Prograis has done more press in London than any fighter ever, I can't believe how much media he's done, he's literally been like a tourist. And come across as a great guy to boot.
I think Nelson was trying to make something out of it, Taylor kinda played along and Prograis shut it down for what it was. Taylor was trying to stare and intimidate, but as Prograis showed with Chisora, he will not be imtimidated by anyone. I agree the is 100% respect between them. Prograis has been fantastic in promotion. Both guys are a credit to the sport and the fac they have this platform is perfect.
