But the good news about Prograis vs. Taylor betting is that the matchup is so even on paper headed into things that there’s value on either side of the equation.

Prograis can work effectively from just about any range. The knock against him in most fights is that he doesn’t have particularly long arms and isn’t really all that tall for the division either. But none of those things have really mattered all that much because his footwork is clean and he’s adept at working his way in and out of different ranges.

Prograis is also a good puncher who hits hard and clean. That alone makes him the slight favorite and will probably give him the edge in the bout. While Taylor has the physical advantages in terms of height and reach, his best work is done at longer ranges and Prograis is likely to force the fight to the inside.

Taylor’s style suits him and is what made him such a decorated amateur. But the professional game is more about the things Prograis does well and less about scoring from one range. Back Prograis all the way. The fight will likely go back and forth during the first six rounds, but the second half of it will be all Prograis.
