I had Ryder nicking it by a round or two - and that was giving the benefit of doubt in tighter rounds to the champ.
I can’t believe I just watched Smith getting such a wide points win. Disgusting.
7-5 in favour of Taylor for me. I’m probably what you’d call a casual but as far as I’m concerned he did enough early on to put distance between them. Prograis finished slightly stronger but it was too late.
It was a great bout to watch - and to his credit Prograis took the defeat very well.
That cut on Taylor’s eye looked nasty though. Hope it heals ok.
Came here to check if anyone else saw the Ashfaq v Dillon fight like me; the commentary was very biased towards Ashfaq.
Yeah he was getting the odd clean counter shot in but it largely wasn’t troubling Dillon. Dillon would then force him up against the ropes and fire in multiple uppercuts with no recognition from the comms.
Drago fight was boring until the closing 90 seconds and Josh finally sent me to sleep.
Flicked over to the other DAZN broadcast as I didn’t know what it was. A buzzing and full crowd in Ireland for a card of YouTubers compared to a half empty venue in Newcastle. Not a good sign.
