    Taylor is from Bray, Rep. Ireland, she's not from the United Kingdom.

      I think she left her best days in the amateurs. I remember watching her at London 2012 and she looked a level above.

      I don’t really follow women’s pro boxing, I’ve seen her once or twice. Thought she lost to that Persoon tbh.
      I follow women's boxing. McCaskill is my girl too. Rematch would be nice.

        I hope Kambosos scores an upset over Teo the bich fimo.
        Saying hes the best in the division then fighting an Australian nobody really knows, well i hope George ***s him up tbh.

          Funny how 2 of them still won too:

          Barrett vs Martinez
          Ritson vs Vazquez

          I'd never heard of Jordan Gill but I watched Cordina vs Tinoco and quite like what I saw from Joe.

          He has a fight coming up March 20th TBA too so looking forward to that one.
          Top rank had Teo scoring an upset.

            Thank you. Another guy told me that too a while back.

            I never really paid attention to her origin. I always saw her on UK cards and how they talk of her as one of their own, so I assumed. I don't even care where she's from.

            Great boxer.

              I'd be smiling if that happens.

                It’s Fury and Taylor. They are our only two elite fighters. The rest are a level below.

                There’s a young Irish fighter called Paddy Donovan coming through atm as well. I have high expectations for him.
                Sorry, bro, maybe I misunderstood. Did you mean Josh Taylor? If so, no. He'll be the next busted hype. I'm zero sold on Josh Taylor. Not necessarily by Ramirez. Prograis? Nah.

                  Yeah Josh Taylor.

                  You think? I completely disagree man.

                  Were you not impressed vs Prograis?

                  I think he’ll beat Ramirez easily tbh.

                    Promoters can’t win. Now they’re getting criticised for putting on fights that are actually decent.

                    What do you actually want? Should name fighters fight no-hoper journeymen only until a title fight comes around?

                    These are human beings, not robots. If we knew the outcome of every fight then there would be no point watching. Boxing is great because of the upset potential, one punch can change a whole fight and a fighters life.

                      That one only happened because Miller blew it and Kownacki , Whyte and Ortiz were cowards.
