WBSS Super Lightweight (1/2 Final): Josh Taylor vs. Ivan Baranchyk - TBA

[Ruthless-RKO]

Kalle Sauerland has announced the fight would likely take place in Scotland, Russia or USA.

Fight will be for Baranchyk’s newly won IBF world title.

Who wins this cracking semi final?

taylor has more tools and should win but id expect baranchyk to put up a much better fight then martin, wouldnt be surprised if he marked taylor up

[DrDuke]

It can turn out to be a good, eventful scrap. I guess, it will be an even bout early, but Taylor will take a later part of it. Either decision or late stoppage for him.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I don’t think they doing double headers for the semi’s. Maybe they should for a couple.

This fight would sell good at the Hydro.

Taylor’s first world title shot. Will have a massive crowd.

Fancy Taylor to take a close decision.

Josh has a bit of height and reach over Ivan, he needs to use that to keep the hard hitting Russian at bay. This is not a fight Taylor can switch off for even a second.
At 25, Baranchyk is peaking, it's going to take a more careful approach than the Postol fight for Taylor to get through this guy.
I put Josh as a favourite for this fight like most people, though Baranchyk does have a puncher's chance here.

Baranchyk is a bull but Yigit landed plenty,

Ivan shows up super fit and at 25, I don't think we can expect him to fade unless Josh hammers his body. Ivan will be risky for 12 rounds. Ygit didn't even bother him when he landed some good shots, dude is a bit of a beast.
