Josh Taylor vs Jose Zepeda

Terrific fight.

If the Catt fight was truly an aberration and Taylor returns to Ramirez/Prograis from, I like the Scot by decision in a barnburner.

 

Im in. This is a fight Ive been asking for, but didn't expect to see.

 

If Zepeda boxes like he did in the Ramirez fight he can stop Taylor

 

Based on how weight drained Taylor was for his last fight im concerned for him

I had expected him to move up

 

Can't say I'm too happy with this from TTT - he can't be saying the Catterall fight was about the weight cut, but then stay @140. And it makes the '"sure i'll rematch Catterall - but it has to be @147" angle look a bit suspicious.

Don't get me wrong, TTT v Chon is a great fight, but it's rubbing salt into the wounds for Catterall IMO.

 

Bear in mind he was talking about how strong he felt in fight week. It's one thing for a fighter to hide his concerns by claiming that a troubled camp went well, but it's another for him to make a point of stating that he's stronger than he's ever been;

In light of that, it's hard to give the weight excuse much credence.

 

Damn well that throws a wrench into Regis Prograis's plans. He was set to fight Zepeda. What will he do now?

 

He should fight Catterall.

 

Only way he should take that fight is if it guarantees a Taylor rematch.

 

What's heavier 140 pounds of steel or 140 pounds of feathers?

 

Hell yeah! I think Zepeda has a really good shot at beating Taylor.

 

Literally the best fight that could be made in the division.

I hope Regis and Catterall fight on the undercard, Taylor fights the winner, then leaves 140 behind him.

 

Interesting that he's decided to stay at 140 for now yet swerve Catterall, I honestly think there's genuine animosity there now and Taylor is being a bit of a ***** and doesn't want him to give him another go.. but saying that this is a phenomenal fight… Two skilful southpaws.. It will tell us a lot about what is going on with Taylor at 140… Because he lost last time quite clearly imo… If he manages to beat someone like Zepeda it will certainly raise his stock again & as for Catterall his stock has certainly raised and I think he'll get a decent fight next time out anyway, be interesting to see who against… 140 is quality..

 

its the same
