Taylor boxed brillanatly in the 8th. Has started to work out Vasquez. Using his jab to get a reaction from Vasquez bringing him forward.

Very impressive.
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
Vasquez down in the 9th from big shots. Vasquez stays down! Impressive!

Great body work by Taylor in that last round. Right to the body ends it.

Yes! Um I mean yes, of course he did . Have to catch this fight somewhere.
Great finish. Will have learned a lot tonight.
Atmosphere was great in the small venue.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Very impressed to be honest , very solid pressure fighter.
Well that's the point.
A boxing fan would know about the fight (how can you not when visiting a site like this everyday, even if you only found out last minute). So it's pretty fucking hollow complaining about "boxing is shit/dead these days," "everything is PPV" - the truth is you're not the fan you claim to be. That's all.
I could have said the same thing about any normal Saturday night show on Sky or BN/BT.
((I'm not just talking about people on here, in general. These cunts that do weekly boxing fan podcasts and whatnot are forever moaning and groaning (like Master but at least he watches the fights) about Sky and Eddie and whatnot but the cunts don't watch anything outside the Bellew's and AJ's and Haye's.))

3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
Vazquez is a nightmare to look good against or win against Taylor done a good job against a very experienced fighter indeed to stop him was first class upwards and on wards for Josh how about Flanagan V Taylor for the vacant title.!
Spicoli called it spot on. Played Sir!
The question is who beats Taylor at 140? I think I'd only favor Mikey, Barthelemy, maybe Prograis and Relikh. I doubt Orozco can make 140 anymore, I'd see him stopping Indongo and Troyanovsky, favor him over Lipinets and Ramirez. Barrios I think he beats too. I don't want to over rate Taylor too much but most of those fights are winnable.

Got to watch it and at end I was thinking how great a result it was. The atmosphere and showcase with emphatic end. It dawned on me the level of attachment fans across the pond put into such a young whirlwind, there was so much mutual respect prior and even afterwards with Vazquez and convinced that type of fan base cannot help but propel and build a fighter. I'm not building to a 'buuuut' moment but I honestly saw him winning it prior almost on a 50-50 split..half to his ability, youth and drive, home base but also where Vazquez was exactly in overall career. The added weight and arguably the recent change up in his style fighting more frontal and far less mobility. He got Bone as a late replacement and just looked to be fighting almost more aggressively. When the speed, pressure and body work got to him he was forced to go backwards full time again, put in that awkward cagey game and you just cannot do that at this level. Guess what I'm saying is all the praise for a sensational win well earned..but I wouldn't call it a mirror to cleaning top names instantly and hope they don't push him into a wood chipper. No need to rush him to market right off with cream of the crop. He has a great foundation and time on his side. I'd personally steer clear of Lipinets just yet and so many are tied up now with Ramirez-Imam on deck, Barthelemy and Relikh ordered to rematch for vacant trinket. Crawford leaving has opened up a grab bag and surely Taylor is sitting pretty but like to see him watch the dust settle a bit.
