Think Prog wins too. Though if I'm looking at possible win for Josh, Prog may be a bit one paced and maybe Josh can up the level to a point where Prog is just falling behind it

I really hope this crap about weight issues is bollocks.
None of us want either fighter drained. This has the potential to be FOTY.

Based on today's footage I'd say Josh would be the one struggling to make weight. He looked a bit drawn and pale and there's still another day to the weigh in.

I noticed that too, and am hoping its just a Scottish tan. My head is firmly in the sand, I'm going to hope they both make weight comfortably
I am a bit anxious about the weigh in.

Sky are really pushing this PPV, it’s getting a crazy amount of promotional airtime on SSN. Wonder if they’re worried about low buys and doing their best to push it more than usual? The Taylor fight is brilliant for actual boxing fans, but there’s not much on this card to attract the casuals other than Chisora. None of my casual mates have even mentioned this card, although to be fair they only really care about AJ.

Boxerbeetle predicting a Matchroom PPV bombing?
Where have we seen that before?
Oh yeah. Every single one.

JT came across as a bit of a nob on the presser. Started the verbal insults.

He's been on edge since the Gloves off programme and looks tight at the weight. He's also fighting in less than two days.
I'd say his behaviour is pretty normal

Yeah and he’s always been a pretty prickly personality. Taylor is no Ricky Burns nice-guy, has much more of an edge to him.

He hasn't got the whole of Scotland behind him has he?
What's the deal? Is it to do with football?

Yes I believe so, but I will let the various Scotch posters on here answer that in more detail

He's a Hibs fan from Edinburgh and made some comments about Hearts and Rangers fans so they've thrown the rattle out of the pram a bit

I forgot about that. Most folk i know are all right behind him. I couldn't care less about the football crap when it comes to a fighter. I'm a die hard Gers fan and i went to a lot of Harrison and Burns fight and they're both from the dark side

Aye, I think most folk are getting behind him in Scotland now.
And so we should, it's not often we get an exciting fighter like this.

I watched him for years in the ams and i was desperate for him to turn over years before he did. He's got that nasty streak in him that i like to see.

2" height advantage and 2.5" reach advantage for Taylor could be pivotal in this close to call encounter

Both make weight. Prog had to whip his knickers off to make weight as he was over at first. Taylor looked gaunt facially. Must kill him making that weight now. Win or lose tomorrow i can't see him staying at 140 much longer...
