      Bad night yes, just like Teofimo had a bad night vs Kambosos. With all the chaos, you never know how Teofimo will be in his next fight. Taylor can still do ok at 140 but is not the top dog. Tank vs Teofimo would be good--Tank might prevail if Teo is not sharp that night.

        He got soundly beat by a guy that came from 135. Delusional but if that what it takes for him to try another run he has to tell that to himself.

        I thought Taylor was going up to 147? Finally he can get that Bud fight.

            Taylor’s become quite delusional. He hasn’t taken defeat well. He’s got no business fighting at 140, he’s dead at the weight. Move to 147 and look to rebuild your career.

              Prograis is probably going to knock Haney out, but that's not putting down Devin. I just don't believe that he can't take that kind of power well. Even though he beat Loma, he still was visibly stunned in one round by Loma's light punching flurries. If he takes those type of punches from Regis, he will need smelling salts to wake up.

              Taylor is just talking in between shots of whiskey with Connor and straws of booger sugar with Fury. If he fights Matias or Prograis at 140, that might be his curtain call, because both would do him major harm at this point.

                Prograis is far too slow (hands and feet) to contend with Haney. He looked bad enough punching air against Zorilla, but Haney is going to erase the last bits of delusion from those fans who still think Prograis is some kind of world beater badass.

                  He doesn't hold 140 anymore but judging by his recent outings he'll be a sitting duck at 147 , but good luck to the lad , he badly needs something!
