Brilliant fight...1st and 2nd round were close, prob a round each for me. Thought Prograis was going to run away with it from 4 onwards as he took control and looked slick for 3 rounds then started to unravel and looked tired from round 7  and Taylor took over, Prograis rallied abit at the end but think he knew it had swung Taylors way. Taylor showed unbelievable grit, and took Progrsis' best punches on the chin.

Price is a fucking bum. To think that he was once rated higher than Fury. :lol:

He was a wrecking ball when he started, he still has the fundamentals but can't keep going. Key to beating Price - take 2-3 rounds to suss him out, then attack - anybody good will win.

His biggest problem is..... and it is a huge one for any boxer - he can't take a punch - and when he does, all stamina leaves him. If he had an energy bar (like a video game), 2-3 good punches would empty it. He also seems to tire very quickly.

Chisora drained him by grappling with him and leaning on him up close which he was always going to do 

Baffling that Pricey wouldn’t even try to use his massive arms to jab him and keep him off him a bit

He is shot as a fighter.

Seems a mental thing with him, that and a very poor engine, plus slow recovery time.

Has the tools but cannot apply them. A bit like Audley Harrison at the end up.

Draw or Prograis slightly edged that for me.

How a judge has given that to Taylor by 5 rounds is utterly bizarre.

Tbf even prograis has said that Taylor did enough to win which shocked me as most Americans are not that humble after a defeat.

Foty contender for me and would love to see a rematch but think Taylor will go for Jose Ramirez .

 

He has fought 2 reigning WC a former WC and an unbeaten star tipped to be a WC with 94 fights and 1 loss between them in his last four fights . I can't think of ANY other boxer that has had a run like that .

Ironically the ones that aren't humble after defeats are the ones that have been well beaten.

It was a great fight and it's nothing against Taylor to say I thought it was a draw or just edged by Prograis, it's just my opinion as it was a very close fight.

I'd say Prograis deserves the rematch but I don't see it happening because Taylor will want the opportunity to unify plus tbh I don't think he wants any part of another fight with Prograis.

Would love see Crawford drop weight to fight Taylor think Crawford would win but that be some scrap.

Taylor beats ramirez easy imo

Canelo v kovalev this weekend think it'll be a good fight fancy Alvarez mid to late stoppage with a body shot.

Think Canelo v kovalev has a Canelo points win by dodgy decision written all over it.
