That eye of Taylor's is horrible, will it keep him out for a while?

[Autobarn]

Really good fight. Taylor has better stamina, tried harder and wanted it more. Prograis is a little soft looking and is brilliant only for short bursts, rather than providing sustained work. Taylor did way too much work between rounds, say, 5 and 10. Not sure what was up with the Sky Spirt team and their scoring which I found grotesque.

Taylor is the next Calzaghe level talent. Southpaw, big, fast enough, great engine, strong albeit lacking the KO punch at world level. And the main thing, his adaptability: vs Postol, Baranczyk & even Prograis, he always finds something to change the fight’s outcome in his favour. Good that he’s being tested so early (unlike Calzaghe) because he appears to be growing & he’s unlikely to have the same success as a welterweight. As such, I believe he’ll face this Ramirez badass in the near future.

He needs a good rest anyway, but his eye looked ok yesterday when he posted a photo of him receiving a visit from King Kenny

If he were to beat Ramirez and effectively clean up at 140 then have a couple of solid wins at 147 then Taylor v Crawford could be massive. Long way away but not that far fetched imo.

Johnny Nelson is the worst. He consistently comes out with bizarre scorecards

Excellent analysis

Weird night.

But, so glad to see Taylor figure things out each time at progressively tougher levels.
