Sure he will win, I'd like to see him step up a good level or two after tonight.

Undercard, which looks extremely mouth watering with Flynn vs Collins and 4 title fights, is live on Facebook (sportsbible if I remember right).

A 'keep busy' fight for Taylor until something bigger comes along. His last couple of fights were both potentially tricky and he took them in his stride. He'll win inside 6 tonight.

Yeah I’d agree with this as well. I think he’ll win in 6 rounds. Can’t say I know much about Campos but very confident Taylor can take him out early!

Easton as well should win tonight, really rate Easton he’s a very good boxer and seems to have the power as well.

Been on already. Sadly took a lot of heavy shots and lost.

losing to glenn foot whos had double the fights of easton is not a shock.
i like jason but he gets involved too much in tear ups, if he uses his skills more he can come again hes young enough too.
hopefully foot will fight josh leather again...they dont like each other

There was always the worry something like that could happen to Easton. He’s been in a few wars already, his last 2 fights especially, and if you keep getting hit eventually you lose.

He’s a good lad and a good boxer though and I’m sure his time will come again.

I agree about Jason. He needs to smarten up if he’s going to further in the game. He’s got the talent, he doesn’t need to get into a war in every fight.
Im hoping that the Taylor fight and the kell Brook fight don’t overlap, but obviously I will be watching josh if it does.

How unlucky was Charlie Flynn there? He was looking really good there and winning then another clash of heads means another TD.

I think that’s just his style, likes to drag the fighter into a real scrap so to speak. I do agree he needs to use his boxing brain though and know when to do that as each fight will be different.

Was pretty convincingly beaten, gave him the 5th round but every other to Foot until KO. Foot was massively overpriced at 2/1.

2/1 does seem generous going by that performance.

Good start Taylor. Looking good when he gets close, Canpos looks like he'd prefer it to be fought at a big distance.

Early signs that Taylor has this within 4 for me. Campos doesn't look like an inside fighter at all and that's where the fights being fought.

Usual case of a last minute substitute not being up to it. Taylor has way too much class for Campos. Soto would have been a good test for JT.

Farce of a fight really. Campos didn't want to be there in that last round and practically sat down as soon as he took a half decent shot.

Suppose when it was all arranged at short notice you can only fight what's available.

Think he knew he had no chance and instead of fighting on and taking unneccessary damage he took the easy/sensible route of quitting whilst it was still his choice.

Ref doesn't call it and he's out cold by round 4/5 imo.

Guy didn't want to go out for the 3rd round. Spat his gumshield out at the end of the 2nd, sat with his head down and took an age to get off his stool at the start of the 3rd. First chance to get out of there he took.

Take nothing away from Taylor who done what he had to do.

Correct nothing heavy there at all, the boy seemed happy to just get out that ring. His body language as well told a story he looked petrified!

It looked a mismatch, but please don't criticise Campos who was the guy who could have been badly hurt.

If you're going after someone go for Campos's handlers who should have withdrawn him after round 2, or above that the promoter who brought in an inadequate replacement when Taylor's original opponent had to pull out through injury.

Looking at the replays again, he was also taking a knee due to simply being overwhelmed. It was a total skill mismatch and I think he knew it (see my other reply). Someone taking your back in a fight is usually a sign of much superior skill.

Add to that, the other knockdowns were mostly due to his legs being unable to keep up with the pace of the fight, which meant his balance was everywhere and that puts your body/head in really awkward positions to counter. At that stage staying upright is difficult.

Josh is very heavy handed and his body shots are bombs. World title at ER before the year ends please Barry.

Campos looks like a scared rabbit.

I think he had more to offer but never looked keen from the start. Am I right in saying he's training for a fight at the moment and seemingly in good shape and that's why they threw him in?

Is it possible he didn't want to risk himself for his own, more important, fight?

Was shocked when I first heard this.

He’s a good lad and, whilst not condoning what he has done in any way, I can only assume it’s been a moment of madness. A timely reminder that every action has consequences I suppose.
