Totally agree m8. Wins over Matthysse, Mendy and Corley show his quality. Great fight can't wait. I don't think Josh is a big ticket seller, shame as great to watch. I don't think more than 5-6000 tickets get sold for this, which isn't fair but it's what I expect.
Cant wait for this fight...i really rate Postol, rate Taylor even more though! That man is proving he will fight anyone..great match up.
Maybe but has Taylor sold more than 2000-3000 seats in any of his bills do far ? I hope he sells out I really do, terrific fighter and this is a gr8 fight, I just don't think it sells more than 5-6000. I hope I am wrong
Hopefully it will be close to a sell out. Not sure how much of the hydro he's getting though. He's only had 12 fights so it's unfair to have expected his past fights to be massive seller's. He'll end up a big ticket seller in Scotland. He's far too good and exciting to watch not to be imo. He's a breath of fresh air compared to watching a way past prime Ricky Burns and his skill level is way beyond that of Scott Harrison as well.
If he beats Postol he's going to perk up a lot of ears on a global level, perhaps not casuals at first but if he can perform successfully and consecutively in elite company then he'll dwarf Burns accomplishments and eventually his popularity. To put it into perspective, Burns has never beaten a fighter as good as Postol in his entire career. I can't think of a 3 division champion with a more anorexic ledger. Don't get me wrong, I think highly of Burns. It takes immense fortitude to overachieve to the degree he did. Taylor has the potential to be a different animal. If popularity was the prime goal over actual achievement Cyclone should have been screaming for a Burns match-up from the point he beat Davies. Obviously all of the above is moot if Taylor gets turned out by Postol.
We’re at the hydro in his last fight? There was 5-6 thousand there that night and this is a better fight by far with a top undercard
No but never looked near that amount on tv. I think it's a great fight really do, I would say the best away fighter in Scotland since Crawford Billy. I really hope Taylor pulls it of, real 50/50. Winner should be fighting for world title next. In fact seen many British fighters win world titles against weaker opponents this Postol.
Is it really a 50/50 fight through,? Great matchup and looks tough on paper but Taylor is going to decimate Postol.
I think when you have a guy who has beat several world class fighters and only lost to Crawford v a guy on way up who looks world class but who hasn't fought anywhere near that level as a pick um fight. Obviously Cyclone think Taylor will win, or their taking gamble for revenue purposes. I hope Taylor wins, he's capable and is gr8 to watch.
