    Shane McGuigan said that Taylor usually rehydrates about 12-13lbs

    Here's one of his fight night weights from a couple of years ago. He actually weighed in 2lbs over the 140 limit for this one but only rehydrated 7lbs. Crawford was coming in as high as 153 when he campaigned down at 135, so if Taylor is apparently huge for 140 what does that make Crawford for both 135 and 140? lol

    For perspective on Taylor's win:

    Andre Ward beat Froch in his 25th fight to win the super six.. had been pro for 7 years..

    Taylor won his tournament in 16 fights & 4 years..

    Without constant hugging & ACTUAL inside fighting skill!

    Anyway, fair play to both Taylor & Regis & there respective teams, great fight & event.. & I must say I'm enjoying all the butt hurt & soreness immensely..

    Taylor beat a bunch of nobodies and then was gifted a victory against a hobbit.

    The hobbit gave him a damn beating and made him look a right mess,

    Compubox had the hobbit out landing him in all stats, 70+ punch advantage over 12 rounds!!!!!

    Without hugging? Wtf are you talking about lol, Taylor hugged and leaned on Regis plenty. And also hit him after the bell at least 3 times. But I like him doeee.

    I like sportsmanship but I also like me some just bitter rivals who hate each other and just want to fight

    Great to see, brilliant stuff. The only issue I have is Prog was a bit too nice in the build-up, needed to have a little bit more spite. Which Taylor had for sure.

    Credit to both, but especially Regis Prograis, as it is evident that it is much more difficult to be a good guy in defeat as opposed to victory.
