    Finding it impossible to score some of these. Just back and forth action constantly..

    No sure either can knock each other out..

    Davies Jnr needs to go to the body more. Don't think either can win this by chinning each other..

    Ritson will get * annihilated inside 6 off Taylor and Prograis. It won't even be close

    They were saying they'd rather he fought Taylor as Prograis is all wrong for him as southpaw..

    Taylor can switch and is more likely to knock him and out and ruin him to the body..

    Both would stop him inside 6. Taylor would do him really easy for me..

    Taylor is predominantly a southpaw fs :giggle1:. And a lethal body puncher, Ritson would get folded in double quick time.

    That wee dwarf was just saying that Spencer Oliver. What are they on?

    Any which way that goes, Ritson get's murdered..

    Taylor would absolutely murder Ritson it would be over in two rounds. I'd even pick Ricky Burns at this late stage of his career to beat Ritson. Ohara Davis v Ritson would be interesting, you never know what your going to get with Davis he might quit if things were going badly.

    Absolutely buzzing for next Saturday night. Think Prograis/Taylor is going to be a boxing clinic.

    I hope Taylor can do it but I do believe this Prograis kid is a special talent but Taylor has that home advantage that makes it a very hard fight to call. I lean Prograis but if the scorecards are close they will give it to Taylor. I don't see either of them getting the stoppage. I hope Taylor mixes it up with the body shots he very dangerous when he does that.

    Bit nervous about this..

    Think Taylor's strength, reach and quality of opponent's have been of a better standard though. Been in a couple of war's as well which should stand him in good stead as well..

    Really hope he does it and a stoppage would be an even bigger statement..

    Genuine potential fight of the year. This is gonna be class..

    Ryan Burnett has announced his retirement.
    Massive pity to hear that.

    Buzzing like * for tonight. Hoping Taylor wins, and unifies. I think his strength, punch power and inside fighting will catch Prograis off guard. Prograis is thinking this will be an easy fight and will be his undoing and as long as Taylor keeps his head I think he has a good chance of stopping him.

    Aye the closer it get's the more confident i am that Taylor is gonna really hurt him..

    Think he drops Prograis. Cannot wait..

    Hope Ricky Burns can do Selby. Both are spent but Burns did look quick with his combos at the media workout. Fancy Burns to get that on points as Selby doesn't like a pace or anyone pressing him for 12 in his face..

    Would love for Price to spark out Chisora but won't happen..

    Want Price to win soo bad. * hate Chisora, he's a *. Tries so hard to be edgy and tough etc, would love Price to pole axe the * but I give him about a 10% chance.

    Closer it gets the closer I'm thinking more and more Taylor wins and wins good.
