Taylor v Prograis on the 26th

I thought the final two were clear Prograis rounds.

 

The 12th was the 11th was a close one.

 

Fix my arse, take the rightful loss on the chin.

 

I had Taylor comfortably winning on points

 

They were, especially the 12th where Taylor was holding on for dear life and throwing arm punches. I had it 114-114 but 115-113 either way was fine. 117-112 was absolutely ridiculous.

Even Shane McGuigan said he had Taylor up by 1 going into the last round which says he had it a draw as there was no way Taylor won the last round.

Not taking anything away from Taylor though, he was fantasic on the inside. He did a lot of damage in close.

 

A tremendous fight that I had Taylor edging by at least two rounds. Starting and finishing with a bit of urgency isn't enough for Prograis to claim a victory, Taylor controlled the majority of the fight like he did the centre of the ring as he boxed on the front foot.

 

One thing that struck me last night was how tough these two were, they were battering each other but barely showing any signs of being in pain. It was a great advert for boxing and it was criminal how it seemed to be Chisora v Price was generating more interest on social media, this was the best 2 in the division, in their prime, going head to head in a unification fight.

 

It is amazing what a verbal outburst and throwing the odd table can do to one's marketability within boxthing.

Chisora is a pudding in the ring and a wife beater outside the ring.

 

He has never changed and people's memories are short. Szpilka and Price.

 

Fair play to @lencoreastside for not going into hiding and stating his case which is credible although most of us don't agree with him.

Was in the same boat myself having Wilder winning by a point against Fury while 90% of the forum were of the opinion Fury won.

Len is at least consistent and will be on here cheering Taylor next week.

 

Haven't seen the cards but i thought Taylor clearly won the first, which i think the commentators gave to Prograis. Opinions though, and it was a great, close fight where a draw would not have been a surprise to either camp I guess.
