      119, 118; scores were absolute disrespect for Postol. He lost 115 but never like the way judges saw it.
      Great fight.

        Ridiculous scoring. That was a close, high quality fight. I don't have a problem with taylor winning but it was 2 or 3 rounds maximum.

              Great fight bad cards.

              That overland left by Taylor is the sort shot that gets you off
              your seat. He will lay people out with that even at this level. I really thought he was gonna knock Postol out cold in the last few rounds.

              Postol was great there. Those cards discredit all his hard work.

                  In reality the fight was 7 rounds to 5 114-113 for postol but UK boxing doesn’t score for reality they score what the money brings. They could of atleast did 115-112 for Taylor that would of been believable but no cards were pre written like always.

                    To be fair it’s always the way but you still want visiting fighters to get credit. But it’s not like Postol had an argument of being the winner unless you are bit bias toward him.

                    Lovely fight though.

                    Needed after some of the crap we’ve seen. Especially from pound for pound fighters
