    Daniel Dubois had a decent workout before putting Tom Little away. He needs more of those type of fights as he's still learning. Besides his excellent jab and footwork, he looks a little one-dimensional and maybe slightly rigid.

    Not sure who's coming up next, but looking forward to Taylor and Postol on Channel 5 later.

    Yarde is growing on me. Very composed for someone so inexperienced.

    Watching Dave Allen against Tony Yoka. I thought Yoka would be a decent pro because he has the athleticism but I'm bound to be wrong. Despite winning nearly every round so far, Yoka looks average .

    I think Dubious is looking better and better. Nothing seems to faze him and his professionalism/maturity is way beyond his age.

    What channel?

    They're being way too careful with how they're matching Yarde. Must be hiding something. I reckon he's a bit on the chinny side.

    Really looking forward to this Taylor fight. Postol is a really good fighter in his own right but I think Taylor is special and think he's going to win in style. Postol hates fighting southpaws.

    I think Yoka will have a fair day on things. Allen is a fair opponent for him early on in his career. Rounds are good and got the stoppage. That’s the best version of Allen as well. The turnip that showed up against Ortiz was a joke

    Scottish judge is a bit odd, although be shocked if it went to scorecards

    Christ Alive!! I didn’t see it just keeping up to date on here was watching Taylor undercard. That’s appalling. I assumed he’d kept his condition from last fight. Guy has no will power

    Next round is a big one. Taylor has the ko in him Postol looking a bit leggy

    Taylor was hurt in the 7th. The reason Postol was using his shoulders was to stop Taylor holding as he knew he was hurt.

    Big round for Postol.

    Thought Postol was past it after the Crawford loss with a lacklustre showing last time out but he's fighting really well. Taylor with a lot to do.

    Excellent round for Taylor. Postol throwing plenty but no power left and looking gassy. Nice switch from Taylor that round

    Fight of the year anyone? I've Taylor by one but wouldn't mind if Postol got the nod. Crawford's resume looks a little better and Scotland has a right nugget on their hands. Taylor is class

    For sure. Garcia or Crawford particularly would give him trouble

    Huge cards, but all agreed. Several close rds...

    Could argue wide for Taylor...

    Have to say, beforehand I thought it might me a bit too early to take on someone of Postol's ability and experience and in the middle rounds it looked iffy, but Taylor really showed a winner's mentality. When he had to step it up - he did.

    Outside of Mikey Garcia, Postol was probably the best of the rest, so it's an excellent win.

    Still not 100% sure about his chin, but everything else is impressive.

    Cards are not a joke...every time...

    Some of you need to realize that wide cards can exist in closely fought fights...

    First 4-5 close and last 4 certainly Taylor including KD. Does seem very wide
