Re: Ohara Davies-Josh Taylor - 8th July/Glasgow/Channel 5
Taylor looked good. A typical Scottish fighter - very well schooled, excellent stand up boxing technique, very tough with a good chin, sacrificing a bit of power to maintain classy boxing (look at people like Jim Watt, Ken Buchanan, Robbie Burns etc)
He was by far the better boxer, I thought Davies was awful. His footwork was his big issue, it was so slow and ponderous and he never once managed to cut the ring off. He was consistently missing wildly and throwing arm punches because his feet were always in the wrong place. What have his coaches and trainers been doing with him over the years ....... 'oh, this guy has heavy hands and can hit, so let's just focus on that'? You end up with a flawed fighter who hasn't got enough tools to ever have a Plan B
