I think so too. I think the nod goes to who the crowd went for since it was so close

Great fight, lived up to the hype. Looked like a 7-5/8-4 Taylor fight but a draw wouldn't have been terrible. Taylor was clearly the superior fighter on the inside with more to his game. Prograis hard as nails and enhanced himself in defeat.
Good fight Taylor won , rematch needed.
Insanely high level fight we don't get to see this shit often. Glad I didnt have to be a judge for that shit , draw with a rematch would have been just fine by me but let em do it down the road cause that was a grueling fight for both.
Class work by both guys. To work every minute of every round at such a pace is rare, to do so with such accuracy and venom is rarer still. Thought Taylor edged it and deserved the nod, not just because he landed more solid, clean, hurtful shots, but because those were much more obvious and easier for the judges to score.
Both fighters gave it everything they had, a credit to boxing class acts.
Rematch please.
I'll rewatch in a day or two but on first viewing I thought Taylor edged it.
Problem Prograis has is that he stays in 1 gear every fight. I always thought he'd have trouble at the elite level because of that, especially when faced with a bigger, more dynamic and quicker boxer. He looked close to getting stopped a few times. Better skills were displayed by Regis but bigger heart by Taylor. In the end heart won out,but barely. Also Regis loses his shape when he get's tired. Josh didn't really. So Josh gave the impression that he was in control which is very important for the judges
Some morons in youtube comments and other forums are as usual saying "Robbery" It was a close fight and neither man could complain too badly about not getting the decision. But I'd find it hard to give Prograis 7 rounds but certainly wouldn't have been crying "Robbery" if the judges had thought differently.
As for Taylor. Good fighter. But if he moves up as he says he is. Is he ready Bud - Spence - PacMan - Thurman ?
Hmm. I don't think so. Some great domestic fights though Khan - Brook

So as long as Ramirez gets past Postol, there should be a unification. Both Ramirez and Taylor have shown to fight anybody. I don’t see any reason really that this fight wouldn’t happen. Also, I would love Taylor to fight MIkey Garcia. That would be another great fight.
This fight exceeded my expectations in every way. It embodies everything I love about boxing
Hadn't seen this, but looked it up and saw the whole vid. ;D
Perfectly choreographed sequence, in which Strowman somehow "sneaks" into the ring :D and decks Fury while Fury was expecting the other shrimp to be coming at him..... turns out is was Strowman instead.
Oooooooohhhhhhh....... the plot thickens. :rolleyes:
Fury's aides, who immediately come rushing to his aid when he's decked, apparently didn't see Strowman "sneaking" into the ring :D until it was too late.
They sure acted angrily, though.
Don’t let him off the hook if he ducks out of a Wilder fight for the 3rd time
Bit late with this I know but Taylor clearly won the fight for me, prograis won 3 or 4 rounds and that's being a bit kind
It was in general a close fight, every round close but Taylor won the rounds
