Hopefully Taylor won't be losing his council flat, bought with the winnings, in a couple of years time

Incredible fight I had it level at the end but so many rounds were razor tight, it was nigh on impossible to pick a clear winner, both guys left absolutely everything of themselves in that ring tonight, I couldn't have argued if Prograis had got it, it was that kind of fight, Prograis looked excellent super sharp, great head movement and movement in general, loved the jab and his body work, Taylor was taking a but long to get his shots off and was being outworked early but Taylor looked strong and I thought even though he could've jabbed more at times and kept the distance better he was actually better up close as he started to grind Prograis down and his body shots were 1st class as well as was the way he was able to impose his strength on Prograis

Prograis started to look weary and it gave Taylor and the crowd confidence and you sensed the tide shifting after the middle rounds, Taylor looked like his punches carried more authority and TBF Prograis took a lot of clean punches well, especially that right to the body in one of the later rounds, I did have Prograis coming back into it and taking the last 2 rounds to get a draw, cant be robberies in a fight this closely contested , the judges card was harsh mind, I think Prograis hurt Taylor in the last round and had him backing up, Taylor as always came back firing though, both warriors tremendous fight

I'm well chuffed one of my fav nights as a boxing fan

Get in there Stuarty

He's moving into a newly built house after this fight. I saw an interview earlier in the week.

The last 2 RDS for prograis were probably the most clear in the fight but both of them elevated themselves. Go figure, 2 top guys in their prime face off and deliver? Boxing can still be great! Taylor/Crawford please.

I think 8 rounds for Taylor is a real stretch. I wasn't actively scoring and a Scotsman was cheering for Taylor, but my gut feeling was Prograis had built a nice lead before Taylor took over, with Prograis maybe just edging the cards with r11 & 12. When they read "117" i felt certain it was going to Prograis.
