    Round 1. Davies10-9 close
    Round 2. Taylor 10-9 close
    Round 3. Taylor 10-8
    Round 4. Davies 10-9
    Round 5. Taylor 10-9 close

    Davies wins most of the round but then gets hurt by a Taylor shot and then proceeds to take punishment.

    I feel that Taylor can hurt Davies almost at will, but Ohara just doesn't stop punching. Taylor looks different level when he steps it up

    Round 1. Taylor 10-9 close
    Round 2. Taylor 10-9 very close
    Round 3. Taylor 10-8
    Round 4. Taylor 10-9 close
    Round 5. 10-10

    Some worry in the Taylor corner between rounds over the risks / bravery / foolhardiness of Taylor. Davies hits Taylor low and follows up. Taylor goes back behind the jab. Davies just keeps throwing, most are blocked but are they taking a toll? Big right from Taylor! Big left! Davies fights back, great round!

    Taylor seems like he hurts Davies with alomst every shot he lands even his jab buckles Davies knees.

    I thought Davies was doing well in round 5, then he got rocked again. It's one of those fights. Round 6 is all Taylor except for a good shot near the end.

    A fairly one-sided war

    Davies has soaked up a lot of shots throughout these rounds... I think we're going to see him get stopped. Taylor looks great in there tonight.
