    Taylor gives Crawford a good fight.

    That's the fight we need to see next.

    For me it's clear Josh is winning but the last 2 rounds Ramirez may of got them on the cards, so Taylor needs to be careful.

    Taylor should have gone for the KO.

    Right result but 114-112 hahaha. Criminal cards.

    Could tell though even though Taylor won at least 2 of the last 4 rounds that any closeish rounds would go to Ramirez, as Taylor was coasting at the end which I knew would be risky.

    Surely Britain's #1 P4P fighter now.

    Me and @Jurgen were there in Glasgow to see him win his first world title, cracking fighter best in the UK without a doubt

    Yeah Taylor allowed that to be close. Ramirez was there to be taken out in round 8.

    Great win for Taylor.

    He started off brilliantly but then Ramirez came back fighting in the 3rd and 4th - at which point I thought Josh could be in a bit of trouble here. But he dug deep and won the next two rounds before the two knockdown rounds. Terrible refereeing giving Ramirez about a minute a time to get back together! Josh then coasted through the fight as it was won but them scorecards are outrageous. 116-110 I had it. The judges scored it 6-6 other than the knockdowns!

    Taylor’s counter left hand is one of the best punches in boxing. I wonder just how far he can go at 147.

    I’d keep Taylor away from Crawford or next anyway. He’s still a bit green for me, only 18 fights in and he does have some vulnerabilities. If I was being critical tonight (which is very harsh), I’d like to Josh use his right hand more, lead right hooks, right hook to the body, a bit more jabbing and moving.

    Move up to 147 now. Have 1/2/3 fights before challenging Crawford.

    Nah I think you have valid points, if there is any criticism that is one good point, doesnt seek to throw right hooks.
