Did as well as could be expected. Have never seen someone with a stance that low, how is noone in his camp trying to improve on it

[Mon Dieu4]

Boxing masterclass by Taylor, great night all round, reminded me of Calzaghe v Lacey, showed he can go toe to toe with a so called big hitter as well, can't wait to watch it on tv again

[Pretty Boy]

Taylor was great last night. That was another step up and he never really looked in trouble. Maybe too keen to stand and trade on occasion but I think that was a bit of showboating. The sky is the limit for him if he stays injury free and keeps his focus.

I really hope Scotland gets behind him. There was quite a few empty seats last night. In saying that it was still a healthy crowd and the atmosphere for the Taylor fight was electric. Davies revelled in his role as the villain and his Undertaker entrance was superb.

[hibs#1]

David Haye and his haymaker promotions have signed a deal a with tv station dave, more boxing on free tv which is good.

[Anti-hoofbaw]

Anthony Yigit beat Joe Hughes last night to retain his European title via a clear but tough fought UD. Josh Taylor was on the ringside annalysis as he was meant to be fighting Yigit next but Yigit basically ducked him to his face post fight saying he's going back down to 135 as he doesn't have the power he would like for 140. Taylor looked a bit pissed off tbh.

Lee McGregor performed well on the undercard with the ref having to save his opponent from further punishment in the 2nd. The Pole he was fighting wasn't up to much though.

[Finn2015]

Taylor has got great potential to be a world champ. Getting better and better

I was watching a bit of the build up yesterday and his team are saying that they weren’t aware of the rules about the weigh in. I’ve no idea what they meant by that. I’m looking forward to a bit of verbals between Selby and Warrington after the fight.

the British board of control make you be a certain weight by certain dates throughout the camp so they know you've made the weight safely, he was about 9 pounds over at that point, I'm not sure all governing bodies have the same rule so perhaps he didn't know and was going to crash it all in the last couple of days

I thought it must be something like that. Frank Warren was really annoyed about it.

[lord bunberry]

I’ve watched a fair bit of the build up to the degale fight, and it must be a bit of a concern that he was told his shoulder won’t be 100% for another few months. Truax probably won’t be be good enough to trouble him though.

[lord bunberry]

Degale is all over the place here.

[lord bunberry]

What a round that was. Excellent stuff.

[lord bunberry]

Truax by one on my scorecard.

[lord bunberry]

I’ve got Truax by one round going into the last round. Degale needs a big round here.

[lord bunberry]

I’ve got that dead level. Good fight whowever wins.

[Pretty Boy]

Too close to call. Think Truax might have nicked it but you often really have to win a world title away from home so draw or close for Degale wouldn't shock me.

[lord bunberry]

I can’t argue with that decision, although the last judge giving it to Truax by four rounds was a bit out.

[Pretty Boy]

How wrong was I? 4 rounds and 3 rounds for Truax seems wide to me though.

Back to the drawing board for Degale now, not in the Super Series and not sure he'll be on Groves or Eubanks radar without a world title to bring to the table. I've never really take to Degale so can't say I'm too upset tbh.

Suppose it depends on how the super series goes, for the loser of Groves V Eubank then Degale will probably still be the biggest payday for all involved unless he has a rematch clause

[lord bunberry]

Degale’s biggest problem now is that he isn’t in the super series. He might get a rematch, but even if he wins he’s not going to get a fight that’s going to capture the imagination.

[lord bunberry]

Anyone watching the Evander Holyfield documentary on BT sports. What a brilliant fighter he was. Growing up he was my favourite heavyweight fighter, in a time that we were spoiled for choice in the heavyweight division. It really was a golden time for boxing as we had the ultra competitive super middleweight division over here.

[Pretty Boy]

Comfortable win for Billy Joe Saunders again last night/this morning.

When he is in the mood and fit then he's close to the best boxer Britain currently has for me. He's called out Golovkin again and I'd like to see him get his chance.

He'll have to step up big time on his last couple of performances if he's going to be competitive.

I think his style will suit Joshua and can see a late stoppage or wide points.

[CallumLaidlaw]

AJ's trainer said he's looking to come in around 7lb lighter than he did against Takam. Good, as I do think he was too big. He'll need to be quicker against Parker.

Delighted the way the fight has worked out. I am organising a stag do that day. 18 of us booked into Hospitality against Partick, and then I had a table for 21 booked in the 3 sisters in the evening for grub. Been advised today they have moved us up to the beer hall as they are opening it for the boxing, so have requested a decent table in front of the big screen. Should be a cracking day.

Press conference starting shortly on Matchrooms youtube channel.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Josh Taylors next fight announced for the Hydro on 3rd March. Seems quite short notice so can only see it being a defence of his WBC silver title.

UPDATE - Opponent now announced as Humberto Soto

[Mon Dieu4]

Seems like a ticking over kinda fight til something bigger appears, don't know much about Soto but looks likes he's had lots of fights, so a bit experience for JT rather than moving up the rankings

Also just saw that 1&2 and 3&4 in the WBC are all fighting and the winners meet for the vacant title, so nothing much can be done other than gaining more experience in the meantime

I will be there though, Easton is never in a bad fight and sure McGregor will be on the undercard as well

[Since90+2]

Soto looked absolutely huge at the press conference , he is going to have to lose some amount of weight to make the 10st limit and will undoubtedly be drained. He has also not had a fight since 2016 and is 37 years old , if Taylor is as good as most people think he is this fight should be relatively straightforward.

Soto is actually a small 140 fighter. He's fought at featherweight, super feather and lightweight. He does look like he needs to lose a bit of weight but he should make the weight no problem. I think he looks huge because he has a massive heid. Must be a Mexican thing because Mikey Garcia's huge dome also makes him looking bigger than he is. Vasquez had a massive heid tae.

As for the fight. Soto was some fighter in his day but at his age I doubt he'll be anywhere near the fighter he once was. Experience might get him through the fight but no chance he beats Taylor.

Thank the lord we also had Gassiev vs Dorticos to watch as well, this was one of the worst fights I've ever seen.

Both these fighters are on a fast-track to absolutely no where and won't move past British level, book it.

Either of these jokes would be KO'd in the 1st round by Gassiev, Dorticos, Breidis etc....even Tony Bellew would school them.

Uncouth, uncultured and out his depth. Hopefully Eubank will disappear back into his box after that.

Groves was really excellent tonight. If not for the shoulder injury I don't think Eubank would have troubled him much at all, as he did very little in the previous rounds

Brahmer's an old man (39! but pretty canny. I think he'll have too much for Smith but don't think he will have the energy and pressing boxingto do what Froch did to Groves


Callum Smith for me always thought he could be the main man at super middleweight so I'm sticking with him.

Anybody else stay up for the Srisaket Sor Rungvisia vs Juan Francisco Estrada fight ?

[Navids Numpties]

Good lot of fights on tomorrow. Wilder vs Ortiz, Brook vs Rabchenko. Dave Allen also fighting for the commonwealth heavyweight title vs Lenroy Thomas. Jason Easton fighting Glenn Foot on the undercard of Josh Taylor vs some unknown Nicaraguan after his opponent pulled out they had to resort to this guy. I reckon the Easton fight is going to be an absolute cracker. Hopefully Wilder gets made to look daft tomorrow also.

I’m really looking forward to it tomorrow. I fear for Brook though. I think josh will win again, I loved his antics at the press conference.

[murray26]

Going to the Taylor fight.. looking forward to it..

[Speedy]

I see the boxing is from 10pm on channel 5. Does anyone know if the undercard (Easton in particular) is on anywhere?

Normally it's on 5 Spike but doesn't look like it.

Just watched the Wilder fight and, regardless of what he says, he was hurt in the 7th.

I agree. The Fury who dethroned Wlad in Germany beats Wilder and Joshua convincingly.

Watched it on a paid for sports add-on I have on kodi. Think it was HBO. Both superb fighters btw. Sor Rungvisia got the decision in a close competative fight. Rungvisia is the guy who beat Roman Gonzalez x2. On points the first time and brutal ko the second time.

His record is outrageously **** if you understand the level of opposition that's on there. If his record was any good he'd be in the discussion as an ATG heavyweight. He just got his first elite level win. His record is one of the biggest jokes in boxing.

He was definitely hurt. One more big punch and he was done. A younger fighter may have finished him off in the 8th.

Wilder is just a swinger. That was his first fight against a top 10 opponent and he got through due to his opponent Tiring. AJ beats him. Then AJ v Fury in early 2019 - that’ll be a very interesting fight. Can see why some say fury, but I’m interested to see how AJ looks coming in lighter.

Perfect fight for Josh Taylor before he steps up to face the elite of the division.

I think that's the caveat for many.

However the Fury that beat Wlad has the beating of Joshua and Wilder imo.

I can’t make my mind up. I am a huge AJ fan and want him to unify the division. I hate fury and all the crap he’s spouted. I hate his style too, it’s not entertaining. But if he’s at his very best, would his speed and footwork frustrate AJ? Very possibly. I’d love AJ to put him on the canvas within a round or 2, but my worry is, fury would take it on points.

AJ has a media trained personality and is an ex drug dealing black supremacist. Fury just talks **** for a laugh. Don't understand why people like AJ over Fury. Fury made a jokey comments about Zionist Jews and some about women and is labelled a sexist and a racist because of it but AJ gets away with murder due to being the media darling and the main face of the Sky/matchroom cash machine. AJ has got away with comments he has made about the superior black race and other stuff brushed under the carpet by the hype machine. Give me Fury over that big stiff racist fake idiot AJ any day of the week. Fury's antics are comedy gold imo. Each to their own though, mate.

It's the double standards that I have issue with not so much the comments. If Fury had made comments about the superior white race the press would slaughter him. AJ recently got a bit of stick for a sexist comment he made about his niece. If it was Fury spewing out that stuff the press would have went in hard on him. Being a Muslim AJ has some ****ed up beliefs btw. As for Fury's comments being 100% not joking, well he's got interviews where he states it's all just a big joke to get the fans interested. I believe him but if you don't then that's up to you. To me Fury's comments are tongue in cheek while AJ's are definitely his beliefs.

Fury is the man imo and I can't wait for his return.

Joshua isn't a Muslim. He was raised a Christian. From the horses mouth:

Speaking to iFL TV, Joshua said “I am not a Muslim but I respect Muslims and appreciate Muslims”.

If Linares wins more than a couple of rounds i'd be surprised.

One of the greatest amatuers boxer of all time no doubt but he's only had 11 fights in the pro game, mate. (10 wins 1 loss). The guy's so good they threw him in at world level from the start. He's potentially an ATG but no where near there yet.

Ritson is up now. I hope Whyte gets knocked out, he’s a classless prick. I was watching the build up last night and he comes across as an absolute tit.

Strange tactics from Cardle. He’ll never keep this pace up. In fact that’s it all over.

My thoughts too, went down so heavily I feared for his safety. They talked about how well the British boxing board deal with safety and care of the fighters, yet I question wether he should have been allowed in there in the first place. Was in no shape at all for a fight at that level.

Yep he just slumped onto the floor face down and lay motionless for around 30 seconds, I genuinely thought he was gone.

I know very little about the rules of boxing but if he wasn't going to be prevented from fighting in the first place, I think he should have been stopped after about 3 or 4 rounds. He was badly injured and could barely defend himself from further punches.

I might be wrong and perhaps someone with more boxing knowledge will put me right but I thought that fights should be stopped when a boxer is struggling to defend themselves and I thought that was quite clear last night from quite early on.

At the start of the fight the referee tells both fighters to defend themselves at all times. Browne was just walking onto punch after punch. I hate to see fights being stopped too quickly, but Browne was putting himself in real danger last night, by being so unfit and not trying to defend himself. I’ve seen really quick fighters adopt that style, and use speed to slip punches, but I’ve never seen someone as slow as Browne do it.

Just watching it now, how is this guy a professional??

It was a real mis-match.

I think Hearne is a total cowboy, there have been Tom's of fights over the last few years where his promising fighters have been chucked in against no marks, usually with some spurious record behind them, who are little more than cannon fodder when it comes to fight night.

That guy was in no shape to fight at the level, but by going him up and letting Whyte do some serious damage to him, Hearne has hyped up his fighter and the circus goes on.

[Since90+2]

Just watching it now, how is this guy a professional??

Believe it or not he is a former world champion.

His age and inactivity were clear to see in that fight but he is an ex world champion (albeit won in murky circumstances) and was unbeaten in 25 fights with 22 knockouts so it was certainly a decent fight on paper.

To be to fair to Hearn when he signed the fight months ago he has no idea or control what shape Browne is going to turn up in come fight night.

It's the responsibility of the fighter and his trainer to turn up in shape for a 12 round fight , not the promoter.
