Can't explain exactly why but Sergio Mora is one of my favourite fighters. I reckon the kid has real skills and a warriors heart.

Taylor hasn't knocked anybody out for a couple of years and if he can't put Ouma down despite hitting him almost at will I doubt he will find Sergio easy to get out of there.

I think if this fight does take place that Sergio will prove a lot of people wrong.

He probably won't be able to win but I reckon he could give as good an account against Taylor as Maliggnaggi did against Cotto.

Remember how before the Cotto fight EVERYBODY hate Maliggnaggi, he was on a par with Tarver and Ruiz in the hate stakes. After the Cotto fight virtually everyone now respects the guy and he's considered a really tough, gutsy fighter.

I think Sergio Mora could see a similar switch in public opinion following a fight with Taylor.
