    Very unlikable character.

    After winning you should be humble, he hasn't been. Incredibly OD has come across as a much more likeable character which is quite some reflection on Taylor.

    To be fair to Taylor, before the OD fight he always came across well. I think it was just due to the magnitude of the fight and the bad blood. He seems ok to me.

    How? He's said he didn't quit he just couldn't breath through his nose and also bragged about how much he had in the bank when saying the loss doesn't bother him. Still a *****.

    Nah, was About time someone put Ohara in his place.

    Every single guy Davies has fought has had to take abuse and negativity from him. Taylor has had no issue with anyone previously. there is a common denominator everytime Davies fights in causing any issues, himself!

    This is boxing not WWE. should everyone just be best friends after the abuse he gives out and his deluded rants? His abuse of guys on a normal wage, boasts about the Tom ford glasses he has glued to his forehead, his six figure pay packet in comparison to the rest of us apparent commoners?

    Long may Taylor's hounding of Davies continue. He made his bed, let him
    Lie in it.

    I think its funny he is mocking OD. The amount of **** talking he has done to everybody up to and including Taylor is a the disgrace.
    People say he is building the fight but does he have to try and mock decent hard working people who pay his wages? Thats unacceptable imo. OD can go **** himself.

    You're right boxing isn't WWE however if you want to make money the best way to do it is by starting 'fake beef'. Do you really think Haye and Bellew hated each other like they said they did? It's to build the fight and attract more viewers hence why that PPV did big numbers.

    OD is very good at selling fights, how has someone with his limited boxing ability and lack of tests managed to pull in that many viewers? because he builds the fight by talking ****. However after the fight the selling is done and both need to be humble, I hadn't seen the part about OD bragging about his pay cheque but he seemed humbled by the defeat in a video where he addressed Taylors team after the fight so that also doesn't come across great for him.

    I just think two young fighters should support and encourage each other after putting on a decent showing, Ohara can improve and Taylor has huge potential, surely they'd want to see each other succeed.

    This is the standard example of why Davies is a twat, one thing having beef with reporters but talking to someone like this is pure wrong. I would have stopped interview and told him he was a wanker

    that wasn't his point mate. hes saying in WWE its scripted so once the beef is done, its forgotten. but boxing is real, and if someone is abusing him on social media for months, then giving him abuse face to face, why would he be okay with him now hes beaten him?

    The state of boxing today is that certain fighters think they can say and act however they want in the lead up to a fight, then use the excuse "it was all to sell the fight" knowing fine well that more often than not their opponent will squash the beef after the fight.

    I actually find it refreshing the way Taylor is acting towards OD. Just because OD got banged up it doesn't mean Taylor should respect him now.

    i think it would make me respect him even less. ALL that talk, then to not only be completely outclassed the way he was, but to then quit as well coz of "his two noses" (lol). id just think "you spoke all that **** and thats all you could come up with?"

    Lol how touchy are some people.


    OD was dishing it out for weeks, Taylor left the majority of the talking for the ring and has had a bit of banter after. No harm.

    Just imagine OD won the fight, him and Hearn would be doing a lot worse than what Taylor is.
    Like others have said, it's always OD creating beef so it's about time he got his comeuppance!
