Scotland’s next star in the making, Josh Taylor (11-0) was due to face former world champion Humberto Soto (66-9-2) but an injury left Cyclone Promotions looking for a late replacement.
Nicaragua’s Winston Campos (30-3-5) was the fighter that accepted the challenge and the late call from Blain McGuigan. Thankfully, the show could go ahead.
Taylor, in a very dominant performance, put his man to the sword and the fight was over after only three rounds of boxing.
Barry McGuigan MBE expected Campos to perform better than he did but admitted that it’s hard to judge until they step into the ring with ‘The Tartan Tornado’.
He told Ringnews24.com:
“I thought Campos would have put up a better, tougher, harder fight – It’s hard to know when you watch these guys on video. They look really good and then you put someone like Taylor in front of them, and you realise very quickly that he’s actually not in Taylor’s league. We thought he would be a much more difficult proposition.
