I've been impressed with Taylor's versatility throughout the tourney..

Regardless of what happens in the final, it's pretty apparent he's going to have to move up to 147 in the near future and a Crawford vs Taylor showdown intrigues me quite a bit. So Bob might have found his next big fight for Crawford outside of the PBC stable.

On a side note the difference in height wasn't nearly as much as I thought it would be watching Regis and Taylor face off, it seems he's a bit bigger than Baranchyk

high level boxing - B-chick is no joke, guy has serious stamina and good power, great chin and creates angles but struggles with hand speed (as do most fighters).

Taylor has a very slick attack but he shipped a lot this fight - anyone else see he has his chin hanging out instead of tucked in? Sure, his head movement and reflexes allow him to avoid a lot of punches but against an opponent a notch above B-chick's level eg. Prograis that is an accident waiting to happen.

This tournament rocks and WBSS leads the way in competitive match ups.

Baranchyk has not defense , is slow and predectible and does know how to cut the ring

He is very strong

I thought Taylor won pretty wide tbh

118-108 or 117-109 seemed about right
