Taylor not having it all her own way, great to see Sanchez go for this, making it into a really good fight

More action in one 2 minute round of this fight than there was in the whole Yafai/Ishida fight

not enjoying this Taylor fight. She hasnt come to win, it was obvious at the weigh in ,the look of a fight has never been on her face, Taylor just using her as a punch bag. I can see why some blokes here dont like watching female boxing. Its not a fight this really.

Gotta disagree mate, this is fight of the night for me, that doesn't say much mind but Sanchez's toughness is impressive but not as impressive as Taylor is, she looks tiny compared to Sanchezmimmy123 wrote:not enjoying this Taylor fight.

you might be right fella, Theres just something im not keen on in this fight. Ive quite like Taylor otherwise but this one isnt floating my boat.handsofstone wrote:Gotta disagree mate, this is fight of the night for me, that doesn't say much mind but Sanchez's toughness is impressive but not as impressive as Taylor is, she looks tiny compared to Sanchezmimmy123 wrote:not enjoying this Taylor fight.

Think that's the first women's fight I've ever quite enjoyed

I think she came to not get KO'ed - looks like she bulked up.
Other thoughts, KT T is quite pretty but very unsexy. Sanchez ain't that pretty but is a total fox.

Please tell me people in the UK are using "sucks" now. I thought hearing "awesome" was bad enough when I was back visiting in August.handsofstone wrote:What did you think of Yafai/Ishida?Vincent stevenson wrote:Womens boxing suckshandsofstone wrote: Gotta disagree mate, this is fight of the night for me, that doesn't say much mind but Sanchez's toughness is impressive but not as impressive as Taylor is, she looks tiny compared to Sanchez

Why do they always call her by her full name? Would Katie not suffice?
Re: Round-By-Round - Anthony Joshua (c) vs. Carlos Takam - October 28th 2017
Very impressive show of toughness and skill from Taylor.

The score card told me the story. Sanchez didnt come to win. Not sure her purse for tonight but im thinking that was the important part. Ive seen a few photos of Sanchez and she didnt look 'healthy'. I'm not sure, but i didnt enjoy tha tone. Something wasnt right imo.
Re: Round-By-Round - Anthony Joshua (c) vs. Carlos Takam - October 28th 2017
Taylor always sounds like she's talking through a faulty megaphone.
Re: Round-By-Round - Anthony Joshua (c) vs. Carlos Takam - October 28th 2017
For someone who didn't come to win she put up a good effort. Firing back time after time after getting tagged.mimmy123 wrote:The score card told me the story. Sanchez didnt come to win.

Re: Round-By-Round - Anthony Joshua (c) vs. Carlos Takam - October 28th 2017
Yea not sure how fit she was but Naturally hard head and coming forward with a bit of weight on her punches. She was a threat in there, Katie could have unravelled...but didn’t.mimmy123 wrote:The score card told me the story. Sanchez didnt come to win.

Ive been a fan of KT infact dont mind womens boxing. I just didnt enjoy it. I saw a weigh in photo and Sanchez didnt have the look of a healthy woman. I just dont know, theres something thats bothering me. Its just me.Taansend wrote:For someone who didn't come to win she put up a good effort.

Think the Argentinian made it a decent fight by firing back - a lot less one-sided than other women's bouts I've seen. Not necessarily saying she was competitive in terms of having a chance to win but equally I didn't feel like she was in any particular danger or looked unwell. It was decent and I never think that usually about women's fights.

Helenius looks a little gunshy.
