Josh Taylor vs. Ekow Essuman & Nathaniel Collins vs. Lee McGregor - Round by Round.

116-112 Essuman

 

Hope thay don't rob Essuman.

 

We're ready for this SD robbery.

 

7-5 Essuman.

 

I think Essuman won but it was so close that perhaps the judges might give it to the hometown A side fighter.

 

Taylor tried but never really troubled Essuman

Essuman for me

111-117 Essuman

 

After the 1st Catterall decision, I can't see Taylor getting a decision in this, plus Taylor came on strong later then, it's the opposite here. Taylor hardly had much success in the championship rounds at all.

He needs to retire, he will get obliterated by Ennis and the other top welters in this form

 

Wasn't scoring it but my impression is Essuman won, and the stalwart scorers here seem to agree. In retrospect Essuman as an introduction to welterweight was a terrible choice; he is not the most skilled but he is truly world class in terms of his conditioning, he truly gave Taylor a baptism of fire at welterweight.

Ekow Essuman. Well deserved. Glad they didn’t rob him. Good fight overall.

 

Taylor got spring chicken-d by the older man.


Let's see the scores

 

Got to give it to Essuman hes got a engine on him and Taylor couldnt match it

 

Good scorecards from the judges! Good to see, didn't want another robbery in Scotland!
