    116-112 is ridiculous

    Can’t argue with that and we all knew Taylor would fade in the second half of the fight. Really don’t think Taylor lives the life out the ring. Anyone local to him know whether that is the case?

    What now for Taylor?

    This is the sort of matchmaking id expect from Matchroom. You got a former World Champ, couldn't he find a Latvian with a pretty record.

    This is probably it for Taylor now.

    Did anyone notice the back of Taylor's shorts from the mid rounds onwards? Shades of Paul Butler Vs Rodriguez.

    Surely he’ll retire now.

    Nothing to be ashamed of. A career 99% of the boxing world can only dream of.

    Very good fight and the right man won with a clear 3-4 rounds for me.

    Josh Taylor fought his heart out again but it is no longer there.

    Frank must have the same feeling as when Rangers signed Joey Barton

    Ekow seems like a decent lad, fair play to him. Did really well tonight

    A great fight, decent scores and all done & dusted by 10.30. See, it can be done.

    I’m a fan of Josh Taylor, loved his run to undisputed and during that period he was unbelievable - I don’t think he’s got the true credit he deserves. Covid halted his momentum, the bad foot injury etc.

    Gutted to say it but the right man won tonight, in a great close fight. Taylor looked super sharp in the first half of the fight but Ekow came on so strong, super fit as we know and deserved the victory.

    Taylor still has the speed and the superb shot selection but he did start to lose his shape and the defence wasn’t tight enough, particularly to the right hand. He’s not the fighter he was.

    How bad is McNally? His corner instructions were a joke, he couldn’t see what was going on and don’t get me started on telling Taylor that Essuman needed the last 2 rounds.
