Problems yes and I fear if it goes 12 rounds Usyk wins it by UD. The advantage is that AJ is a legit Super Heavy and Usyk is a small Heavyweight by today's standards.  And shown in his last fight that his punches don;t trouble legit Heavies much.

Re. the Chisora fight I thought that although it never really looked like Usyk was going to knock him out he definitely had enough power to slow him down and keep the bigger man off him. It didn't feel like Chisora was able to just walk through the punches and bully him. Although that's just off one watch on the night so my memory could easily be off/clouded :p .

Taylor v Ramirez. Who you got?

Hopefully TTT by stoppage.

Think Taylor is more rounded than Ramirez and has more ways to win.

The bout before doesn’t appear to have walked yet.

Some of the Taylor camp had it as 2am.

Taylor v Ramirez. Who you got?

The Taylor that beat Prograis wins this. If he dips below that level then it's close.

I've got Ramirez winning the third, couple close but thought Taylor shaded them. US commentator has given all but first to Ramirez. Must be 'only the last 30 seconds count' rule.

Nice by Taylor there.

I had Taylor 3-2 but I’m biased as f*ck.  Knockdown hopefully evens any cards.

Uppercuts like that ought to help remove any bias towards coming forwards too.

Second….Taylor pro fight I’ve missed.

Was worried by the Davidson link but hopefully sees it out.

(Didn’t see the Thai fella, either.]

Hopefully gets to do what he wants in the next bout - Easter Road or the Castle.

Unified in 17 fights is ridiculous before you consider the last 5 opponents were 110-1 with the one being Terence Crawford.

Delighted.

Even when Ramirez was on top in the early stages, Taylor was hitting him with hurtful body shots. As soon as Ramirez drops his hands to try and protect his body Taylor caught him with uppercuts.

The Fite TV commentary seemed a bit detached from what I was seeing.

No qualms about saying I’m a Taylor fan but didn’t really feel he was behind prior to the first knockdown.

Who cares, I hope the defence earns him what this should have - both in terms of recognition and everything else.

I thought it was close but Ramirez was nicking rounds by applying pressure towards the end of rounds. When Ramirez was having success he was getting hit with body shots on the way in though.

Dont usually watch fights that go t the scorecards after they've happened but I have to watch this.

Great win for Taylor. Undisputed in 18 fights, only Usyk with 15 fights done it quicker.

Hopefully Taylor can calm down a bit now. Outside of the ring, all of the antics that Taylor does wont serve him well against the 147lb killers. Even before getting to the champs there are monsters like Ortiz Jnr, Jaron Ennis etc
