Josh Taylor
Thought he looked impressive again last night and against a decent standard of opponent for a 4th pro fight.
How far do you reckon he can go and who should he fight next?

Re: Josh Taylor
This Lad Has Got The Potential To Go Very Far.Strong And Sharp With Good Variety And Great Movement.
Re: Josh Taylor
I looked at the other British LWW earlier and aside from Jack Cattarall it isn't great. Some established names who are long past their best and other who are no great shakes. I reckon the British title should be achievable in the short/medium term.
Re: Josh Taylor
Real deal, very exciting, Jeff Saunders another good addition.
Re: Josh Taylor
He's a fantastic little fighter. He has a lot of strings to his bow and he is learning all the time! He is the brightest hope we have up here in Scotland!

Re: Josh Taylor
Yeah mate. Tidy but carries no power at all. Him and Joe Hams next fights are being shown on STV Glasgow next month so you'll be able to have a look at them. Joe Ham has a nice style that is more suited to the pro game.handsofstone wrote:I still havent see any of Flynn's pro fights Stu,have you mate?Stuarty30 wrote:Yeah you're right man: he is the only hope!

Re: Josh Taylor
Looks promising and stands out more than the standard prospect, though obviously very early days.
He can really get the shots off quickly and mixes them well.

Re: Josh Taylor
Very fluid in his movement, makes a nice change from the stiff upright fighters the GB ameteur squad normally produces, one to keep an eye on for sure.
Re: Josh Taylor
I agree British and Commonwealth with Nurse and HIbbert are within his range this year in my opinion, He is the first fighter for ages that I have watched very early in his career and I think, hang on a minute this kids really got something. He is a good height for Super-Lightweight, seems to do the weight easy enough, I really like him.Supremo wrote:I looked at the other British LWW earlier and aside from Jack Cattarall it isn't great.

Minimum of British,Commonwealth and European champion and at some stage of his career thereby should get a world title shot.

Re: Josh Taylor
Looked excellent again last night,speed,movement,power in abundance
His shot selection and slight shifts to find angles are beautiful to watch almost Loma-esque,top 5 prospect in the country IMO

Re: Josh Taylor
He looks very good indeed. Very excited about him since he turned over. I watched him in the ams a few times and was always impressed. Sounds daft because he's won all his fights early so far but he seems as if he's happy to be patient and not over eager. Picks his shots well, controls the distance well and looks to have real spite in his shots. From what I saw in the ams he can tough it out as well.handsofstone wrote:Looked excellent again last night,speed,movement,power in abundance

Some good names domestically at 140 for him as well. I'd put him in with the likes of Hibbert, Ryan, Limond, Saunders, Hughes even Daws etc tomorrow no problems. I think this time next year he'll be British champion.

Not that it matters mind but yeah i agree about him looking patient,its just that the KO's just keep coming and nobody as of yet can handle his power,Dixon looked pretty tough last night but when he was KO'd he looked all over the place,maybe concussed,shame that his corner did a dissapearing act and left him to fend for himself
Re: Josh Taylor
Like to see him fight Craig Kelly next.
Re: Josh Taylor
Kelly is a big Welter. Can't see that happening. Some good guys just below British level though that would make for good fights even at this early stage.forestbox wrote:Like to see him fight Craig Kelly next.
