    If it's in Glasgow 100% Taylor because it's going to be a close fight imo, and Scotland has outrageous cards. If it's a neutral territory I have Taylor edging it slightly, but I might change my decision before the fight.

    Prograis will be slight favourite looked more impressive in his semi-finals win. That being said Taylor’s win is more impressive on paper, Baranchyk would probably walkthrough Relikh.

    Relikh isn't good. Dude lost to Burns, his wins over Barthlemey were good but that more of just a style match up.

    Prograis looks like the favorite to me. Far less hittable than Josh, and Baranchyk and Postol have both shown that Taylor can be hurt.

    Hopefully tonight will stop making people ask ridiculous questions such as "Can Taylor beat Crawford?"

    Crawford would slaughter Josh.

    That’s kinda what I was saying, Baranchyk would probably beat him convincingly.

    I’m not saying he’s bad by no means, and if you seriously think he lost that fight to Burns I’d suggest you get your head checked.

    I didn't watch the fight, but I didn't hear anyone really calling it controversial. Pretty sure the consensus on here was that Burns edged it in a close one. Was it a Beltran type robbery?

    Taylor is good but I think Prograis is better.

    Very much so, as blatant a home town robbery as you can get.

    Ah okay, well then I guess I rate Prograis' win over Relikh higher. I was under the assumption Burns edged Relikh in a tough bout.

    At this point i'd have to favour Progais but i'm sure not bettingon it because Taylor's very good.

    Relikh can't take it downstairs and he was good style match up for Rougarou

    Don't judge JT off tonight's performance Ivan B's a dangerous customer and he's not a good style match up for him and I said that before the fight. JT won 8-4 and obviously the 2 KDs on top of that too but he's better than he showed tonight.

    Taylor is better than he looked tonight and can fight better so I think he will beat Prograis in a high quality fight.

    Rougarou

    Indongo
    Flanagan
    Relikh
    Joel Diaz Jr.
    Velasco

    Josh Taylor

    Postol
    Ivan B
    Miguel Vasquez
    Ryan Martin
    Ohara Davies

    Could be

    Postol>>Indongo
    Ivan B>>Relikh
    Vasquez>>Flanagan
    Martin>>Joel Diaz Jr.
    Davies>>Velasco

    or

    Postol>>Indongo
    Ivan B<<Relikh
    Vasquez<<Flanagan
    Martin>>Joel Diaz Jr.
    Davies>>Velasco

    But either way I think JT's opposition is a bit better
