He is a good fighter, a premeir fighter no doubt but to think he is going to make these astronomical leaps to the point where he KO's a guy with a defense and chin like Winky's is ridiculous. It really is. And I hate making post like this because I like Taylor but to say he will make Winky wilt....it's ridiculous and the same thing you all said before the fight.
I strongly disagree,because a well thought out gameplan and execution and some refinement will bring this evenmore success...a year your joking rightHE's Friggin 27 for goodness sake he has plenty time to develop and yes a few more months and better shot selection and Winky will wilt under the power...So your saying it has never happened before??
I don't care if he is 27. He is in his prime and he is fighting tooth and nail with the division's best, you don't get much better then that. To think he is going to make this GIANT leap forward is ridiculous. What more do you expect of him? Winky won't wilt, I guarantee it.

I can't beleive you guys learned nothing from the first fight. It's obvious that if Taylor is going to beat Winky, he is going to have to jab and circle the whole night and hope to negate the jab of Winky. But 99/100 the fight is going to go the distance imo.
