Prouder or more proud

Which is correct? Is the sentence also correct?
You won't see a big brother more proud prouder of a younger brother than he is of the way his younger brother is playing.

Thanks

While proud technically allows for the -er form of the comparative (and -est for the superlative), I think that many (myself included) prefer the more/most option. I don't know why.

You would only say more proud if you haven't paid attention in your English grammar sessions.
