This is still a great card IMO though... if you live locally you could likely just turn up on the day and get in for free.

Lol my friends are all casuals, to the point that I'm having to send them youtube videos (highlights, interviews etc) to get them hyped for what will be fight of the year, I'm sure of it! Mind you, I'm not exactly fighting fit so people would look at me and think casual - haha!
Might just have to show up on the night at Bham Arena, see if I can get in cheap.

And yeah Taylor’s fans are nuts, one of the best atmosphere’s I’ve seen in recent memory was when he fought Ohara Davies at the Braehead. I expect a good few hundred will travel down.
How do you see it going? I’m planning to put a lot of money on Taylor. Never been convinced with Prograis tbh, I don’t get the hype, Taylor’s wins over Postol and Baranchyk are far better than anything on his resume IMO.

I like Regis a bit more than Taylor too. Don't care about supporting the Brit.
I think Relikh is an underrated win - arguably undefeated going in to the fight and Regis took him apart without much difficulty. He starched Indongo, who also had big size advantage and dominated Flanagan. I think their resumes are pretty even, impressive considering Taylor has had 9 less fights and 2 years younger.

Originally posted by £-4-£ View PostIt's a 50/50 - Taylor has physical advantages and a bit more slick, but Progress has the edge in hand speed and probably punching power. Both can box too. Honestly I can't pick a winner, but it will warm up in to a war and be a strong FOTY contender.

I just feel Taylor is the better fighter based their amateur pedigree, professional careers, opponents etc.
That’s what makes it a great fight though. It divides opinion...
Spot on about not having to back the Brit’s as well mate, I hate this media driven nonsense that you have to support the British fighter.
