    He is getting a bit cocky but he was bang on about people wearing sunglasses indoors. I don’t think he’s gone over the top with the arrogance yet and there are far worse out there. He battered Ohara Davies so he gets a little bit of a free pass for me on that.

    Really looking forward to this fight. I rewatched the Indongo fight today and he was landing plenty against Progais but they were looping shots and his movement was poor so he was unable to keep him off him. Taylor’s shots will be much more sharp and straight. His movement will also be far better. This will cause Prog more problems because he won’t be able to get near Taylor for some periods as he won’t be able to stay in range without eating gloves. Against Indongo he could roll under shots easier and land them power shots.

    I’d go for a late stoppage or points for Taylor.

    It’s more than just a cliche pride comes before a fall. He’s really gone OTT with prograis and it could backfire badly on him. I thing his carry on at the weigh in really annoyed Prograis. Josh could have expected to bag a lot of the early rounds against a slow starter. But now prograis is enraged and will start faster than normal.

    That could go against him as he may lose focus and taylor could take advantage. Think your hatred for Taylor is blinding you here len. I am scottish and tbh like both fighters and hope for a great fight
    which i am pretty sure it will be.whoever wins is number 1 in division, whovever loses can come again with many great fights at 140 and 147 and maybe even rematch.

    He might gain focus too Kevin. Regis seems like a cool dude to me. Solid temperament. You don’t think josh is out of order with his conduct?

    Prograis was very respectful of Taylor admitting how good he is, Taylor's just looking a **** imo with the bitter spiteful attitude

    Progais was respectful and did not throw insults or jibes. Taylor, well he was abusive and there was no need for it.

    Taylor wins by KO but I just hope he can become a nicer guy because it would help his popularity.

    True it could work both ways thats why so intrigued by the fight, have changed way i see it playing out several times as both top level fighters. He has said a few things but alot guys do to get them self up for fight etc,wouldn't say he has said any worse than say chisora who says he murder a guy in ring a week after the death of a fellow pro,he wont meant it but is building a fight up or is hyped up it is a fight after all . Look at haye or bellew example or chisora several times

    In my opinion he is trying to get under prograis skin and looking gain any advantages he can and at this level small advantages could win you the fight ,as you have said could swing other way and he is too hyped up and walks onto one . Really looking forward to it tbh.

    Obviously you aren't Taylor biggest fan for the reasons you have said but would you try market him as fighter u pay to want see lose like Mayweather?

    Eddie needs to sack Okolie off
    Granted he is on a winning run but when your on PPV cards surely there should be an element of entertainment to be had from a fighter?
