    Taylor, top fighter.

    Building himself a very good resume.
    That’s how I scored it also 6 rounds to 6. With those two nasty knock down earning Taylor a clean win.

    It was a good fight and a good win by Taylor. He is building himself a good resume for sure.

    That was my first time really seeing him fight and he impressed me. In fact both fighters impressed me.

    Imo I love Taylor’s chances against Crawford or Spence.

      funnily enough, I don’t think Taylor and Spence are massively different stylistically. Both southpaws that can fight inside, outside, throw nice compact spiteful punches etc.. good feet when they need it, without being a dancer or runner. they share some similarities in how they approach fighting, I’ve always thought it.

      that said, I think Spence would be too big and strong and overwhelm him. He’s a big welterweight.

        Imo that fight was legit 6 rounds to 6. I’m also good with someone scoring it 7 to 5 for Taylor, but giving Taylor more that 7 rounds is scoring with bias eyes.

        6-6 is absolutely correct with the two knock downs giving Taylor a clean win.

        People complaining about the scorecards are just being bias and judging with a crooked eye.

        Fact is Taylor did not white wash Ramirez. He did win clearly but is was absolutely not a white wash. Ramirez had many good moments and absolutely legitimately won at the very least 5 rounds.

        Fact is Taylor did his share of holding and running. Imo he prolly could have stopped Ramirez if he would have bit down more but he was very wary of the body and combos Ramirez was coming with.

        It was a very solid fight, a clean win by Taylor big absolutely far from being a white wash victory.

          I agree absolutely with what you said. I think Spence would win but I thinks Taylor has a legit chance of beating him too. I do think Spence’s size would be the difference in the end.

          imo I think Taylor and Crawford is 50-50 or 55-45 in Crawford’s favor. I’d love to see that fight.

            I think the Crawford fight is more intriguing

            140 to 147 is a big jump for some fighters, especially when fighting a bigger WW like Spence. But with Crawford being a former 140 champ, I think it makes that jump up
            a bit easier for Taylor and not as much of a factor. It would just be down to if he’s good enough or not.

            cant see why that fight cant happen. Both with the same promoter. Crawford needs a good fight and there’s nowhere else for Taylor to go at 140, everything from this point is a backwards step.

                Hell of a resume at 140:
                Miguel Vazquez (former IBF lightweight world champion)
                Viktor Postol (former WBC super lightweight world champion)
                Ivan Baranchyk (reigning IBF super lightweight world champion)
                Regis Prograis (reigning WBA (Super) super lightweight world champion)
                Jose Carlos Ramirez (reigning unified WBC and WBO super lightweight world champion)

                Undisputed WBA (Super), WBA, IBF, WBO, The Ring, Lineal Super Lightweight World Champion
                World Boxing Super Series Tournament Champion

                Doesn't get much more complete than that. Took out three reigning champs in the division, one former champ in the division, and one former champ one division down on his way to completely unifying 140.

                  ”complete” oh boy

                  Hahaha are you one of those guys that discredits Canelos wins over Kovalev, Jacobs etc but now praises Taylor for beating C level Old guys like ancient Miguel Vasquez, C level Barychk, Postol ??? Lol

                  Taylor has yet to beat a great fighter or future HOF. Lol


                  Taylor goes life n death in a MD over Prograi who allot of people feel he lost too and edged Ramirez in a fight he held on to win just because of a KD.

                  The double standards are hilarious.
