Not a jot. Stopped early by Barroso. Eh, that’s it. Short notice opponent, what more could they do ? Win. Move on.
I've already got my ticket, even though I wasn't too enthused about Soto, not due to his record, which should be respected but because of his age and inactivity. He'd still have been savvy and durable, I thought. I don't know what to think about Campos. Young and a leftie which will be the most interesting thing for me.
I’m working again. The fact he’s southpaw makes it mildly interesting and think his KO percentage is solid but against who ? I’m not expecting great performance. One, he’s now fighting a southpaw who he’ll know little about i.e counter puncher, mover, pressure fighter etc. Second, motivation might drop a tad as he’s unknown and last minute replacement. Get a solid win. Division has lots of big fights in March so we’ll see where that leaves Taylor when smoke clears. Prograis-Indongo, Lipinets-Garcia, Ramirez-Imam, Baranchyk-Yigit and Broner-Figueroa. If none of those happen next and some won’t. A Hank Lundy, John Molina type opponent next would be acceptable as division lacks depth outside names above and guys like Dierry Jean (has he fought since Bud) Dulorme 147, Felix Diaz involved in tournament at 147 I believe. Postol injured. Catterall will build to fight Flanagan-Hooker winner and Yigit occupied. Maybe Antonio DeMarco ? This is now a stay busy fight, win well and be professional. Move on. Enjoy you’re night, I’m gutted. Three in a row now I’ve worked.
A real shame for Josh Taylor as he’s looking to force his way on to the world scene this year. Hopefully it still is a big year for him.
