The card has begun on ESPN+..

Main card started at 1am UK time, main event should be 3am, no earlier than that.

I suggest waking up at 3am.. plus worse case, Zepeda will be fighting.

Believe this was a proper mugging, absolute robbery!

Looking forward to this mon the Taylor!!!

[gregregegg]

This fight is criminally under the radar. Might be top 10 fights that can be made right now, that makes it probably the best matchup of the year that will happen, and It has had next to zero internet presence, some know what it’s like in the uk or usa but this is grim.

Taylor is starting to annoy me.with his bully/aggressive tactics

Ramirez seems like a classy guy and Taylor is coming across like a bellend

Always said , never give a man a reason to be more determinned , cos he' might just take your best shot and climb of the floor , when without the reason he might stay down . Sometimes just best to keep your mouth shut and forget the theatrics

Did fury just talk. . I was out the room for a couple mins

Up to now , the commentary has been a real pleasant change from the usual UK rubbish , not biased , informative , and just talking sence not rabbling pure bollocks

[TheLeprechaun]

I think Taylor will win but I can never warm to him, He just comes across as an absolute pr*ck to me. Hes better than Ramirez for me but Ramirez is the kind of guy that is very easy to underrate.

[Ruthless-RKO]

All three judges scored it 98-92.

[emallini]

Come on Taylor lad

Undeserved. It was closer. Zepeda sucked.

[ThereByTheGrace]

This is the peak for scottish boxing. Dae it Taylor!

[margaret thatcher]

[mickey1975]

The MC was good!

[coneye]

Close Raminez just shading it for mme hard to tell

[milpool]

Decent third round for Ramirez.

[Grilling Machine]

I gave Taylor the first, Ramirez the 2nd (just), and definitely Ramirez the third.
