    Ohara Davies vs Josh Taylor

    Who'd you have winning this?

    Ohara 15-0 (12 ko's)
    Taylor 10-0 (9 ko's)

    Both young prospects, personally I'm split, but if pushed I would pick Ohara because that sort of arrogant kunt seems to win

    Taylor is a lot more talented technically, way better skills. But haven't see either guys heart or will tested. But still, I'm picking Taylor in clear fashion.

      Cant see Davies knocking Taylor out so Taylor being the home fighter probably gets a dodgy decision in this one

        I hope you boys are right, Taylor does have good skills and power so hopefully he wins, Ohara comes off as Broner v2

          Exactly my thoughts, Ohara has exactly the same wide, flat footed stance as AB and is skilled with power, I don't think he would handle movement that well.

          But the hype is strong, so beware!

            I think this will be a great fight,I would have gone but bought tickets to Saunders Vs Khurtsidze before the fight was announced. Davis has extremely long arms so if he applies his jab it could be a tough night for Taylor. But it is 50/50 imo.

              Has the under card been announced for the Saunders fight yet?

                So you you think he Taylor is gonna run for 12 rounds, first time I saw Taylor thought he look good when he went to the states he was exposed even though he won Ohara gonna beat him up

                  Davies is clearly the better fighter but Taylor is big for a modern welter and can hit somewhat hard. Thing is, neither guy is that impressive and both look way too robotic each time i've seen them. The fact that they're both in their mid 20s and still prospect levels does not bode well either.

                  Whoever wins will go onto be embarassed at the world level.

                    I just watched the presser for this fight this morning. Ohara owned it by being reasonable lol. Josh was outta character & Barry was like you wanna try a lil harder Ohara. I'm sure Eddie threw Ohara $50k or something to keep it calm so Ohara can sell Eddie's next show vs building up a competitor.
