Victor Laughlin giving Gutierrez a round emoji23.png

Did think she might have won the round after she got knocked down. Got a good couple of hits in there and Taylor had eased off, compared to the beatings she dished out in every other round anyway.

As someone who is really a casual watcher of boxing I couldn't work out if Taylor was incredible or if Guttierez was just totally out of her depth. Presumably somewhere in the middle? Fair play to Guttierez making the distance, it didnt look like she would survive the first round.

I came on here about 3 years ago talking about the 'Pride of Wicklow, Katie Taylor' basically laughed at as people more interested in some other Taylor male jobber.

Well, there you go. She is phenomenal, an absolute ambassador for the sport, different class.

Well done!!!!!!!

 

HUGE fan of John Lambies Yer Da intermittently coming in to this thread and making wild proclamations like this.

 

Fair play to him for “discovering” Katie Taylor 3 years ago, the lassie who upon turning professional was widely considered as the greatest female amateur of all time, was signed by the UK’s biggest promotional company to fight on the UK’s biggest television network and made her debut at Wembley Arena. Quite the discovery. That JLYD was bestowing her virtues 3 years ago, when she made her pro debut almost exactly 4 years ago and was a world champion less than a year in is completely inconsequential.

 

Bang on about the “Male Jobber Taylor” also, who has gone on to do nothing, other than unify a division and win the World Boxing Super Series in 16 fights, is likely to be undisputed by the end of his 18th, and has just been named in the pound for pound top 10.

 

A triumph of a post. Look forward to the examples of him “basically being laughed at”.

A sad day for our sport. Dave ‘White Rhino’ Allen has retired. Was limited as f**k, but was involved in some really entertaining fights. The Bracamonte one especially when they were both absolutely gassed by the 3rd round and then just punched f**k out of each other was a great laugh.

Fingers crossed the Doncaster De La Hoya gets a punditry gig, he’s a good lad, and would add some much needed charisma and levity to proceedings with bores / wankers like Froch, Bellew, etc around.

It's certainly the correct decision for his health. Even for a young guy he's taken some absolute bleachings using his skull as his main defence.

Seen the footage of the Usyk spar where he was basically out cold on his feet and can't remember anything. Let's not forget he was paralysed for a bit after the Price fight, anymore of that kind of abuse and it wouldn't have ended well.

I'm sure Eddie will sort him out with something and he will still be involved in the game.
