Not quite on par with her performance on the Haye-Bellew card, but this is once again a joy to watch

did the Macus Morrison fight prior to this not show Mr. Smith that building a record on bums doesn't really mean anything till you step up?

Yep

She's obviously a good fighter, and anyone who saw her in the ams should know that. I can't really get into the 'wow, she's so special, this is a treat' mood against these types of opponents though.

Milena Koleva is a former world title challenger lets not forget, hard to judge what the levels are in womens boxing are, as I have never followed it before. But, the Morrison point is a good one - though I suspect it wont be the same case with Taylor and her ridiculous talent and pedigree.

Taylor will never main event a show unless its a "really" stacked card.

Fair enough women's boxing isn't the deepest (especially at 126+) but there are interesting match ups that could be made...
...still shocked we didn't see Taylor do a Hyun Mi Choi...

shes got pedigree no doubt but the over exaggeration against this opposition just isn't necessary...

There's a lack of coverage of this card on Facebook which is disappointing...

It seems like her team means for her to face clubfighters and journeywomen. I understand that these types of opponents are standard for new pros (barrings Lomachenko anomalies), but I find it hard to get very excited over prospects bashing them up like this.

Her amateur experience is probably worth more than the overall experience most women pros have.

I enjoy watching her box, and I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing her live at Wembley (though I am up in the Gods). I'm not saying she is the second coming etc yet, but I am enjoying her professional career thus far.

They have, and people often complain about them being overly hyped.
