Why?
Terrible idea.

Taylor should win, but Vazquez could make for a real **** fight

Good learning fight for Josh, Vasquez will spoil and make him look bad

Interesting fight. Like how they are moving Josh up the ladder. If he wins this fight he's potentially ready for a title shot in his next fight or two one would think.

Titere will make look bad and miss 90% of his punches bit on the green side vasquez has taken several 0s but prob get robbed by dec.

Funny how the brits really think taylor will beat Vazquez. They're failing to realize that Vazquez has only legitimately lost twice to canelo and once to tim bradley, his other two defeats were nasty robberies. On the other hand taylor has very little experience and his best win is against davis who was never impressive to us Americans. Vazquez will definitely beat this boy and embarrass him in his own backyard and possibly even score a late round stoppage even though he's not a big puncher.

I think Vazquez has cooled down a bit in recent years. Argenis Mendez beat him & idk if he's all that + he had a close-ish win vs Erick Bone. The Bone fight was his last fight of any consequence & that was a year & a half ago. Plus all his best W's were at 135. And that Bone W might be his best win at 140 or more.

I like Taylor here, but yea Vazquez is another big jump up in class, but after Taylor's success vs Ohara I don't think its a jump too far or at least its not a clear jump to far based on Taylor's trajectory + what we've seen & Vazquez's trajectory & what we've seen with him as of late.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Thats just how boxing works. If Taylor is as hyped he'll win, if he isn't or isn't ready for this jump he won't. Simple sh^t. A L don't kill anyone chances at future success if they keep learning + improving.

Risky match-making. I'm relatively confident Taylor can win, but not sure he can make it entertaining. It sort of screams "box office poison" like when they announced Monroe Jr as Saunders' opponent

Taylor fighting a good champion hear 8 defenses or sutton he had didnt he massive step up from ohara davies hes a talented boy josh but 10 fights in fighting a seasoned former champ whos only 30 could be a step up to far
