Josh Taylor vs. Regis Prograis & Dereck Chisora vs. David Price + Yves Ngabu vs. Lawrence Okolie RBR

Great bout.

But 117 - 111!? What the ****?

 

Prograis has really made me a fan with his indomitable spirit and class in defeat. Great fighter, and I'd love to see him back in the ring in the UK.

Taylor is a phenomenal fighter as well, and this win only cements it. Unfortunately he's come off as a d***head in the lead up, which makes it a bit hard to unreservedly root for him.

 

I think he’s won everyone over,coming over to the U.K. three weeks in advance and putting it all out there I really hope he get some nothing but respect for this.
Another 50/50 fight that delivers with neither opponent “destroying” the other as fanboys so like to predict.
I doubt there’s will be a rematch though and personally if Taylor is to move up I’d like to see him fight three or four times a year in some showcase fights to learn more.
I was dead against his fight with Postal on account of him being so green,could easily fast track the kid to a loss if they’re not careful imo.

 

Darren Barker is an awful commentator. A typical sky cheerleader.

 

Yes as they nearly always know how they’ve done in there imo.

 

I disliked him for years for taking that fight in Germany knowing he was injured. A lot of his fans flew out for that none the wiser. His recent antics as a Matchroom cheerleader have solidified that mild dislike into rampant hatred.

 

He has the size to compete. I think he could beat Thurman. I don't see him out muscling Spence, or outboxing Crawford. He'd probably get mutilated by Ennis.

 

7 - 5 or 6 - 6 is an acceptable score in my view.

 

Billy Conolly was one of the judges.

 

He’s really grown on me has Porter.seems to take his losses too well imo as you never see him get a break with the judges in close fights.

 

7-5 either way?

 

I think that Taylor won the fight but that 117/ 112 score was proof that Prograis would not win a decision.

 

I wouldn't really argue, though I'd pick Taylor.

 

Had this 114-114 live, was surrounded by Scots who cheered even air punches, which could sway that 117-112 judge. Super close fight at a super high standard. Loved it.

 

Yes surreal being the operative word.Ive gonna back n forth over this and CST80 convinced me Canelo was in a whole lot of trouble.
Call me a tinfoil hat wearer though as my head can’t get round the fact that Canelo being the face of boxing and worth hundreds of millions: I just can’t see Canelo losing this one in any shape or form.Kovalev may as well just lie down and take his loss lol.
