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

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....

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

Why does smith talk too much.
Can Frampton not be a full time commentator?

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

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

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

Maybe there is a clause in case he loses.

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

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 .
