    There were several rounds at the end where Taylor was so fired up and at times out of sheer malice continued to throw full combinations after the bell.

    There was one round in particular where it seemed as if he was fighting a full round straight after the bell and I was expecting the ref to pull him up on it but surprisingly it did not happen.

    Surely if the ref did his job, the judges scorecards would show a total different story to the outcome.

    I don't think Regis would have been docked a point if he did the same though, but there's no way that ref is docking Taylor a point in the UK.

    If he kept on hitting after the bell after each round, you can bet your behind that he would have got a warning at the very least, then eventually docked points.

    This wasn't just a 1-2 either, this was a full 4-5 f punch street fighter combinations Taylor was throwing many seconds after the bell.

    I was shocked the ref had nothing to say and neither did the commentary team, but not surprised.

    It happened 3 times after the bell if I remember correctly. It was odd. I wonder if the usual suspects who always criticize certain fighters for being "dirty", will group Taylor with them. Probably not, he's super brave and courageous!

    Yes it definitely was around 3 times, the first time it happened you could give him the benefit of the doubt because Regis was also guilty of getting carried away but they both immediately stopped shortly after the ref stepped in

    The second and third time was a complete free for all as if the full round was going to continue on after the bell.

    Josh Taylor did very well to turn it around in the middle stage of the fight but had there been a competent ref who disciplined him he would rightly have deserved to lose the fight on points for the multitude of illegal blows after the bell which actually landed and caused damage to Regris

    Prograis can take heart that he deserved at the very least a draw, were it not for the corruption taking place.

    And the referee never once did warn Josh Taylor about the excessive holding, smothering and use of his forearms to spoil Prograis' work.

    yeah I was pretty annoyed while watching the fight, he even did in round 12. I was kind of hoping Regis would have cracked him in retaliation and made an example out of it but whatever the fight was over. What I'm more worried about is this good fight not getting a rematch I think they fought a good close fight and I'd like to see these two guys go at it again

    So if it's a big fight, that gives fighters free licence to break the rules and hit continuously after the bell?

    Prograis definitely deserves a rematch.

    Personally I’d like to see Taylor v Ramirez next then the Prograis fight whether Taylor wins or loses.

    Josh Taylor conducted himself prior to and during the fight like a hooligan thug.

    Show me a fight footage where a boxer has hit after the bell 3 times in the same fight and not been at least warned, taken a point from.

    I'll save you the time and trouble, by telling you now it doesn't exist because it has never happened before ever.
