    The SNP also won the independence referendum in 2014 with only 45% of the vote.

    Good start in the fight from Taylor, gave all he had on the night but he faded badly from round 3.

    Taylor was tremendous back 4/5 years ago but he's flatlined.
    He made the most of his best years, he's got a great legacy. He was fantastic to watch at his best, he showed a bit of that against Essuman but he cant do it any more.

    Tbf, I think Taylor fighting at range behind two phases and step backs would of been the best option.
    Yes I agree that Taylors strengths (used to be)
    box fighter but that guy isn't there for 12 rounds anymore. Mixing it up with EE a natural 147er known for his physicality and engine on the front foot took far more out of Joshs stanima and was the reason for the drop in Joshs workrate, durability and sharpness.
    Boxing at range behind two phases and step backs and mixing in front foot now and then, whilst conserving energy and stanima. That was the best strategy for JT sat eve imo.
    That's what I'd of done anyway

    Taylor 34 and 23 pro fights should be coming into his prime. British fighters make enough and shut up shop, he doesn't have the desire to do it anymore. If he was Mexican he would be an all time great.
