I had Taylor edging the win pre-fight; figured Lopez would get careless. Boy, I was wrong. Lopez looked really good while Taylor looked like a deer in headlights.
I have never been so wrong in my life.
Lopez won this but where the hell is the Josh Taylor we've seen in the past????
He realised that Teo was walking through everything. Taylor had no power, and you could see it was concerning him, and you could even see his fear from round 8 onwards. His mental resilience has been shown up. Same with Catterall, he had no plan B.
Honestly no. I thought Teo was getting way too overrated for the victory over Loma, but if he can shut Taylor down like this, I think I was wrong about that. That was impressive. He did whatever he wanted in there for most of the fight.
