    This BT card is awful. Sunny Edwards fighting Granados who Jamie Conlan had a war with. Edwards floored in the 2nd but boxing really well since.

    Katie's biggest test of her pro career so far tonight. Should be a really good fight. Expected to be in the ring at midnight.

    Card overall is poor. Canelo should get Fielding out of there early. Shame that Lemieux had to pull out of the card. Was looking forward to Lemieux-Johnson all week.

    Katie’s opponent is an “old” woman...

    Unless she can take Katie out she will get dominated...

    Fielding is muck. I expect Canelo to win easily...

    Expecting a reasonably comfortable win for Taylor tonight. Wahlstrom was well short of her class as an amateur so see no reason to think it will be much different in the pros. Doesn’t seem to have beaten all that much to get and keep her belt though suspect she’ll be doing ok financially to take a fight outside her home territory. Wouldn’t be too complacent about it at the same time.

    They fought 4/5 times if I recall. Finnish girl a pro 8 years now.

    Katie has 3 stoppage wins over her at amateur.

    Open to correction on this but I think they fought 8 times in the amateurs and the Finnish girl has never won against her.

    I still think it's by far Taylor's toughest pro fight. The best opponent she has had since an amateur.
    Tonight should tell us a bit about whether she has progressed since 2016 or has just been fighting weaker opposition.

    To be fair none of us have seen wahlstroms fights so it’s pretty much guesswork. Her fight record doesn’t look great on paper so I wouldn’t be all that worried about her. Katie did have the upper hand at amateur level but then she had a great record against potkonen but still lost in 2016, so I don’t think she’ll be complacent and will fight a measured, controlled fight.

    Give Edwards one or two more fights for experience and I'd fancy him to beat Barnes.

    I think he'd beat him tomorrow if they fought unfortunately. A fight to avoid if I'm Paddy Barnes.

    Taylor and Wahlstrom met 4 times as amateurs. Taylor won all 4, one bout was close. She stopped her at the 2006 world champs in New Delhi.

    Rocky has a height advantage on Canelo , Canelos first fight at Super Middleweight too should be a good fight with both fighters having the 1 loss each prior to this one.

    Rocky got sparked in 1 by Callum Smith. Canelo will murder him.

    You can get odds of katie winning 1/50

    If a 45 year old Audley Harrison came out of retirement to face Anthony Joshua. Similar odds?

    Comms on DAZN were saying it's actually a lot more full than it looks. Ringside seats aren't full but the cheaper seats are. Of course they could just be saying that as it's their show.

    She's far too quick for this girl and can't deal with the speed. Gotta love the Adam Smith hyperbole "Taylor who is a pretty big puncher".

    deffo suffers from lack of power
