Josh Taylor-vs-Ekow Essuman?

Taylor to look seriously old and retire after the loss.

 

I’m the biggest Taylor fan there is and think he’s an absolute legend of British boxing but I’m worried. Had lots of injuries, lots of inactivity and he seems to be part-time conspiracist, part-time p!ss head these days.

Also think McNally is an awful fit for him. Totally took away all his strengths. Taylor’s strength was always his inside game and his weakness was his lack of head movement. So for some reason McNally had him fighting at range against counter punchers in Lopez and Catterall who could pick him off far easier on the way in. Madness.

 

Moving to London ruined him. I believe he'd have retired either undefeated or with one loss but instead he went down there, slacked, lost a bit of his spiteful edge and what resulted is what we've seen. Shame.

 

If Taylor wins but looks bad you just know Eddie will jump on making him VS Benn for Egg's redemption arc.

 

My money is on Essuman to win against this old version of Taylor. He may even get the job done by late stoppage

 

Josh Taylor is near the bottom of the decline curve and it was time to retire when he got beat in Glasgow by a mediocre and boring Catterall.

I do get annoyed watching some of the greats fighting on for too long and ending losing to people that would be easily disposed of in their primes.

Sounds exactly like me, for that reason I've voted Taylor

 

In all likelihood, Taylor could turn up half-cut and still win this. He’d have to have fallen a long way to lose here.

Either way, all Matchroom roads lead to Taylor vs. Catterall III — so come on, Ekow.

 

Team Catterall are desperate for that fight now he’s lost to Barboza as there’s no other money fights for them.

 

I still think that Taylor will win, just. But the well is starting to run seriously dry. Inactivity, the kryptonite to many a class fighter.

 

Taylor is well past his best but Essuman is very limited and is no spring chicken himself. Taylor's class should tell for a UD.

 

I have to be careful what I write but Josh Taylor has looked bad in sparring leading up to the fight.

Hope I'm wrong but I think this will be the last time we see Josh Taylor as a pro. He has had an impressive career with many highlights and has a reason to be proud of what he has achieved.

 

I'm going to this.

Big Taylor fan and I've been to all his fights at the Hydro.

Unfortunately I don't think he'll win on Saturday, he doesn't live the lifestyle now and I thought he looked terrible in his last fight.

Would love to be proven wrong though.

 

Josh Taylor's footwork is non-existent. Essuman should get on his bike and then he´ll wins comfortably on points.
