I know what you mean. I wanted it now because I'm a believer in striking while the irons hot especially in boxing. If it's a good contest which I think it will be then they'll no doubt meet again somewhere down the line.

Unless everyone is just overhyping both of em to fukk :lol:

I'm glad its happening because both camps were saying the other guy didn't want the fight so I'm glad both camps where wrong.

the main reason i would have preferred it later is the chance it could be a proper war with skills going out the window and that has all sorts of ramifications down the road. i always remember arthur never being the same after the gomez fight,not saying that will happen to either here, but i like both of them and hope to see both them fighting at world level in the future.

wow,that didn't last long, big daniel really is a proper banger.

Yes Davies in his only fight against a decent opponent was very one paced and didn't throw any combinations at all against a basic fighter. If he had come out and said he had broken his right hand I would understand but to my knowledge he didn't.

At the moment I don't rate Davies at all but if he wins is I will give him credit.

I guess will see when they face off who is the quicker handed fighter. Will be interesting.

I think the timing of the fight helps O'Hara. IMO, he's got a better chance now than in 5+ fights time once Taylor has a few 12 rounders under his belt.

I still think Josh will have too much for Davies. Taylor by UD.

Really good fight.

Rare you see two prospects touted for world honours fight before either have even challenged for British titles or above.

I'm high on Davies, but higher on Taylor. I see Taylor winning a close Points decision. Got a feeling it will be cagey.

I'd agree with that. Taylor is pretty damn quick. Davies looks the type that will be happy waiting for however long for Taylor to commit so it's gonna be up to Josh to get in and out and probably force the action. Hopefully he doesn't get too comfortable or over eager. I fancy Taylor to win but it's going to need to be a flawless performance and he's going to need to be switched on for the full fight.

What a prick! I'm glad it's on 5 so we don't need to listen to the bias Sky pish from the usual suspects. I'm a Taylor fan so that would make my teeth itch!
