I don't like the way Taylor fought in rounds 10 through 12

These are the championship rounds. He almost gave the fight away through inactivity those 3 rounds and that's something champions don't do; you try to finish looking good. Ramirez certainly won round 12, and by running around Taylor almost FORCED the judges (handpicked by Arum) to give Ramirez the last three rounds.

I had the fight scored 7 rounds to 5 for Taylor and of course there were two knockdowns so I'm not saying Ramirez won or that the 114-112 cards were sensible, just that Taylor could have closed out the show against a weakened opponent but instead let him back into the fight. That would have really been a feather in his cap.

It's not the manner in which a top 5 boxer conducts himself. And if he performs that way against a bigger and better boxer in Crawford he's going to get Bolivianized.

 

If you watch the post fight interview, Taylor's left hand was pretty badly swollen, maybe even broken, I think that's why his output dropped in those last rounds. He also probably felt that as he had won at least 6 of the rounds with 2 knockdowns that all he had to do was not get knocked down or KO'd himself.

Considering the hand I felt he fought fairly smart in the last few rounds.

But at the time I was shouting at him to up his workrate!!! So totally get the point

 

Compubox says he landed 11 more punches, and the cards minus the knockdowns reflect that. They pretty much saved him.

 

I thought it was 8 and 9 where he needed more gas, Ramirez was still ready to go.

By 10 it looked like Ramirez was getting a little mental clarity and some steam back on his punches so I think playing it safe was a good call.

 

It was smart boxing.

If you score 2 knockdowns, your opponent virtually has to win all of the remaining rounds.

 

A bit overrated he will easily get beat by the top 147 fighter's.

 

Not in Vegas. Without the 2 knockdown it was a draw at best. Had either rnd gone for Ramirez it would have been a lost.

Never coast or take a rnd of while fighting in the opponent's fan backyard.

 

Yeah holds ALL 4 belts in only his 18th pro fight.....but is overrated....lol!!

 

He will get handed at 147 easily

 

140 is weak lol

 

Looks like the left hand may have had something to do with it.

 

No surprise by this comment lol You are the most racially biased poster on this forum

 

Says the guy who's been revelling in juicenelo beating Saunders , Yildrim & Smith at SMW .. Taylor's LWW run shits all over Canelos SMW escapades.. most ppl don't even think Smith beat Ryder & BJS is more famous these days for his out of ring behaviour his in ring endeavours have been so forgettable LOL..
