JOSH TAYLOR VS MIGUEL VAZQUEZ Channel 5 11th November 2017

[Master]

I hate when they do that don't they know I have todo round by round for saddo?

Makes my job hard.

At least there is no match of the day.

[Alpha]

I'm really impressed with Taylor but his team are taking a huge risk here. No one looks good against Vasquez and he has excellent skills backed with a granite chin. The epitome of high risk low reward in this one, although beating a quality opponent like Vasquez should bring Taylor the rewards and recognition it deserves as he progresses.

[Alpha]

Lee McGregor's debut is on this card too.

[Spicoli]

Don't often pick against a guy as long in the tooth and mass experience like Vazquez but I have a sneaking suspicion Taylor will just not afford him the empty space and time that Vazquez needs to spoil a bit and box his own tempo. I think Taylor may actually be the first guy to even stop him. Not on a count but well behind, late rounds and possibly "injury" related .

Mission, 2 is bad enough.

[Alpha]

Although Fa holds those 2 amateur wins over Parker I'm not that impressed with him thus far as a pro.

This is why I get a bit jarred by all the moaners and groaners on here about "boxing is shit these days" "terrestrial TV" "Benn and Eubank days" "PPV bollocks." Prime time Saturday night free TV yet not one of them will even give this fight a mention let alone watch it. In fact they won't even have a clue who Taylor is let alone Vazquez (they'll tell you all about Bellew and Haye ruining boxing though).

Here we have a 10-fight prospect facing a 30-year-old Mexican, former "world" champion, coming off a four-fight win streak that has never been stopped and suffered just 5 defeats - to fellow "world" champions - in 44 bouts.

On paper it's an absolute mismatch. However, Taylor is 50/1 on!!! Mexican road sweepers are given more chance. Mental. (Vazquez 12/1, generally)

Lets add that 2 of those loses were questionable, 2 were to Canelo (although the 1st was Canelo's 3rd fight and split) and the other was to Bradley. Taylor will deserve all the credit in the world for a win here.

I didn't know this was tonight, I'll definitely watch it, I might watch this over the Smith v williams fight.

I'm guessing the undercard will be on spike tv or whatever it's called.

Has o'hara davies fought since Taylor dismantled him?

O Hara won a few weeks back on sky saying he was not prepared for Josh but will be back.

[Batman]

oh yeah, I remember now, I actually watched the fight

Not Prepared? Fuck me , he was "prepared" for the pre fight bullshit. He got fucking outclassed. Stop with all the excuse bollocks! (Not you Mate, I'm talking about O'Hara Davies. )

@Fenster I get what you are saying but has there been any promotion at all for this? I haven't seen a single advert on TV for it (granted I don't watch much TV so I may have just missed it) but Sky ram their cards down your throat for weeks and sometimes months before a fight, Channel 5 seem to just put the show on and hope a few people will watch it.

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.))
