    I know im not the only one who is looking foward to this one, what a cracking fight.

    Whats your thoughts on this one boys, who wins it and how?

    Josh Taylor has to be the most exciting fighter around at the moment, he is fighting everyone and beating them soundly so far!

    I said i was stopping with the betting but i gots to have a little flutter on this one!!

    I think Taylor will do a proper number on Postol and stop him in the 9th or 10th round. Really looking forward to this. Taylor is class and a joy to watch.

    Absolutely.

    Will make a refreshing change to watch a UK fighter moving to world level fighting increasingly difficult opponents.

    This will help Taylor stay at the top when he gets there and give him a real chance when he does face elite fighters.

    Too often we see Matchroom/Fish fighters handed their own arris simply through poor career development winning World Titles against mediocre/very poor poo then fighting cans - Kell Brook the obvious example who has come up badly short when he has faced the only 2 elite fighters in his career.

    he seems to get better every fight, i just hope he is getting paid well by slimy Barry.
    i think he stops him late or wins on point winning nearly every round.

    I’m going to go with Taylor in the mid-late rounds. 6/7/8 I fancy.

    I think Postol starts well early but Taylor will figure him out. Postol is decent but he isn't dynamic. He's very much like a Wlad without the power

    . Spot on no interest in padding record or taking on easy paydays guy is top class wants take on best and seems a genuine decent guy want root for all best. Think late stoppage maybe corner pulls him out then onto bigger things for josh

    Can't wait. Just been to the open workout and Postol looks like a hard man! Didn't see them together but Postol actually looked like the bigger man. Still fancy josh to do it though in 10.
    lee mcgregor looked good on the pads but the boy jea fighting looked terrible! Wasn't even close to connecting properly with the pads most of the time!

    Based on what I have seen from Taylor so far and his improvement in every fight, I think he will win by stoppage and it could be as early as round 5.

    Cyclone have done such an amazing job with Taylor, just a shame he hasn't got the casual following as he is a class act.
