See he's fighting Miguel Vazquez at the Royal Highland, this is a good step up for him, he was world champion for a few years and has been in with Canelo, something to look forward to

Really good test for him. Vazquez has been in with guys like Alvarez, Bradley and Prescott.
If Taylor wins this it's a big statement this early in his career.
Jeez, Vazquez is probably top of my "do not watch him fight" list, he's a nightmare to watch, clinches constantly, real ugly fighter. Bit of a step up for Taylor though and one he'll do well to win. Vazquez is probably shot now though IMO.
Great fight for Josh, think he'll do the business.
Does anyone know when the first fight on the undercard is? Can't find it anywhere online.
I'm in the unallocated seats so want to get there sharpish. Doors open at 5 but that seems a bit too early.
Vasquez isn't your typical Mexican stylist. He's a move, ambush and spoil type. He's very tough like your typical Mexican though. He's never been stopped but he doesn't possess one punch power so Taylor doesn't need to worry much in that department. I remember Vasquez was voted one of the worst boxers to watch in some poll I read a few years back. I have however read he's been more aggressive since moving up to light welterweight. The safe bets Taylor on points but I have a feeling Taylor will stop him late.
Also looking forward to watching Lee Mcgegor on the card. Another Edinburgh lad who recently turned pro signing up with Cyclone promotions. He's meant to be a real talent. I think his fights to be shown on Spike tv.
Did anyone go to the open training session at the Omni Centre?
Good finish from Airdrie’s finest there. Those body shots are a killer.
Is this on the tv
Undercard on Channel 5 Spike now. 160 on Sky.
Hibs songs being sung. Is Lee McGregor one of our own?
I’m guessing lee is a hibs fan. The hibs songs were getting belted out there.
That’s the first time I’ve seen a fighter struggle to get up from a slip.
All over now, good debut for Lee.
Sparky and the burdz, what a lad. :greengrin
A mate that knows him says he’s a Jambo. Maybe no coincidence that he’s best pals with Cumdog and grew up in Saughton

Easton is a great fighter to watch, he always wants to get stuck in. Discipline might be a problem as he moves up in class, but I like what I see.
Nasty clash of heads, Easton looking to finish it..
What a round that was. Boxing at its best there.
This is some fight.
Ref was close to stopping it there
