Round-by-Round: WBSS Super-Lightweight Final | Josh Taylor vs. Regis Prograis - 26 October 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

Maybe he should get a one fight, while Ramirez deals with Postol, and then hopefully it will be a unification of all 4 belts.

Happy for Stu and any other Scott's. Hope you got some blow! No idea who won. 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.

Shirley you mean Scots.........?

Taylor and Crawford would be very intriguing.

YAAASSSSSSSSSSS GET IN THERE JOSHT TAYLOR


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

I had Taylor by 2 on Sat night but i'd had a few beers. Watched it Sun morning and had the same score but changed a couple rounds about lol. Just in from work and watching it again now. Absolutely buzzing still. Over the moon mate. I'm the same as you, one of my favourite nights as a fan of the sport for sure! I think i watched the last 4 rounds standing in the middle of the living room shouting like a maniac Went to a wee Halloween do with Neighbours and all the kids yesterday and they'd heard me through the wall Fuckin brilliant man!

If the Ramirez fight can't be made next then i'd like to see him move to 147. Don't want him to hang around 140 for too long. He's massive at the weight. What you think for his next fight? I wouldn't blame him for fighting Ritson as it's easy money but Ramirez or 147 hopefully.

Loved Prograis's interview

He's a rare breed! a likeable yank He was excellent as well. He will surely come again. I'd actually fancy Regis to handle Ramirez easier than Josh because of the styles and Taylors insistence on doing things the hard way lol.

Barry Mc has already said that's a step backwards. Based on Taylor's aggressive matchmaking. He understands why Eddie wants it..

JT is looking for unifications, but would need to wait after Feb 2020 for Ramirez-Postol.

If JT becomes undisputed, then a fight with Ritson may be ok, because JT would have cleaned out the division..

If he does unify then a fight with Ritson is pretty pointless imo. No point hanging around a division you're struggling to make the weight in after you've cleaned it out. If he fought Ritson in the meantime while waiting for Ramirez then fair enough. There's bigger fights and more money to be made at 147. I think he'd be a lot more comfortable and box better there as well. I definitely think there's more to come from Taylor.

I can't wait to see Prograis again also. Guy is a total class act and that win for Taylor will only look better over time hopefully culminating in a rematch somewhere along the line. I'm sure both will feel there's unfinished business there.

Haha superb mate, everyone was in bed when Taylor was announced as the winner, I thought i was celebrating quietly until i got moaned at in the morning, I'd love to see the Ramirez fight but as you say Taylor would be paid well to go down to Newcastle and Ritson would be easy work for him, a move up to Welter looks a cert and I'd like to see the Ramirez unification before it's too late and Taylor ends up stripped for failing weight
