Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
I had Josh winning by a point, but those scorecards have left a very, very bitter taste in my mouth. One judge giving Postol one round? A complete and utter disgrace! What is the point in this sport when fighters turn up and fight their hearts out to only find out the judges never gave them a chance in the first place and turn in disgusting scorecards? It's a joke.
A great fight tarnished by disgusting judging. Same old boxing. Same old shit.

Classic hometown scorecards, Postol never had a chance.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
They did the same thing in Murray vs Garcia. Murray won the fight but the cards were ridiculously lopsided.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
I had it a smidgen wider then the first 3, but could definitely see 114-113 before that 118-110 business.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
Great fight though, Postol still has some tread on the tires, and I think Taylor is the goods, and can beat anyone at 140.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
I think Prograis, Ramirez, and Taylor are the top 3. Postol should go out on a high, he has had a great career, but where does he go from here? Taylor learned a lot in this fight, he was only 12-0, that is not a lot of fights.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
I think Prograis and Taylor are the two biggest candidates to take over 140. Personally, I'm not sold on Ramirez. Imam was a solid win, but Imam is still the same gifted outside boxer with little defense on the inside or footwork. Ramirez bashed and wore Imam down on the inside, and I don't think he could do that with Taylor, who prefers to fight on the inside. Of course we might see it soon anyways, so that will settle any discussion. Rumor is that Taylor may pursue Ramirez's belt over the WBSS tournament.
A lot of people had this as an easy step up a level for Taylor, and while I thought he was the favorite, I knew Postol was going to be the toughest fight of his career. He definitely has some things to work on, but I like where he is through 13 fights.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
I agree. I don't think we should completely discount Lipinets on the basis of his loss to Mikey either. He fought about as well as you can against an elite pound-4-pound talent. Sergey may very well be the best 140 in the world with Garcia moving back to lightweight. Too bad I haven't seen his name mentioned with the WBSS thing.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Viktor Postol
One of the better fights I've seen all year. Postol really took Taylor into deep water. Much closer fight than the judges had it. I thought rds 3,8,11 could have gone either way. JWW division loaded with talent. Should be fun to see which one rises to the top. Also, Postol's strong showing was another reminder of how freakin' good Bud Crawford is; having handled him so easily two years ago.
