Hearn has never forgiven McGuigan for taking Frampton away from Matchroom/Sky. He claimed that Frampton was only a decent 'sell' in Northern Ireland . If he can engineer a defeat for McGuigans 'stars' like Taylor, he'll do it. I think Hearns is confident his man will win.
Should be a great fight.

You could be right mate but I think both sides are confident of getting the win as this fight could of definitely of been avoided for a while to bill it in to a big fight with more money and maybe even a meaningful belt on the line. The fact that this fight is happening relatively early in both their careers shows massive confidence on both sides

I had my first boxing dream in ages last night. Odd it was this fight, but Davies flattened him with a 3 punch combo in round 4.

really good exciting fight i think 50/50 , some will lean more to the fighter they have seen more ,like myself, seen more of ohara , this is what boxing is about though

Yawn. Someone need to edit these IFL interviews - they go on too long and are not that interesting.

PS I notice Ohara has puffy nipples like Gervonta Davis and Errol Spence.

Anyone know if this condition has implications of spending too much time with Kid Galahad's brother?

Im buzzing for this fight, cant remember looking forward to a domestic dust up as much as this one in a long time, I'm going with my man Taylor to edge Davies in a thriller, I cant stand Ohara outside the ring but I must admit I think he's capable boxer, he's quick, sharp with those long arms and punches with authority, I cant see past Taylor though he's one of my favourites at the moment, thank fvck he's Scottish because there's not much else going on up here at the moment

I think Josh's class and experience will win on the day and separate him from Davies in what should be a close, competitive fight all the way, Taylor has more in his arsenal than Davies and being the champ at home could give him the edge, that's how close I see this

Kudos to both men for taking this fight so early and risking their unbeaten records at Commonwealth level

I agree with the last post - a real competitive fight and I wouldn't want to predict the outcome although I've a feeling it'll have everyone on the edge of their seats.

Would have agreed that Scotland is lacking in talent until a few months ago but I'm becoming very impressed with Ross Murray ( very strong at flyweight), Lewis Paulin, Monty Ogilvie but where have Conor Law and an improved Rhys Pagan got to ???

I forgot to mention Quigley and Ball out of Greenock, but why so few fights ?

Yeah TBH there's actually a lot of talent up here at the moment so I'm full of poo, a year ago I was of the opinion there was nowt about but there's about 5-10 quality young pros coming through

Still stunned (for the positive) that this fight is happen.... big admirer of both. I give the edge in skill to Davies, but the size and strength of Taylor is also going to be a huge factor.

I'm struggling to think of the last time two undefeated prospects that have been hyped as potential world class has fought. Its on a different level to Mullings vs Oliver, but that the only example I can think of, of the top of my head.

Degale-Groves comes to mind immediately, though I think both of them are better than these guys.

Who you got mate?

Taylor looks the better fighter to me, but a lot of people with respectable opinions seem to really rate Davies. I could be overlooking something in him.....

Yeah from what I have seen I wonder if he is one of those who has fought within himself and has more to give when challenged.
