Regardless of what the judges said, I had him beating Postol by 114 - 113, 6 rounds a piece with Vik losing a point for the KD which swung it for Josh. So far he's improving by the fight but if he plateaus slightly for the WBSS then he won't be winning anything. Ryan Martin is quite a handy fighter and Josh will need to improve still further on his Postol showing, imo. My money would be on a late Taylor stoppage with his high workrate sapping Martin.

It'd be weird if he wasn't confident.

Anyone seen the odds for a Taylor-Prograis final? They have to get there of course, but that's what's looking most likely to me.

He was in a debatable with Postol, tough fight. But he's a favorite imo.
