TTT clearly ahead, but he's slowed and Ekow is of course "The Engine"

It's a bad sign. But for us it's a close competitive fight

He should not be struggling with a faded domestic ex champ.
Ekow is a bit more than that.

He’s lost a step. This is going to be a brutal test for Taylor.. far harder than it needed to be from his new promoters I think.

I believe this is #1 of a #3 fight deal.
If Ekow was the same age as Taylor tonight, he would have easily out worked him

He more or less is. I mean he's 36 to Taylor's 34, and obviously hasn't had the wear Taylor has.

Essuman has by far the better attitude to the fight and just won't back down but Taylor doing the cleaner work for me.
Very, very close.

They probably wanted to see what he had left. He's not a 147 fighter.

I haven't kept a round by round score here, but it feels like Essuman is winning this fight. He's won the last few rounds clearly, and Taylor looks out of gas, and struggling.

Is Taylor just too small for 147? Or just finished?

I mean credit to them all.

He didn’t need to fight Essuman. But I’m glad he did.

Good fight for Essuman as well. Good win for him if he gets it.

Sounds like two bald men fighting over a comb... :lol:
:shame: I've got a Richard Torrez Jnr style. My hair's that thick, it's break the comb.
You better be rocking a strong mustache with that Keef! :yay:
I'm not much of a 'stache man TBF. Sorry, Kiwi. :verysad:
