Round-by-Round: Josh Taylor vs. Apinun Khongsong - 26 September 2020

[skanksta]

Impressed with Williams' effort, but he's 7-2 down.
Could be closer.

[Ricky]

Edwards isn't world level.

[Neil Gee]

Edwards isn't world level.

Definitely not. This is not a world class opponent but Edwards is struggling as the rounds go on.

[Boxing Prospect]

Poor Edwards, he's in hell at 115/118, and can't really go back to 112

[milpool]

Edwards too easy to hit, Williams was game but a bit crude at times.
Good workout for Williams though but he’ll need to improve if he has any designs on winning another world title.

[MightyWarrior]

Frampton brilliant pundit

[MightyWarrior]

So surreal, first big fight I’ve watched post lockdown ..Thai looks HUGE

[Neil Gee]

Well done to Taylor for being the first World Champion to agree to defend his title since covid. (I think I've got that right lol).

[MightyWarrior]

This guy looks a puncher dangerous

[Cholo_cws]

Come on Woodhall. Regarding Catterall, you're better than that.

[MightyWarrior]

Frickin hell ha ha ha

[MightyWarrior]

He was throwing some dangerous looking punches then bang perfect body shot, good night sweet prince.

Rawlings Uncomprehending as usual

[skanksta]

Thought the Thai had taken a dive, but that was a perfect bodyshot.

[Neil Gee]

Oh dear

[Kilburn]

I don’t know why Rawlings was having a hard time digesting that finishing shot.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Thought the Thai had taken a dive, but that was a perfect bodyshot.

I thought so too but it looked a decent shot.

[rd350lc]

Ok it was a decent bodyshot , but really .....

[handsofstone]

That was a beauty of a body shot, left hand on the inside, cant remember seeing someone on the canvas as long as Khongsong from a shot downstairs, I actually thought Khongsong started off quite well, he was massive in comparison to Taylor his back was gigantic, thought it might be a tricky night, Taylor pulled out one of the top drawer, bit of a shocker that, Khongsong looks effed still

[blanca]

David Haye is the last one to call out someone who is hurt after toegate, shut it yer tool

[Kilburn]

Frampton not convinced lol.

Did they produce that pillow from the guys suitcase?

[skanksta]

That was a genuine nasty Taylor Bodyshot, but the shenanigans afterwards was silly !

Also..,
WHAT a trainer Ben Davison is !

[Neil Gee]

Just goes to show the statistics didn't lie to us this time, Khongsong looked cooly confident but self belief is no substitute for world class experience. It just looked like a feeling out opener they exchange near the ropes and Taylor lands a cruel body shot that has Khongsong on the floor for five minutes. F*cking hell.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Ok it was a decent bodyshot , but really .....

He deserves an Oscar for all the rolling about. Strange ending as he actually had a good round til that point.

[Cholo_cws]

I doubt the Thai's fought anyone in the top 100 yet he's IBF no.1. The pundits are doing their best to big him up - they're tough in Thailand, he looks big, he's unbeaten. Nothing about his opponents or where he really ranks. Embarrassing. Fair play to Taylor for taking care of business.

[handsofstone]

I know it looked OTT but surely Khongsong wouldnt overreact to that extreme, looked in genuine distress, maybe a broken rib and struggling to breathe, or maybe he ruptured something
