    Who's watching? Zolani Tete about to fight the Mexican.

    Tete makes it look so easy, his opponent is easily better than any of Butler's (post Tete), but Gonzalez has that same issue - he can't get close to Tete who is just dominating with his long reach and jab. He's very skilled at what he does. No wonder few want to fight him. These fans should enjoy this.

    Tete would destroy Haskins and McDonnell, I agree with Frank.

    Got a feeling that Langford will outwork Taylor, who is boxing nicely but leaving it a little too much to the 'home' fighter.

    Langford starting to warm to the task, he's got a good engine and misses a fair bit but keeps on throwing. His lack of power is apparent, he is a bit like a Josh Warrington.

    The middle rounds are dominated by Langford, but Taylor's conditioning is an issue, he looks like he's not as fit as Langford. He can't throw in 3-4's like Langford does, and an issue is he also like Langford isn't exactly a power puncher. I think this is settling down to be a Langford UD or late stoppage..

    Interesting, I have the first 3 for Taylor, and the 10th for Taylor, if he could get the next two rounds it may be a draw.
    But the judges probably have Langford way up, but it's good to see Taylor land the eye catching stuff to make it exciting in the late rounds.
