That was a close fight I couldn’t properly score rounds 2 and 12 due to connection issues I had it 7 rounds to 5. Seems the majority have round 12 to prograis. That’s a “win” but too close to call. They need to run it back
He won't get it though. Taylor will not travel for a fight unless it is an easy win for him. Progais was a difficult fight. That's why it was in London, where Taylor is permanently based. And that's why Ricky Burns was on the card tonight, to bolster the number of Scottish fans in attendance. People with Taylor's political backing (McGuigan's, Eddie Hearn, Sky etc.) don't travel for fights that are actually competitive. They always need home crowds, judges, referee's and biased shilling commentary. Taylor did win tonight, but he had a lot of help.
I could watch this fight multiple times and end up scoring the rounds differently every time. Taylors was scoring some nice punches on the inside throughout the fight that were subtle and easily missed. Prograis started and finished well, but Taylor did enough in the middle of the fight.
Great fight, fair decision, I’d like to see it again. Doubt it will happen any time soon. Both guys fought well. Definitely warrants a rematch.
have a day off. It was in London because it made the most money there, otherwise it would've been in Scotland or the US.
