Feel a bit sorry for Ricky Burns there

 

Thought it was a bit disrespectful to be honest. Understand them trying to progress Taylor and build him up, but Burns last fight was a world unification and he's being lined up to fight another former world champ in a huge fight in Crolla. Taylor looks class, but he's only had 10 fights, none at anywhere near Ricky's level. Give him a couple of European level fights first and then seriously discuss Ricky Burns.

 

I will need to watch it again sober but I thought both did well. Taylor has the same vulnerability as he's always had in the ams- plants his feet and too upright so takes too many punches. I don't think he 'schooled' OD either because he ducked the hook.

 

Davies was generally hitting arms and gloves, or being made to miss altogether, all night, and Taylor was catching him flush consistently. Taylor was levels ahead of Davies from first bell to last.
