he doesn't put Flanagan away he'll be eating shots on the way in all night in a typical boxer-vs-banger type.
11/4 - fight to go distance.
16/1 - Flanagan PTS
33/1 - Draw.

Are you suggesting that Turbo is worth a few quid?
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
Yeah i've had some shrapnel on Flanagan but you have to understand my opinion is based solely on his betting odds, which I think are a little too big. If Flanagan goes the distance I win.
If you put a gun to my head I would pick Prograis all day everyday. I EXPECT him to win. If Prograis iron's him out in the 1st round I wouldn't be shocked.
A brownun (£10) on Flanagan @16/1 returns £170.

Truth be told it's a pretty substantial step up for Prograis and style and work rate might give him many problems. But those body shots should level Flanagan off. What sucks is this is right up the road locally but will miss it being on the road this weekend.

I'm a big fan of Prograis, really like how he keeps that head moving, even tho his hands are low, but this will be tougher than many think. Flanagan can fight and is tough. I'm think Prograis gets to him late.

So many tickets still available at UNO. Really looking forward to this one. Just hope Prograis is keeping a level head. Guy was doing skits yesterday about his hotel room being burglarized. Biggest stage he's ever been on no doubt about it.
Card going head to head with hbo card? Hope not

Worth staying up for. With Jacobs and Derevyanchenko.
Terry Has something to prove. Should be a good fight.
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
These guys are certainly heavyweights..... :S
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
New Orleans won't be known for it's heavyweights anytime soon by the looks of it. Fight got some nice hype from local channels. Great to see.

I like Baranchyk to stop Yigit too.
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
Dont know much abouy these felows today but gong by the pre fight interviews I think baranchyk is going to damage ygitt
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
Lively first rounder from both... landed punches might be similar but I think whiterussian did way more damage... if he keeps it up ygitt is not long for this world :S
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
Baranchyk was really putting a lot on his punches he might not be able to keep it up
Re: Regis Prograis-Terry Flanagan (WBSS 1/4-final) Saturday Night
Off ft baranchyk is really blasting him... even when ygitt is blocking he looks to be feeling the pinches bad....cut on ygitt. . Ygitt is fairly rough though he's staying in front of him
