Comments Thread For: Taylor: An Absolute Disgrace Fight Would've Been A Draw If I Hadn't Knocked Ramirez Down

[-Kev-]

There’s 12 rounds in a championship fight.

Fans and Taylor himself are putting way too much stock on the rounds he dominated and ignoring the rest. Especially ignoring that he gave away rounds 8, 9, 11, 12.

After the 8th round he took his foot off the gas and fought how he did in rounds 2-5, trying to clip him here and there.
should have put his foot down and finish the job like he would have done previously. This is boxercise Ben’s influence as Shane McGuigan is a lot more aggressive

I usually root for the British guy, but I don't know why Taylor is complaining so much. I thought Ramirez won 2, 3, 4, and you could make a case for 3 of the last four as well. If not for the knockdowns a draw would have been a fair result....no robbery here.

Great fight from both guys.

Make a stand. Don't fight in Vegas.

114-112 was the right score. Ramirez won seven rounds. Taylor won five. The rounds Taylor won were 1, 4, 6, 7, 8. Ramirez clearly swept the final four rounds. Taylor is yammering endlessly about nothing. He's an incredibly insufferable dude. I pray Bob feeds him to Crawford next.

I was a little disappointed in JT. He had Ramirez down twice and decided to coast to the decision. He made himself look bad by holding and moving too much, instead of standing his ground and fighting more, which is what brought him success. Kenny bayless is a poor referee and needs to retire, in saying that Taylor shouldv stayed in the neutral corner.

The right guy won at the end of the day. The scores weren’t outta wack with the way Taylor took his foot off the gas. His timing and counter punching was definitely the more effective aggression.

All I can say is this, Taylor has got be the worst " 4 belt " champ I ever seen . And I was rooting for Taylor. I don't see anything special about this guy at all. Pacquiao in his prime at 140 would've demolished this dude. Aaron Pryor, Duran if he wouldn't of skipped 140. There's a ton of 140's that would demolish him. If I'm Teofimo, I'm all over this fight. The talk of him going to face a 147 champ in Crawford? Seriously, he'll get wacked. Way out of his league. About the scoring, yea Taylor, if ya didn't knock him down 2x , I had ya losing.

Taylor you won the fight, now stfu. Yes you won clearly but from an unbias onlooker you won clearly BECAUSE of the knocked. Yes if you hadn’t knocked him down twice the fight would have been a draw and a legit no controversial draw either.

Round for round it was either 6-6 or 7-5 Taylor. Any scores giving Taylor more rounds is straight up bias.

It was very fair and great scoring by the judges.

One more thing , is Kenny Bayless smoking crack before he enters the ring ? My god. He looks petrified out there. And what the hell is he doing always touching the boxers arms like they are covered in toxic chemicals ? Then bringing his own hands back and up with his eyes wide open like he just seen someone shoot his grandmother. This guy needs to hang them up. He's an embarrassment to the sport of boxing.
