    Be hard to beat that card in Scotland for card of the year without a doubt. Expecting Taylor to do the business in a gruelling fight. Possibly getting late stoppage. Don't think Baranchyk likes it to the body.

    I really rate Rodriguez so great to see just how good Inoue is. He's the real deal imo and will stop him in the mid rounds.

    Inoue P4P number 1. MONSTER.

    Absolutely an appropriate nickname- Monster.
    And he wins the ring belt for it, makes it more impressive.

    Definitely the real deal. Will absolutely wreck Donaire in the final. Without doubt the P4P hardest puncher in the sport and probably the best fighter overall.

    What's most impressive is that he continues to exceed expectation. He has a stellar resume and guys were supposed to test him or at least take him into deep waters yet he just destroys them. I really do think he could go up another few divisions. He's technically very very good as well. The power obviously is the standout attribute but his speed, shot selection and IQ is just as good.

    ...Watching Joyce is difficult, it's like watching a film on media player but having the speed setting at .75 instead of 1, everything just looks SLOW...

    Ustinov vs Joyce is slow motion.

    Very good round for Baranchyk there.

    10-7 round for Taylor, looks well on top now!

    Don't think the fight is that close tbh. Baranchyk has had one good round.

    I don't think Prograis will lose to much sleep over this.

    BJ was cruising there and he got clipped, took the rest of the round off, shouldn't be in any trouble provided he keeps his head on straight

    Nasal spray should see him through.

    If BJS just had a touch of power he really would be top notch.

    I agree, loose, good mover with fast hands but he messes around too much for me to be a threat to the big sharks in his division. Not busy enough or powerful enough to bother any SMW's or keep them off him. He'd be better off trying to make a few quid off Eubank Jr or try and fight Smith.

    Just watched back the Inoue KO, Rodriguez corner were a joke, he was looking for them to stop the fight shaking his head but they didn't.

    Inoue power at such a small weight in mesmerizing. All the tools to be one of tbe greatest.
