Yes. Prograis is very good, but I have a feeling this could be another Calzaghe v Lacey.

 

This gets mentioned pretty much every time a British fighter fights an unbeaten American.

You got your first look after the Ohara Davies fight, it was a nasty build up by both of them. But Taylor was so undignified in victory. It was sad.

 

Don't see any problem with this, if fighters act the c**t before a fight and they don't like each other why should that change after the fight ? I'd rather have that than the fake beef shite that Matchroom pump out every time 2 of their fighter fight each other to try and sell the fight.

 

Should be a great fight though, proper 50/50. Edging slightly towards Taylor as long as he boxes him and doesn't get involved in a scrap like he seems to always do. Progais has good head and upper body movement but Taylor's jab should be good enough to deal with that, excellent body work as well. I'd be surprised if either guy won by complete blow out or wide decision but i'll got with Taylor points or maybe a late stoppage if he can hurt him, don;t really know how good Prograis chin is.

Like others, find it really difficult to warm to Taylor. In this fight, especially difficult given the contrast - Prograis seems such a good, thoughtful person that it's such a sharp contrast. 

Should be a good night's boxing. Hopefully burns has enough left in the tank to beat Selby as well. Big ask though.

Would agree with Super A on that point. I’d rather Taylor was a c**t before and after the fight rather than be a c**t before it and then pretend it was just to sell the fight like Davies and Bellew do.

Just have a feeling Chisora is so unhinged just now he could do something stupid like get a DQ from punching him in the balls or nutting him. 

I think he actually seems quite focused and he's taking PR advice from Haye who is the absolute king of manipulating UK fans. Haye also seems to have improved his power.....

After Chisora sparks Price later it'll be interesting to see who he calls out.

Buzzing for the taylor fight, its fair to say I get more excited about the boxing than I do about watching than Scotland playing football.

I’ve just purchased this. The card looks decent imo.

Box Office doesn't seem to work for me, so I guess I'm watching Take Me Out. Enjoy the show.

Got it on Sky eventually

Has Ricky Burns got make up on?

[mylothedog]

All square for me. 3 to go. Mon Ricky

[taurus]

This has turned into a scrappy fight .

[MONKMAN]

This is a very close fight.

[Detournement]

Selby will get the nod. 

Ricky just not accurate enough even though Selby is a gutless tickler. Eddie will feed him to Luke Campbell.

How has Selby not even been warned yet. Continually punching behind the head, after the bell, use if the forearm. The ref has been pish.

I only saw it from the 7th but thought this, a lot of pushing from Shelby.

Thought Burns was going to pull a Chavez-Taylor last second finish.

[JamieStevenson]

Not watching but according  to Twitter this is a 12 round rabbit punching war and the ref is just watching it happen.

[kiddy]

"Don't turn your back" FRO you fuckin arsehole. You've just watched Selby ram his forearm right into Burns face, pushing his head back, 2 or 3 times in the trot.

[kiddy]

Burns is on the downward slide, but Selby is going nowhere.
