:lol: You’re obviously right but there’s some luck involved. Sometimes you see fighters get absolute beatings & never get any facial damage & then you get freak injuries like Enzo did against Braehmer.

Cracking fight & I hope we see it again but I think Taylor will move up & Prograis will try & take over at 140 once he does.

I’m going to back Taylor on points but it’s not a confident pick like it would be if Shane McGuigan was in his corner.

Every time I see Davison he reminds me of the parrot analogy that Billy Graham talks about.

Did Taylor look a bit drained?
He did make weight first pop.

“Boxing is so easy for opportunists to infiltrate. You could put a parrot in a room full of the world's great trainers and it'd learn all their phrases and words.

I wouldn't trust the fornicator in a corner though“

Where did this chancer Ben Davidson come from? Has he ever boxed ?

As far as I can make out he met BJS at travellers bible class, trained him for a bit then hooked up with Billy’s mate Fury through their mutual love of the Good Book.

Is that about right ?

Love the attitude from Josh, hilariously digging out the startled Ramirez camp after a week of mild mannered talk....baldy f*ck :lol:

Ramirez’ trainer - who Josh calls a baldy f*ck when the guy tries to stop him going on stage ...he’s been winding up Josh on Twitter since that one round blast out he had a few months back

What are people doing with this?

Listening to radio?
Paying for it on FITE?
Streaming it “legally” ;-)

I could get up and watch it live on ESPN but decided to pay for it on FITE tv so I’ll watch it as live Sunday night, as got a few things on Sunday to go to ...The only good thing about this huge fight going completely under the radar with the casuals is its very unlikely someone will give the result away to me if I keep quiet about it LOL

I had to pay 12.99, wtf ?

Really? Sneaky!

Last I checked it just said $12.99.

Thought if you bought it in Sterling, it would convert.

Along the lines of you get hangers on in gyms all the time listening to trainers training fighters who can repeat everything they hear just like a parrot can but you wouldn’t trust them in the corner just like you wouldn’t trust a parrot in the corner

Davison is really quite unlikable. Loves an interview more than any other trainer and can’t help get involved with things he shouldn’t be.

I saw an interview with him the other day saying it was him that came up with the tactic of being aggressive and backing Wilder up in Fury’s rematch.

I find it weird why top fighters trust him. He got Fury fighting again so credit to him for that but he’s pretty much only worked with top fighters. Has he improved any of them? Probably not.

I’m still favouring Taylor to win tonight but I’d be a lot more confident in him if Shane was still in the corner.
