anyone that knows anything about boxing knew how good Taylor was before Saturday night but I don't think the majority knew how good.
What a performance from the Tartan Tornado against a world class operator in Regis Prograis he has truly arrived on the world stage now and has taken his place as a Scottish sporting icon
Probably replacing Andy Murray as the top man as he's competing at the very highest level and winning
So well done Josh Taylor the fighting pride of Scotland

I had Taylor up by 2 before the start of the 11th round, had Prograis take the last two making it a draw. But no real complaints for the win for Taylor. No doubting Taylor's talent and determination but over the last few fights he is turning arrogant and disrespectful to his opponents. Possibly to sell the fight but I feel he should stay as humble as he was at the beginning of his career. Not sure if he would have been as humble as Prograis was in defeat.
P.S If that fight was in the USA Prograis would have go the decision.
That's twice I saw Burns robbed, the last time was against Crolla.
David Price while chinny nearly knocked out Derek "overhand right" Chisora with an uppercut, even Chisora mentioned it after the fight.
He also nearly knocked Povertkin right out of the ring. Shame he can't take any punch to the jaw

Taylor is just a bit of a dafty tbf a don't think he means half of it, I don't think he'll need to act like that again anyway the whole boxing world will of sat up and noticed him after that
Prograis was billed as the next big American (I know he's a bit older) so they'll be keen to get him over there to fight Ramirez
I don't think he should do Prograis - Ramirez back to back maybe fight Ponce or Barthelemy or someone down the rankings

Watched it back (missed it steaming)
He's class.
Andy Murray still lightyears ahead for me.
What a hero, what a story.

This!! Andy Murray story is incredible and seems to be on a new chapter.
Looking forward to the new tennis season and his return here to Australia in a few months.
