I know i am a bit late to the party with this thread.

I watched the Taylor Prograis fight a few times and i don't see what the fuss is all about. The things that made it not enjoyable for me were:

1. The shoulder charging from Taylor. I found that very difficult to watch.
2. No ebb and flow. It was just the same thing for 12 rounds.
3. As above, it was just the same few punches thrown again and again for 12 rounds.
4. By round 3 it was obvious neither guy would knock the other out.
5. By round 5 it was obvious neither guy would knock the other out and there would be no change of tempo.
6. The fighting was in so close that there seemed to be no spectacular punches thrown with leverage.
7. I will say it again. The constant shoulder charging and shoulder pushing by Taylor.

I am prepared to get shredded for saying this!! Appreciate all thoughts.

compared to some of the other fights we had the last 8 weeks, it really wasn't that special to me either. But to each their own I guess.

I thought it was a good fight, not great or particularly memorable.

I do think Josh Taylor's performance in particular has been way over hyped.

Overall two decent fighters and a competitive fight.

Neither guy seperated himself. Shoulda been a draw.
That was one where a 15 rounder may have decided it.
