Josh Taylor - Boxing

[BoyledEgg]

Josh Taylor vs Teofimo Lopez is reportedly now “close” to a done deal and being targeted for May 27th or June 3rd at Hibernian FC’s Easter Road stadium in Edinburgh. [According to @MikeCoppinger]

[JamesHFC]

Better than Madison Square Garden.

I assumed he would fight Jack Catterall again, even with the injury.

Hope not.

Jack had his number. I don't think it's a good fight for Josh. Probably pretty smart looking elsewhere although it looks like he's ducking Jack.

[B.H.F.C]

Him fighting at Easter Road would be good. The state of the pitch might no be.

[Jamesie]

Hope it doesn’t do as much damage to the pitch as Elton John did.

[CMac1988]

Pity he's patching the Catterall fight. Will hang over him for a long time. Either way happy enough to take in a fight at Easter Road. Pitch is a **** mind.

[Stairway 2 7]

Might relay the pitch with the money since its the end of season. Will be 10x the international interest in this fight compared to Catterall.

[Onceinawhile]

Wonder if season tickets will be valid

[LewysGot2]

Can I get my usual seat before a general sale? 🤣

Pitch is so bad am not sure that much more damage can actually be done !

Will the singing section be in the FF lower, hope so as it will look good on telly

Be able to get a beer in the stands that night which seems a bit ironic when there’s probably much higher chance of bother that night than you’d get at the vast majority of Hibs games

Mad eh. The chance of bother here on a Saturday night or a Hibs Ross County at 3pm

[Frazerbob]

Would be absolutely superb. Nobody outside the UK (or should I say England) is particularly bothered about the Catterall re-match. Josh v Lopez would be huge world wide. Catterall is mouthy wee prick. I'd find it hilarious if Josh dingied him.

[JohnM1875]

So he's shat it from fighting Catterall then?

Hope it isn't at Easter Road, pitched looked pretty poor against Dundee United and any kind of event just makes it worse.

I'm sure the extra zeros on the end of his pay cheque are more likely to be the reason than the fact he's "shat" it from Catterall

Aye only if we relay the pitch afterwards. Anyone know if we're planning on or due a relay? I know we do it every few years and it ain't cheap

[Haymaker]

Better than Madison Square Garden.

Cheaper for a pint as well.

[Torto7]

Hes hanging around with Kelbie, Hughes and all the other **** these days. I dont want Hibs taking money that comes from the Kinahans ultimately.

[Pretty Boy]

Prefer this to having to endure another fight v Catterall. It was a crap fight, their styles didn't really gel and the only reason anyone wants to see it again is because of the totally OTT 'robbery' stuff.

[Stairway 2 7]

This is a Top Rank fight its the American Bob Arum and ESPN, hence they will have no interest in Catterall. Lopez is still big business in the US and Mexico, winner will get another big fight

Ah but he’s a good Hibs man, ken?

[hibsbollah]

I’ve just been reading about the Kinehans. Quite incredible international scale they operate on.

[offshorehibby]

Are we not meant to be laying a brand new pitch this year. It was put off last summer due to the tail end of Covid.

[MountcastleHibs]

Take it you'll only get in if you don't have a COVID passport?

Surely only the unvaccinated or the right wing conspiracy theorists he seems to constantly retweet/agree with on Twitter?

[marinello59]

The deal was all but done with Catterall for a rematch, his team failed to sign it. Which is a pity because I would have loved to see Josh take him apart.

[superfurryhibby]

Big payday for Taylor if he gets that fight. Catterall, not so much. People dissing Taylor need to keep in mind that he's 33 (has a history of injury) and won't have too many big paydays ahead of him. Lopez is the big fight for the moneymen

Catterall would have been better off making other fights before now, shame he never (tough titty). For a guy of ambition, he's been too inactive

[Renfrew_Hibby]

I'm sure the next phase of stadium improvements is a new hybrid pitch and this summer was earmarked for its installation.
So any events in late May/ start of June should tie in well with the plans.

[green&left]

Fight can only go ahead if all woke LTN measures have been removed around the surrounding area too.

A fight night at ER sounds great, especially someone like Lopez.

Wonder if we'll relay the pitch THEN erect the stage/ring!?

And he knows he's nowhere near as good as some think. He had his big chance and knows his one big payday is the re-match with Josh. There's a reason he's not interested in Prograis or Ramirez. Would be nice to see Josh shut him (and his English fans) up but also funny if Josh decides to take another route.

[HIBS NUTS]

I would love to see josh fight at easter road, he’s been brilliant to watch and usually always has great fights, unfortunately his last fight was his worst, and he was clearly beaten.
However before this, other high profile boxers were avoiding him.
i just don’t think he was motivated enough by the Catterall fight.😞

I don’t think it was a motivation thing. When we saw him on the big screens before he walked out he didn’t look in great shape, making the weight had maybe taken too much out of him.
As an aside I was sat next to Catterall’s family and given some of the stuff they were shouting I was delighted to see them crushed by the verdict. :greengrin

He came back into camp much heavier than usual, and struggled after Covid and a chest infection. I honestly don’t think he will have more issues with the weight providing he comes back into camp healthy.

Also Caterrall can do one, hasn’t got one name on his record. He needs to get out there and beat other contenders.

He had covid? I thought he was a “Pure Blood”. Surprised he contracted anything with him being invincible.

They're all over the place. Scotland has a very long and established way of laundering money that the K's have been using for years. The fat Taxi guy in Perth being top of the chain. Ronan Cruise and the Fake bake lot are all linked to the K's, horses, football agencies, property and so on. Then you get tits like Kelbie and Hughes further down the chain living great lives whilst supposedly being bankrupt. Scotland is corrupt as f***. Jack McConnell's Mrs makes interesting reading as well with the Lyons family.

[SaulGoodman]

He’s a prick.

Wouldn’t say it to his face mind you.

But if I’m what I’m reading is correct, the main guys are living in the Middle East directing things and are essentially on the run from charges in the US, the UK and Ireland.

Was sound when I seen him in the Mash Tun a few years back.

That has shows on the pitch last festival and their pitch is in pretty good shape, much better than ours.

[Frazerbob]

Re the debate around damaging the pitch, this fight would ne a couple of weeks after the end of the season so could very w eh ll tie in with laying a new hybrid pitch And go a long was to subsidising it.

Nice people wouldn't get involved with the Kelbies of the world by choice. Maybe Josh is naïve to the way those types work as I've never met Josh.

[bingo70]

More of a general point as lots of people have said they don’t like him and I’m guessing a good number of them haven’t met him.

I’ve never met the guy but I think he comes across as a decent guy on the tele. On social media I disagree with most of his stuff but hey ho, he would probably disagree with a lot of stuff I think.

Probably loosely related but I’ve got sympathy for professional sportsman who don’t want to take vaccines. These guys have dedicated their lives to their bodies and monitor closely what they put into it. For them to be told just to trust the government and put whatever they say into it, when the government have been so untrustworthy I can understand the scepticism. That message of support falls down for the likes of Taylor when there’s been accusations of him taking coke but as a general point I get it. Probably stands more true for the likes of Djokovic than Taylor but even still, seems relevant.

Which is fair. But JT is constantly telling other folk not to, as well as ripping into those who do.

I know Alex Arthur quite well, certainly stop in the street and chat level. He’s a lovely personable guy but I absolutely hated his tweets from a few years ago that painted him in a racist light, and I’m not a fan of his Alba party flirtations either. But you can only judge the person in front of you and people do sometimes change, learn and grow I suppose.

Pugilistic heavyweight but intellectual lightweight
Every time he opens his mouth about anything but boxing he messes up.
Best keeping his opinions to himself.

He’s a friend of a friend but never actually met him. Comes across pretty well in the documentary I seen of him (but I guess people often do).

Glad I’m not on Twitter. But I know plenty people that can talk utter ***** but aren’t really bad people. I reckon it’d be easy to dislike a lot more people I know if my only experience of them was their tweets.

The anti vax stuff annoys (and baffles) me. But again, I know one or two others who have come out with such havers that aren’t bad people.
