Taylor vs Postol - great fight through four rounds.

It's on channel 5 if anyone's looking for it.

Postol is a beautiful boxer. Does the simple things very well.

3 - 3 after six.

[spud_gun]

4 - 3 Postol after 7

Taylor in trouble during the 7th.

Brenstien on Channel 5 head and shoulders above any British boxing commentaor. Shame he's got Alex Arthur beside him

[spud_gun]

5 - 3 Postol after 8

Great fight. Taylor being made to look pretty crude. He's landed some bombs but seemingly having no effect on Postol.

Postol's right to the body is hitting home every time. Bound to take it's toll

[spud_gun]

What a fight!

5 - 4 Postol after 0.

Taylor on top in the 9th landing bombs that Postol is seemingly able to walk through....guys got some chin.

[spud_gun]

Postol down in the 10th!!!!

Taylor up by 1 after 10.

[spud_gun]

11th for Postol.....all square going into the 12th.

Great fight. Both men showing their class.

[spud_gun]

eh.....not showing bias in anyway way whatsoever i'm giving the 12th to Taylor

Taylor by a point on my unofficial, very subjective scorecard.

[spud_gun]

118 - 110
117 - 110
119 - 108

What a ****ing joke......those score cards are sickening. Why the **** would a boxer of any standard want to come to these shores?

Feel for Postol....hope he's already got the money in the bank from wee Barry

Scorecards were an utter joke. Think Taylor won but it was very close and certainly not the fight those scorecards are suggesting.

Judges thinking that Taylor won 10, 9, and 11 rounds out of 12 had to have had their minds made up before the fight.


I had each winning six rounds, and the knockdown in the tenth was the difference maker.


For me Postol had a storming first seven rounds, winning six of the seven, but Taylor turned it around by winning the final five rounds and scoring that knockdown.


So 114 -113 for me, and even if I gave one of the closer rounds that I gave to Postol to Taylor instead, then it would have been a 115-112 fight.

Was a 1 to 3 point win for Taylor imo, still chuckling at the judge that saw an 11 point difference between those fighters.

Joshua ordered by WBA to fight Povetkin next. Seems like the Wilder fight might need to wait now.

I have a feeling Wilder vs Joshua will be another Mayweather vs Pacquiao type fight whereby it'll happen 5 years later than it should have.

Disappointing the two sides couldn't make this work. Not sure which side is doing the most bull****ting.

Yeah I think it is more about finding the right figure that either one or both of them would be happy to lose their 0 for more than anything else.
