    We said before the fight that they were both bang on for taking a fight like this so early on in their careers. Josh showed he's going to be a very special fighter but lets not write Ohara off just yet. He will learn tons from that fight not only about his approach and skills but also about himself.

    Not so sure it's a glass jaw situation to be honest. It was a quit job at the end though

    Getting knocked down by a jab usually means one thing

    I don't think you can say a fighter has a glass jaw just because they were floored by a jab.

    Nigel Benn was KO by a jab, not sure he could be classed as having a glass jaw and he was in some absolute wars.

    nah, he survived a beating just before that which mangled his brain. that's why he dropped from the jab because his legs were already gone. he has at least an average chin (maybe above average/decent based on how josh taylor does here on out).

    after all that badman talk you have to go out on your shield though. it's like if eubanks jnr quit in a match after all that crap they talked about brook.

    Have to say I'm yet to see the fight, But from the highlights I saw it seemed like he lacked heart rather than a chin

    The first jab knockdown he took, as he probably should from a jab, But went down when Taylor went to follow up on it rather than putting his guard up or moving round

    The final knockdown to me looked like he wanted to drop regardless if he got hit. Then he got up shaking his head, immediate signs he quit mentally

    I'll watch out for this when I watch the full fight but they were my initial thoughts!

    Weight making can have an effect on your body's resistance to a punch, I don't think O.D is chinny he was probably exhausted and knew eventually he was going to get stopped

    I thought the chin was alright, he definitely turned away at the end though to look for his bottle.
