Round-by-Round: Josh Taylor vs. Ekow Essuman | DAZN - 24 May 2025

[NoScoutingReports]

Essuman won that in my opinion. Really solid second half of the fight, took over completely.

[skanksta]

Ekow surely wins...

Taylor looked as good as ever early, but got cut, gassed and said to his corner "I haven't got much left" around about 7 ish ?

Ekow sweeps 5 of the last 6, maybe more.
Let's see....

[Ruthless-RKO]

It’s in Scotland..
hmm

Catterall got jobbed here.

[KiwiRider]

Brilliant fight , one of the best I've seen for a while .
Echo for me .

Made up for last night eh?

[Sweet Dick Willie]

There were some closish rounds but in the end not too difficult to score for me. I have it 117-111 for Essuman.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Why does smith talk too much.

Can Frampton not be a full time commentator?

[keithmoonhangover]

I had Taylor winning by a round..... optimistically.

[MightyWarrior]

Queensbury have ended Taylor’s career at 147 before it even got started

Who should they have got for Taylor?

Just think after all those heroic wars, for his homecoming fight they should’ve got him one that he could have looked good in for the fans as a 147 launch, instead of an iron chinned punching machine called the engine .. and 12 rounds at a new weight to boot,

Anyway, Doesn’t even matter what the scores are

[Ruthless-RKO]

Great!

Smith is gonna commentate the Usyk-Dubois fight

[samwbr]

Great win.

[KiwiRider]

It’s in Scotland..
hmm

Catterall got jobbed here.

As soon as you posted Taylor signing a multi fight deal with Queensbury, I thought huge mistake.

Made up for last night eh?

Absolutely mate , was a barn burner by comparison.

[skanksta]

Close but clear UD.

Josh Taylor reached the absolute top, but it's just not there anymore.
GREAT career

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ha! Whilst they were reading the cards. Taylor made a face as if he won..

Then his name doesn’t get read out and he’s like eh what?

Like did he really think he won that?

[KiwiRider]

Yes!!
Thank goodness it wasn't an A side decision

[NoScoutingReports]

Deserved winner! Fair play to Essuman

[Ruthless-RKO]

Close but clear UD.

Josh Taylor reached the absolute top, but it's just not there anymore.
GREAT career

Glad it was unanimous!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Catterall got jobbed here.

As soon as you posted Taylor signing a multi fight deal with Queensbury, I thought huge mistake.

Maybe there is a clause in case he loses.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Essuman has been around for ages.

He gonna get a world title fight?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ha!!

Josh Taylor has left the building.

Why’s he being sour grapes.

[KiwiRider]

WTF are Queensbury going to do with Taylor now?
It was a big money deal and this is his opener?

[rd350lc]

Wow when the judges read out score cards and official had belt behind JT thought they were gonna give it to him

He looked really bemused .

Clearly lost , no future at the weight at higher level.
His punches didn't seem to have any effect on Essuman and some of them were clean early on .
