Coming up soon. What an absolutley mouth watering fight seeing p4p level Flanagan taking on one of the toughest men in the sport Dirty Derry. Tete just won.
I saw Lewis Taylor in Sheffield a couple of years ago. He looked decent enough, but Langford v Taylor is probably the most featherfisted middleweight clash of all time.
Lewis Taylor is boxing nicely, he will certainly test Langford, he's accurate and sharp and is throwing the overhand right over Langford's jab. Langford looks messy and disfunctional. He can't really get into a groove.
Lewis Taylor takes the 11th clean uppercuts and the cleaner work. Langford tries battling back and literally just hugs, punches, hugs punches, very s****py stuff. I would go with the cleaner work of Taylor. Now if he wins the 12th big - could he catch a draw or a SD?/MD
Great rally from Taylor after the punishing 9th. Langford with decent hooks to the body. Taylor sharp overhand right.
Langford takes the 12th and the fight, i'll say it's been a close fight both had moments, but the middle round domination by Langford has probably done enough to win a points margin. I think 116-112, but it could be closer. Judges might also favor the cleaner work of Taylor. Langford won and it's been an important fight for him. But he's also shown me he is probably European level at best... lacks pop and isn't particularly technical. He throws lots of punches and has a good engine.
