I wish Prograis would get more love than he does in general. Even in the boxing community you just don't hear him talked about all that much. I love his style and he seems like a decent hard working dude that keeps a low profile. Wishing him success in the tournament and hopefully some more mainstream exposure comes from it.

It was a 6th round stoppage when the corner of Relikh threw in the towel to signify the end of the fight. Prograis was clearly dominating the fight with heavy body shots that clearly hurt Relikh. The body attack started in the first round and it seemed that Relikh was not able to fully recover and his disposition was ruined until that fateful 6th round. The win was the ticket of Prograis in the finals of the World boxing super series to face the winner of the Taylor-Baranchyk bout.
