Taylor looked phenomenonal in the fight. It seemed like he couldn't miss at times.

His body punching from the off was brilliant and he was slowly but surely bringing the high guard down. Thought the punch that led to stoppage was behind the ear, but surely you have to account that Martin may have been turning.

I thought after the 3/4 round that he was gonna give up on the stool.

Taylor is going to be hard to beat

It's 7 pounds, but at his age and how body adjusts, he must not have been that easy, he looked good. He probably will have more power agaisnt the guys at Bantamweight. Speed looked okay too.
It's not like he was getting outclassed by Burnett. He actually landed quite a few good shots. Burnett didn't look like he had much power in what he was landing. With Donaire, you always feel like he's one punch away. He had Frampton stunned on a couple of occasions. The way Burnett had his hands down and was getting hit a bit, I wouldn't have been surprised to see him get done anyway. I don't think tete is going to have it easy with Donaire either. And how is Tetes chin? He's been stopped himself and stinks out joints. Once again I'll back Donaire to get the KO and cheer him on vs another stinker. Ironically the way to beat Donaire is bully him. He absolutely hates being bullied and reacts badly to it

Burnett hurt Donaire with a right hand in about the 3rd or 4th

I wouldn't say Donaire was hurt at all. I this k you're talking about a short uppercut that Ron ejaculated upon seeing. Burnett looked more bothered by Donaires shots than Dpmaire looks by his. Donaire was more aggressive than usual in there.

This was a great watch. Cheers.

I was at the fight but it was good to see it from a camera perspective.

I could be biased slightly but I think Taylor looks like he might just be the best Scottish fighter since Ken Buchanan.

He hasn't reached the levels Burns has yet, early days.

I rate burns but I think Taylor will prove to be better than burns in good time
