He has shown he can go 12 rounds against a very good fighter

Originally posted by S7V7N View PostAppreciate the honesty & fair scoring. I also had it even through 8 but Taylor picked up the pace & sealed it with that KD in a fight that should have been scored 116-111 on the outside.
Taylor killed him with counters, inside & on the breaks. Postol kept him at distance pretty well throughout but couldn't pull the trigger with that right enough. Good work to the body though, a decent jab & left uppercut that snapped his head back more than a few times.
Really impressed with how Taylor handled the championship rounds by just going for it, had never been through 10 before I don't believe, let alone 12. Added pressure paid off with that KD & forced Postol to fight more defensively the next couple rounds. Seemed to be the difference in the fight even though the judges had it wider than should of been. All in all, great action & very entertaining bout. Looking forward to seeing both again actually. Taylor passed the giant step up in comp with relative ease.
It was great to see going into the championship rounds and looking stronger as the fight progressed. It should be WBSS next or Ramirez for the WBC. Saying that I think Ramirez has an optional defence so maybe a keep busy fight

The best fight of the weekend and Taylor deserved a Unanimous decision but it was closer than the judges cards reflected.

Ramirez absolutely smashes postol in sparring... Ramirez has far more tools is much stronger, has a chin of granite and fights much more aggressively then postol does
