Looking forward to seeing Prograis in the World Boxing Super Series. He’s tough and resourceful, although he looks like a Frankenstein’s joining of two boxers. One is an agile defensive mover from the waist up. The other is lead-footed.
hahah good explanation . yea he’s going to be tough to beat.akthough gets hit a bit too often. when he’s on form he is devastating and unpredictable
