All Square after 4 id think.
I think Taylor has lost first 3 rounds, with 4th drawn
Taylor takes the 5th. It's tight thats for sure.
That was Taylor’s best round
I have JT 1 up

Great round from Taylor he needs to keep him at distance.
Prograis is going to go soon.
Josh really stepping it up now
Taylor surely up after 7, 1-2?
I had JT up but a few commentators and ringside boxers had Prograis up by two or three, it's one of those bouts that everyone could call differently.
What a top quality fight this has been, I’ve got Taylor by 2
Good round there for Taylor.
Surely still one up. Surely to god. It's like the game today at Easter Road 😂😂
Me tooQuote:

Fantastic fight. I’ve got Taylor up by 3 now. Prograis looks exhausted
Taylor winning ever round now. Prograis is tougher than I thought though.
Proper world title fight. Too close to call. Leaning towards JT though.
What an 11th round from both boxers!!
Fight of the year, no matter the outcome a rematch must be on the cards.
What a fight.
Magnificent fight
What a ****in fight
What a fight. Taylor surely
I’ve got Taylor by 1
I have JT by 1 round. What a fight.

Think Taylor just took it by a one or it's a draw.
Taylor just imo but a draw or Progaris by one would be understandable.
Taylor does it!!
Taylor wins on points.
Get in
Fantastic, what a boy !!!!!!!
Yeeeeesssss
'kin yaaaaassssss
Absolutely delighted for him!!
Amazing.
Taylor does it, pub erupts. 117 seems generous to me. Absolutely stunning performance though. That was a proper fight and he earned it.
Forza Italia with that last scorecard :greengrin
Great fight 2 warriors

No one really loses that fight. Fight of the year contender and both cement their place as genuine world class fighters.
i felt prograis finished the stronger the last two rounds(prograis agrees with me) and had him just ahead on my scorecard :greengrin dunno where the 117-112 came from but hey ho absolutely delighted for Josh :take that
shame his father in-law died recently
I hope jt is nowhere near a rematch. Far too dangerous.Quote:

Class from Prograis to say the better man won. I’d love to see a rematch.
117-112 is mad, but we see that regularly now. JT edged it. Really like Prograis, head movement is outstanding

That was amazing well done Josh.. I had it level but Taylor’s won his rounds more clearly I thought.. a rematch would be a blockbuster.. Edinburgh castle or ER..
Easter Road would be epic.Quote:

Talk of Lomacheko stepping up another division after being made franchise champion. Josh vs Loma at Easter Road please.
I love loma, he's my favourite fighter but he's never moving up to super light weight, they are just too big for him, his biggest fight is V tank at super feather if it ever gets made imoQuote:

It’s nothing to do with him being English or not, he had to work towards becoming a big draw, that’s why he was entered in to the series. After last nights superb win he will be getting much more attention.Quote:

What a night that was! In typical JT fashion, a proper tear up. Absolutely delighted for him knowing the sacrifices he’s had to go through and the horrendous start to this camp he had. Proud as punch!
It would be interesting to see how the mystery WBSS 4th card, used in the event of a draw, had it.
I watched the fight again this morning to see if I saw it differently out of the heat of the moment. I still stand by the assertion it is a fight of the year contender, it was just a great scrap and I think the judge who had it 115-113 got it pretty much spot on.
116-113 in favour of Josh if I remember rightly. It was posted this morning.Quote:

The interesting one for me is the judge that had it 117-112 gave rounds 3 & 4 to Josh. Those were CLEAR Prograis rounds. Utterly bizarre.Quote:

Amazing atmosphere. Thousands of Scots giving it laldy and the Londoners right behind Josh as well. Who’s who of British boxing royalty at the aftershow party and JT’s family proud as punch (pun intended). Only downside was the £18 for a voddy lol.
Next stop Vegas?
Oooft. Just about recovered from that. Quality weekend in London and an amazing night of boxing.
Had Josh two up into the last. Fight was definitely won through the middle rounds, Prograis couldn’t match Taylor’s pace between rounds 5 and 10. Think the eye injury definitely affected Josh and gave Prograis a second wind. Unbelievable fitness levels, skill and determination from both fighters though, a joy to watch.
Bring on Ramirez!
Benn’s fight cancelled. 😂
Not really a shock, apparent shoulder injury to Ben but he should never have been allowed to go ahead with this regardless, a boxers wellbeing should always come firstQuote:

Inoue v Donaire live on Sky in Thursday at midday. Another great scrap on the cards.
I just assumed it was this weekend.
Thursday? What a odd day to have it on.
Thursday seems to be main day in Japan for sports (or maybe just boxing), or so I’m told.Quote:

Should be a decent scrap. They have known each other for years and sparred together so could be interesting.Quote:

Dilmaghani and Fonseca was a proper battle. Scored a majority draw but I had Fonseca by a couple.
Really enjoyed it, as you say a proper scrap, I had Fonesca edging it tooQuote:

McGregor can't land.
Farooq is brilliant going to the body. He's quite open when walking in but seems to be getting away with it so far.
Just as well McGregor has shown he can take a punch or he could well be have been out of there already.
Mcgregor is throwing more and probably has landed more but farooq’s movement is superb and looks like his punches are doing more damageQuote:
