Damn, I'm surprised they actually granted Taylor request. Smart move. Loma should take note for next time.

Loma tried before the fight to have Moretti removed, and Vegas declined to do that. Not hard to read between the lines.

Taylor says they tried to job him in the Ramirez fight, but he was on the side to benefit against Catterall.

Teddy Atlas asked, does Top Rank prefer one of the guys to win, or are they neutral for this fight. He said they probably favour Taylor, after Lopez dissed them a fair amount.

Hope teofimo knocks this clown out, sick of these crying whinging UK sissies.

Just remembered that. They would've asked the same way taylor did at least to avoid having all 3 american judges and not just to remove one single individual in moretti, probably thats why it got rejected. It just doesn't look good.

Why, as Champion, would you agree to fight a Brooklyn kid in NYC, in the 1st place?

Teo refused to travel like many Americans. Taylor accepted to go to Teo instead.

This fight is struggling to sell tickets in the small arena. It should have taken place at the O2 in England. That would have sold 20,000.

I get what hes saying but UK jusges arent any better or worse tbh

We have neutrals in the UK. No one comes close to the corruption in the US. In fact, i can find more robberies in just the US than you could with the whole world combined. That's how bad it is.

That Catterall robbery was a TopRank card. Arum had his dirty mitts all over that. The ones he wants to win always win on his promotion. Always.

I thought it wasn't going to go past 8 anyways? Where's all the bravado about how he's got tons of holes in his game and you're going to knock him out?

Many fighters claim they'll win by stoppage but it goes to distance. To not have a say in the judges when it's in the US is insane. When it's two Americans, have an all American judging panel. But when it includes a fighter from overseas, the judges need to be neutral. We know what happens when you fight an American in the US and win wide. You can still lose on their cards. Why anyone goes there is beyond me. It's a corrupt hell hole.

Atlas doesn't know anything. Arum tried to set Taylor up for the Ramirez fight with him only having 1 round of action in 19 months. He then loaded the judges and ref to protect Ramirez. I had Taylor winning 10 of the 12 rounds. Now he's been out for 16 months, struggling to lose weight and coming from a loss. Teo has been active. It's clear Arum wants Teo to win. He has all the advantages. Arum will make sure this time to steal Taylor's title. No doubt about it. Just look at all the corruption going on week after week. It's insane.

Nobody cries like Americans. And those "Sissies" own you in every way. You do nothing but lose to Brits all the time. What wins you do have are over shot or horribly inactive fighters. There's always the cowardly advantage you have to have. You can't fight and win on a level playing field. You're not good enough.
