His biggest challenge yet. Postol hasn’t been great in his last 2 fights but he’s still a world class boxer. Confident JT’s got what it takes to beat him though. Decent undercard too, think it’s on Spike?

Yeah 8.30 on spike. Should see Bakole, McGregor and a rerun of Chantelle Cameron as she’s on just before the shows live I’m sure.

Fully confident the panner will do the business tonight again.

McGregor is an exciting prospect. Scotland having a purple patch with boxers atm. Both Taylor and McGregor will be world champs imho

This boy he’s fighting sounds quite good but you’re only getting 1/12 for Taylor to win?

Anyone able to shed any light on how good this boy he’s fighting actually is?

C'mon Josh - think he has the class to win with this within the 12 but should be a good fight

He was decent. Well beaten by Crawford but no disgrace in that. Struggled in his comeback but got the job done. Beat Matthysse which is no easy task. This being only his 3rd fight in close to 3 years raises questions.

He's a former world champion and tough - he's in his mid 30's now I think so maybe past his peak

He's in with a proper fighter tonight. Postols round comfortably. Interesting half hour or so ahead.

Judges rarely score a round a draw. The flashy shots came from Postol.

Better round from Taylor and that round was his. Looked much, much better when getting inside.

Better 2nd round - 1 round each for me

Pretty Boy
23-06-2018, 09:47 PM
This could go 12 rounds. Postol can take a shot.

Postol controlled the distance there but Taylor landed a few big counters. Tough round to score.

That round could have gone either way

Pretty Boy

Great 4th round. Hard fight to score, I think Postol is nicking it though.

Benny Brazil

Agree - depends how judges see it but Postol could be 2 or 3 rounds up here

Very good close fight thus far. Postol only narrowly round 4 winner

Big 2nd half of the fight required from Taylor. He's behind here. Better end to round 6 though.

Taylor started that round very well but a very strong finish by Postol in that round

Postol is by far Josh’s toughest opponent so far, this guy is a proper fighter.

IGRIGI

For me he's going to need to win the last 4 rounds if he doesn't knock him out

Benny Brazil
23-06-2018, 10:13 PM
Josh landed some big shots and Postol just took them

Bit of a home advantage on the score cards there! Thought he won by 2-3 rounds by one judge had it 119-108-bizarre!

IGRIGI
23-06-2018, 10:31 PM
I thought the knockdown and the start to the last round swung it to Taylor after Victor banked a number of early rounds, not sure what fight the judges were watching.

Nae complaints like:greengrin

23-06-2018, 10:32 PM
Did Taylor just do the 'do you want a drink after this' motion with his hand to Postol? 😂. Absolutely brilliant if he did.

Thought taylor grew in confidence as the fight went on. I thought he was a good couple of rounds ahead without the knockdown factored in

Hibby70
23-06-2018, 10:34 PM
That was really good from channel 5. AAA and the American commentator were great and no ads every round. Super stuff. Think Barry threw about 100 punches in the last few rounds

I’d imagine it’ll have something to do with receiving a few punches to the head in the last hour or so.

Ones far bigger than the other. I wasn’t too sure if it was due to a damaged eye socket

Absolutely crazy scorecards. No idea how you can give 1 round to Postol

Postol was certainly Josh’s toughest fight to date.

Didn’t think it was that one sided either but oh well, who cares. A win is a win. Well done Josh 👍🏾

After watching the interview after the fight it is very noticble that Taylos has one pupil much bigger than the other - is this dangerous, due to a brain injury or does he have this already?

I'd imagine it's more to do with the damage that caused the cut to his eyelid (maybe a thumb). I'd imagine the doc will check it's nothing more serious as this can be a dangerous sign of other things.

Cracking fight but disagreed with the judges, I had it a lot closer, I think the Taylor camp thought that too as they looked a tad nervous at the end, I had him winning the last 3 round giving him it by 3-4 points.

Pupils of different sizes can be something to be concerned about.

I'm sure these guys have doctors all over them after fights but I hope he's ok.

Toughest fight by a long way, 3-4 points would have been a fair reflection.

The doc had a light in his eyes at the end of the fight so probably is the damage he has sustained to the same side, also on his eyelid.

The dilated pupil was from the adrenaline in the swap that was treating the cut above his eye so not a big issue.

Josh is now the best 140 pounder with the possible exception of Regis Prograis who is a monster puncher.
