Is his opponent confirmed? Last I read Baranchyk said he was 100% out of the tournament regardless of what the contracts said.Quote:

Just had a look and Ticketmaster cant be that confident as instead of naming it Taylor V Branczyk (sp?) its just called World super six boxing or something so my search for Josh Taylor returned zero results!
It would never have been billed as Taylor V Baranchyk on Ticketmaster. It’s a WBSS show and that would always be the billing.Quote:

Only just nabbed it by split decision too, with the knockdown being the difference. Really enjoyed the fight.Quote:

Do you have a contact? I thought tickets weren’t released until this Thursday.Quote:

Tickets bought for Josh Taylor as well. Can’t wait.

Anyone up & tuning into the latest Lomachenko beat down tonight?
I really like Crolla, he's as great guy but Lomachenko is the greatest boxer I've ever seen, sounds mad as he's only had 14 professional fights but the guy is simply amazing and does things I've never seen before, think he's found his weight though and he shouldn't move up to 140 although I'd love to see him against Taylor
Can’t see him ever going up to 140, unfortunately.Quote:

Hoping he gets in with Mikey Garcia next as he’s another who has the pedigree to cause him issues.
Would be a good fight with Campbell, he's got amazing speed and did well against Linares, but I think Loma is pretty much untouchable, Garcia would be his biggest test I thinkQuote:

Squeaky bum time for Hearn & co.
Apparently he hasn't failed, he's simply returned an "adverse finding". :-)Quote:
