Taylor not winning a world title at welterweight on this showing

Retire I would guess after this showing - nowhere near world title level at 147.

Leaves an interesting legacy if he does hang them up - achieved more in 20 fights than maybe any UK fighter ever, but invisible to the sporting public.

That ko by that moses kid was stunning tonight.
Hats off to the yank for getting up to have a go after the first two knockdown.

The power of the lad is impressive but that split second composure to pick the right punch when stepping back is something else. Needs a step up in class to take him later into fights but I'd imagine there are plenty actively swerving him at the moment.

Needs to keep active.
Gradually getting better fights,
Might be hard to make matches for him.
Can see him being in with some of the bigger names next year..
Thought that young Scottish fighter reece Lynch looked handy.
Some knockouts on the card last night nearly every fight.

There's boxing on right now (on 5Action) then across to channel 5 at 9pm. Some banger named Josh Kelly apparently tonights draw. Might well be, after HIGNFY.

That was rather quick.

20 second light middle show. Shambles!

So, in other words, they're cooking up headlines to get a rematch some interest.
