    Last round aside I think Taylor clearly won 5 rounds.

    Very good fight! Tough showing from both men. Postol took shots that would have flat lined most guys.

    114-113 Taylor, who managed to drive Postol back and land enough to win a hard fought 12th.

    Lovely fight.

    Prograis mutilates both. TC likely would have done so to Taylor, too, I think.

    LMFAO this is the Cafe I know. LOL @ comparing this fight. Crawford completley dominated a Postol who was coming off a career defining win. Taylor is fighting a Postol that got dominated by Crawford and hurt badly in his previous fight which was controversial. He's also 34 now.

    Round 1: 10-9 Postol
    Round 2: 10-9 Taylor
    Round 3: 10-9 Postol
    Round 4: 10-9 Postol
    Round 5: 10-9 Taylor
    Round 6: 10-9 Taylor
    Round 7: 10-9 Postol
    Round 8: 10-9 Postol
    Round 9: 10-9 Taylor
    Round 10: 10-8 Taylor
    Round 11: 10-9 Taylor
    Round 12: 10-9 Taylor

    Taylor hurts Postol early in the round, he clinches. Taylor lands a big headbutt that hurts Postol again. Lots of holding from Postol. Both guys giving it their all until the end.

    115-112 Josh Taylor

    Can you not just appreciate the fight? One of the best fights this year

    Taylor is an immense talent for 12 fights, no ones even mentioned Crawford in this thread besides you, and myself when I responded to you

    Taylor will learn a lot from this, still a very good work in progress but that's an awkward opponent too.. Postol is a difficult opponent. Ridiculous cards though..
