The scheduling got me at the weigh in stages. Instead I found an open workout vid where Logan couldn't slip his padman's shots.

The writing has been on the wall ever since Hearn inked the USA pact with DAZN.  Sky will have to maintain an interest in boxing going forward if they want to flog PPV's.

On that note I can see that Mayweather exhibition bombing now that books aren't taking a decent bet.

Bit of a sweat there for the last couple of rounds.

Smashing fight, and Taylor is abs top class.  Knockdowns needed, as they were obv looking to do him on the cards.

I never really got Ben, but figured he'd obviously helped Tyson when he was in a dark place, and done well to craft himself a career off the back of that.

Longer he's around, the more he irks me

Taylor said he made 140lb easy and was disgusted at only winning 114-112. Voluntarily coasting over the line nearly cost them the fight. Horrible coaching.

Wonder what he does from here. He’s obviously completed 140 but might hang around if one or two of the stars at 135 step up. Alternatively, he steps up and tries to get a fight with Crawford. Size probably beats him in that one though.

Taylor seemed keen on a homecoming versus Catterall. Both men being MTK means it's practically a lock. He and Bob both mentioned the possibility of Crawford afterwards.

That was great stuff. It's some achievement to beat three existing champions.

Very good from Taylor, after an odd first couple rounds.

Strong enough finish from Ramirez. We're in robbery territory here.

There’s also a growing body of evidence that Davison is actually pretty shite. I’ve had a decent bet on Taylor but would have had a lot more on had he still been with Shane.

Is any actual sample size? Boxercise Ben is everywhere but I struggle to list fight's he's cornered.

Taylor Ramirez being hidden away on Fite tv has all the buzz of a straight to VHS movie.

It’s a joke. Proper fight. I don’t often stay up these days to watch them live but will be for this one. Hopefully the move away from the exceptional McGuigan doesn’t harm Taylor.

It's an early ring walk as well to precede ESPN's NBA playoff game.

The other day I had to rack my brains to remember a loss Shane has taken as a coach. Eventually I got up to 2.

They've done well promoting that one, and it's in Vegas, too.

That said, it's at the new Virgin (Hard Rock), so not exactly a prime location.

Haha Ramirez is a big ticket seller and social activist in LA. I'm definitely referring to our sectarian lad and the UK side.

There's a kid on the verge of becoming the youngest chess GM.

The current record holder is Sergey Karjakin at 12 years and 7 months.

BJS is a strong front runner with a dodgy gas tank. He had to bank 6/7 rounds and finish the fight on his feet. It was a good effort yet he was a million miles away from accomplishing either target.

A tenner a month is my guess.

And in front of 70k home fans in Texas, a state whose pro Hispanic officiating puts Vegas to shame.
