Prograis was requested for his ideas on a attainable Garcia-Benn matchup.
“I believe it’s an incredible combat and I choose Conor Benn. I believe Ryan Garcia is a greater boxer, but when they get to a combat, which could occur, I’ll choose Conor Benn,” mentioned Prograis to Fighthype.”
Prograis pointed to Benn’s model as a significant component in his prediction.
“He’s a uncooked fighter. He desires to get at you.”
Ryan’s future has been the topic of hypothesis since his loss to Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, whereas Benn has continued to push for main fights after rebuilding his place with wins over Prograis and different notable opponents.
Prograis additionally steered that Conor may very well be simpler at a better weight if the combat takes place.
“At 154. I believe at 154,” mentioned Prograis.
The retired former champion added that Ryan’s offense can generally be simpler to anticipate than that of many opponents.
“I noticed every part coming. That’s the one factor. You’ll be able to see it coming.”
A combat between Ryan and Conor has been mentioned repeatedly over the previous 12 months, although no settlement has been introduced. If negotiations ultimately result in a deal, Prograis believes Benn’s aggression and willingness to drive the motion may very well be sufficient to beat Garcia’s technical benefits.
