Was a lacklustre championship fight. But, it is what it is. This is also a bi-product of the Floyd/Manny mega shows- it leaves resources, time and people who would more than otherwise have been ppv and premium cable fights turn to ESPN and Fox Fights, along with NBC and the like.
How long before Taylor gets in there with a live guy and gets smashed in his jaw? He didn't look like the Taylor who won his first title at all. The fight almost seemed like a high-priced sparring session- courtesy of Al Haymon.
Haymon is turning into a boxing deity of sorts! It's a little disturbing. After every match you have to hear Haymon's name mentioned, regardless of the promoter.
The major networks are to blame for this as well.
