Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Drops, Stops Ohara Davies in Seven Rounds

[DJ Enerate]

lets see what happens bro, just my thoughts on it, im no expert on taylor just seen a few rounds and clips.

Anything can happen in boxing but Taylor definitely looks the technically superior and more talented of the two as well as being naturally bigger. I actually think Taylor might stop Davies. My only worry for Taylor in this fight is his chin. It's not been tested yet so he might be packing glass. OD has good power and throws from awkward angles so he's dangerous.

neither guy has impressed tbh but Davies is better and looks to be considerably so

Taylors beat Jeff Horn, hes better than Pacquiao

Basic? Taylor is one of the most talented prospects in boxing, he's far more skilled than Ohara.

Davies carries more one punch power tho and could end the fight at any moment, which is why it's such a great 50/50 fight, can't pick a winner atm, slightly edging towards Taylor.

Its a close fight for sure. I don't understand anyone being too in favor of either guy unless they are fanboying a lil bit or just know one guy more then the other.

As far as your break down goes I disagree & am almost feeling the exact opposite about things. I think Ohara is more naturally skilled (although I'd agree Taylor is more technically sound with all his amateur experience + more hours in the gym than Davies) & has angles Taylor will never be able to present to opponents + I think Taylor is the more powerful fighter here. Granted Taylor has the inferior pro resume so he's supposed to be KOing the guys he's KOing so I understand if people aren't too impressed with his power considering that expectation. I just think he'll be KOing guys he shouldn't necessarily be KOing or that other guys aren't KOing in the future based on what I've seen.

The main thing I see is Taylor seems to get hit flush more than I like to see vs these inferior opponents he's been fighting. No one has been able to do anything with that, but they are inferior opposition so who's expecting them to. I think Davies is a much superior opponent than anything Taylor has seen in the pro game & is gonna be hitting Taylor a lot in this fight early scoring points & winning rounds.

The main way Taylor wins is if he's able to withstand those punches early & not get cut up or too ****** up or gas out & come on later in the fight &/or hurt Davies. Otherwise I think its a Davies W12 with the scores being relatively close, 8-4ish, 7-5ish & maybe even a majority or split decision.

I will say I do see a chance that there is a size advantage for Taylor here as someone mentioned that could have an impact on this fight although I feel like its unlikely to + I think Taylor might start quicker then Davies so Davies scoring points & winning rounds may not happen out of the gate, but could be pushed back til the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rounds when things go his way more than not for the duration of the fight.

I'm waiting to see how Taylor reacts to Ohara's power but TBH I'm favouring the Scot in this one - I'm just seeing him as the more polished fighter despite his lack of pro experience.

Taylor by late TKO.
