    How easily can Taylor still make the weight? Wasn't he struggling last time out?

    Taylor should beat him easy. Teo didnt carry any real power to 140, he was super reliant on that as his ring IQ is dog ****.

    Taylor will beat all the Americans. Even when Haney moves up he will beat him. Taylor has better competition at 147 in Terrence Crawford

    Teo hasn't looked good lately but taylor looked off against catterall so it depends on who shows up. The smart money is on taylor by UD. Taylor is A LOT better than sandor martin.

    That's it, who shows up and takes advantage of the other fighters flaws.

    I expect Taylor to beat Teo convincingly. It all depends on Teo's mental state, not ruling out his chances though. It'll be crazy if Teo manages to beat Taylor like he did Loma.

    Martin fight doesn't bode well for Taylor, and I don't think there is a single fight that indicates he has some magical peak form he will achieve with proper preparation.

    Close fight goes to decision. Losing fighters fans cry foul and want to revamp the present scoring protocol for a more modernize system. Usually a system that plays into the losing fighters strengths. LOL

    Taylor should win as Teo has looked awful his last couple of fights. But Taylor hasn’t fought in a while and was struggling to make weight against Catterall. I wouldn’t rule out a freak ko from Teo.
