It wasnt a fluke, Hope worked hard and believed but it would be different next time. But events did conspire against Proska somewhat.
The bad cut early clearly disorientated Proska. He had to fight 9 entire rounds with blood in and around the eye. If that cut didnt happen, Hope wouldnt have been anywhere near as effective. Proksa would win more rounds next time without a cut. If instead Hope had come off with the cut from the headclash, ive no doubt Proska would have knocked him out.
I find it hard to believe Proksa trained properly stamina wise for this fight. I cant see why he is so tired halfway through if he did. Next time obviously he very likely would train better. Proksa wins more rounds next time down the stretch. An awful lot of Hopes success was down to Proksa's weariness.
Not to mention the fact most fans believed Proska DID win enough rounds this time anyway. Definitely not a robbery at all but I do believe Hope was a little lucky to get the decision, especially taking into account the point deduction.

Proksa said he didn't see anything because of the cut and that his regular coach wasn't there. In some interviews prior to the fight there were some vague hints of him being ill followed by the typical "everything is all right now".
I definitely wouldn't risk putting my money on Hope in a rematch.
Was defo not a robbery. Best man on the night won.
Had never seen Hope before, but he looked very sharp, I would not have thought he was the challenger from watching it.
Hope was caught cold early, but soon warmed and pretty much dominated.
maybe the point hope was deducted was justified but 2 rounds later proksa hit him twice after the bell which i thought was worse than what hope did
did anyone else think proksa was looking for a way out in the 11th?
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
I had Hope winning it - Proska was awful!
