'Professional' boxers with no head gear.

TBF - I'm not sure either of those two "celebrities" punch anywhere near as hard as Conwell does. Still pretty stupid to be doing it with no headgear though.

I just hope the boxing authorities will look at how ring refs operate - they really do need to pay closer attention to the boxers health during a bout - Day was out on his feet a good few punches before he went over, and whilst the left hook didn't look much, the force he hit his head on the canvas certainly did. Had the ref jumped in sooner, he'd likely still be here.

Tough one as it's a massive step change to the way fights would be handled.

Taylor v Prograis this weekend.

Massive fight. Both unbeaten. Both amazing fighters. What's the feelings of the fam?

Prograis is hugely dangerous but I just fell Taylor is the best that Prograis will ever have faced. 50-50 fight as they say but I think Taylor wins this. Maybe on points.

**Steven Toast** · 10-23-2019, 12:58 PM

The last time Taylor was in a 50-50 fight he did this.

I'm thinking that it'll go the distance and Taylor will get a narrow points victory, which Prograis' camp will claim is down to home bias. Jezza

I hope Taylor smashes it though, as it's always good to see Scottish fighters do well*.

Taylor does it. What a fight.

That's him a boxing global star now.

Wow

**Jeff Resnick** · 10-26-2019, 10:55 PM

Always fancied him to do it but it was every bit as tough as I thought it would be. Prograis is classy as fuck. The state of Taylor's eye at the end Eek

That's him a multi-millionaire over night though. The sky is the limit for him.

Only just learning he's Hibs Perro

Wishing he got sparkled now APRant

His eye was worrying me a bit, was concerned it was going to get worse, but thankfully it held up.

Had a wee punt on him pre fight to win on majority points and some wee saver bets on him winning by KO in Rounds 10, 11 & 12.

Any Taylor win would've done though. Sound

Sky is absolutely the limit for him now, which is always nice to see for a Scottish boxer, regardless of whether he's Hibs or not.

**Zizou** · 10-27-2019, 09:12 AM

It was a grind for him but a deserved winner. Fantastic to have another world champ from Scotland.

**1500 Dollars a Day** · 11-10-2019, 11:18 AM

That YouTube fight was this morning. KSI won on points, sounds like Logan Paul would've won but he put KSI on the floor then hit him again when he was on the canvas and got a points deduction Laugh

The real winner being Eddie Hearne I suppose.

**Zizou** · 11-10-2019, 11:24 AM

Any highlights anywhere? Quite surprised at that, Logan Paul was by far the bigger guy.

See Billy Joe Saunders won in the real fight and called out Canelo GodIsGod

That would be brilliant.

Thanks for the reminder. Remember seeing it advertised a few weeks back, but it totally slipped my mind. Sound

**Diego Armando Toblerone** · 11-16-2019, 11:19 PM

Excellent fight this, two fighters really going for it and taking some punishment too.
