Nice, was starting to think it wouldn't get made

I love a good battle between top prospects. Great for their development and they can always rematch down the line for even more money if things pan out

I'm so happy right now, well done Eddie Hearn & Barry McGuigan for getting business done.

Barry must have put up the paper. Massive chance for Ohara, kudos to him for fighting in Taylor's backyard. Any thoughts on the outcome of the fight?.

I think OD has more experience. Slight favourite for me. But I like both guys.

Id go the opposite, think Taylors more skillful, give him the edge. But yeah, like them both, wouldnt be dissappointed either way, wont effect either much, a loss, I doubt

Think OD may have a slight power edge, but taylor might be a little bigger. I like OD's patience in the ring. Afraid it might come 2-3 fights too early for JT, but let's see. Glad this fight's been made!
