    That's a tough one for both of them for sure. 60/40 Inoue

    Yigit on Reddit gave Ivan a 35% shot at beating Taylor. He apparently also fought Taylor as an AM, so he's been in the ring with both guys. He did say that it'll most likely end in a stoppage for either guy.

    Taylor is going to put a clinic on.

    Ivan appear to have Paul Sorvino in his corner.

    Yeah...if his D were better, I'd be hesitant on my Taylor KO pick. I think there's a reason why his manager tried to opt out of this fight when it was initially made.

    126 might go up to 130. Not a realistic fight.

    Got JT by stoppage because he's the 2nd most skilful fighter in the sport. But I can't write off anyone who can punch with both hands like Ivan, especially given we haven't seen Taylor in with a puncher of his calibre yet.

    Agree about Inoue destroying him tbh.

    Feel like Bantamweight has some close fights in it when Inoue moves up- everyone else seems on the same level

    Yep. I like Roman, he's a tough dude, but he's there to be hit and often doesn't pick his hands up after he punches. Inoue would absolutely massacre him.

    Round 1: 10-9 Taylor

    Baranchyk coming forward as expected but way too wide and sloppy with his shots. Taylor much cleaner work although i don't think he landed that much.

    They have started way too strong. Too risky for me, I wouldnt like my pupils to start so strong if I had them. Full power... cold... there's nothing good comming out of a start like this.
