Ohara Davies-Josh Taylor - 8th July/Glasgow/Channel 5

Obviously this is just a hardcore Brit fans fight - the majority of Brits here wont know who they are let alone the non's - but you wouldn't know it's on if you weren't looking for it.

Not one mention this week on Eddie or Matchroom's twitter. Fair enough it's not their show, making a point, but imagine the difference if it was. Clearly Davies pushed for it when McGuigan trumped Eddies offer.

Still can't pick a winner, tilting towards elastic armed lunatic underdog, but don't think it goes the distance, which is slight odds against (love a bet when I have both fighters running for me).

Just realised Spike TV had the undercard.

Scot pro's are bigging up Josh Taylor as you would expect.

Garner beats his opponent with body shots in the 1st round

Davies controlling the centre of the round but Taylor boxing well in the first. I give it to the Scott

Davies is good at making himself awkward to hit cleanly

Majority of people seem to be wanting Taylor to win so I'm backing Davies

Good scrap in the 3rd

Just as I sent that last post Davies is getting snotted all around the ring

struggled in that last minute big time he did

Davies loading up in the 3rd but hurt with a body shot and knocked down at the end of the round with a jab. This is not going well for the Englishman.

Davies is swinging wildly and Taylor is blocking the easily and landing hard body shots. The tactics are working.

Davies is behind but it was closer 4th round. Come on O'Hara, time to take over.

I don't know how but I have kind of got sucked into playing my guitar whilst watching, looks like Taylor is taking the lead though, Davies is struggling to land anything

Ward lands a low blow on Kovolev.

good round for Davies then gets clobbered with two big rights which rocked him, Davies was doing well digging in the body shots in the early part of the round
