Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor vs. Viktor Postol - LIVE BoxingScene Scorecard

Yeah man, no agenda

Just describes what's going on perfectly, and when the action kicks in he steps up his game, gives both guys equal praise for punches landed etc I wish this guy was commentating on every fight.... get Alex Arthur out of there though.

❓🏆 Barry McGuigan was non-committal on whether Josh Taylor will enter the World Boxing Super Series at the post-fight presser last night. Said they’re keeping options open, but want to fight WBC champion Jose Ramirez (who isn’t going into the tournament) next.

... do you think that Arum will deliver Ramirez to Josh right now?...

Same as mine, maybe I overestimated Taylor or underestimated Postol based on his last fight, but that was a very close fight for my money.

Still... damn impressive for Taylor given his relative lack of pro experience. There were definitely points when Josh was feeling the strain of dealing with a world class veteran and I almost expected him to fold once or twice. This experience will stand him in great stead going forward.

... I thought that Postol would win, but not in Glasgow...

Cheers mate.... rewatching the fight now, it's amazing what a good commentator does to a fight.

I think Al Bernstein works for Showtime, therefore he had no dog in the fight...

It's not totally about how bias other commentators are. I just found his analysis and description of what was going on to be on-point.... really great commentary, and perfect to watch a fight to.

Even his post-fight stuff was great, really knows his stuff.

The Taylor up to round 8 isn't ready for Prograis, no way. The Taylor of 9 - 12 is still two or three fights away from being a peak or nearly peak Taylor that could give Regis a good test. I hope they don't get carried away and think he's ready now - coz he ain't. He's developing super fast but he still looks a little green.

That sounds right like I said 3rd, 8th,and 11th were swing rounds.

After 8 rounds I had Vik 6 - 2 up, and on my card Josh needed 9 - 12 plus a knockdown and hey presto! he delivers the goods. Had that been in Ukraine, it could easily have went against JT. He's not the finished article quite yet, imo. Still a good 3 fights away from that if he improves some more. We'll see.
