Why doesn’t Josh Taylor get any recognition? Huge fight this weekend. No promotion.

Scorecards and referee did Taylor no favours but a comprehensive victory.

908

I was listening to a podcast with his trainer Ben Davison during the week, I turned it off when he started espousing his pro Kinahan bullshit. I’ve no time for any of that MTK / Kinahan mob

The boxers get a great deal from them it seems, and don’t peer too far into the murk.

That was on James English’s was it? Disappointing to hear him agree with Davison then.

911

That’s the thing I’d say MTK do genuinely look after their fighters. You’d be asking the boxer to take the moral high ground then and go elsewhere & they’d probably be getting screwed over somewhere else.

The vast vast majority of professional boxers are barely scraping a living. A decent deal is manna from heaven. Nobody who has cheered on a don king production can take the high ground too much.
Bizarrely, I read an interview with Tony Bellew a while back, who said that to his surprise, Eddie hearn was absolutely trustworthy.

I mean what do I know but my gut feeling is Hearn looks after fighters as best he can & tries his best to make fights happen. Bellew and him are proper mates the way they talk about each other.

Great Twitter account

915

Very funny yeah, the John fury one too is gas

916

Yeah it was and I had thought Davison was a clever enough fella, I suppose he knows what side his bread is buttered, bit too pally with that Billy Joe scumbag too.
James English is another cunt, he’s always at that shit agreeing with his guests no matter how wild their opinions are rather than challenging and calling out. He appeals to a certain demographic I suppose. Two or three of his guests / interviews have been good, the rest are garbage with incoherent scumbags who can’t string a sentence together. Rant over.

917

100% agree just happy to appease the guest. Always at it from the few podcasts I’ve listened to.

Hitler: “Jews had to go James, just weren’t cutting it”

English: “yeah, yeah man you’re dead right. People then giving you a hard time? Gimme a break man.”

Any views on ref’s part in the second knockdown?

919

I didn’t even wait for the scorecards, thought Taylor had him well beaten. Drama with the judges?

Was a really good scrap. Taylor took some shots but wore them well. His lovely short little uppercut was a gem

920

Yeah he could have intervened but sloppy of Ramirez to get caught.

921

Cards were just a bit tighter than I expected. 114-112 on all three.
