Great great performance by Taylor, against an excellent opponent.

It is genuinely a travesty that Mayweather v Paul got more coverage than this unification fight between two prime elite performers.

Taylor has that typical classic Scottish style ..... a teak tough, well conditioned stand up boxer with great fundamentals and decent power.

He has already mentioned his hero, Ken Buchanan, who he stylistically resembles - but there is also Jim Watt, Scott Harrison and Ricky Burns who all had that style too.

For the first 4 rounds I thought Taylor was awkward and off balance when he threw his power left hand, until I realised that by not twisting his body while throwing it, he was doing a brilliant job disguising it so Ramirez couldn’t see it coming.
