Taylor’s career
Josh should feel pressured as he entered the fight with a record of 0-3 since 2022. Taylor lost the last two fights, and many boxing fans thought he should have the first clash against Jack Catterall in 2022. Experts believe Josh’s War Believe Josh’s War Believe Josh’s War against Jose Ramirez in May 2021 won his last three games against him in 2021, which cost him three games. That’s Taylor’s fall.
I hate to say that, but Taylor’s career was on Saturday against Eisman. He could pretend it was just another struggle for him, but his situation was terrible. The end of the Scottish lad is the loss of domestic fighter jets.
Josh may not retire, but fans and fighters will see him as one, he is already one. Losing to the cartel shows that Taylor is no longer world-class. That was the one who provided food for the first 147 pounds.
Italy’s weight and future concerns
Heavyweight Moses Itoma (11-0, 9 KO) had a fight of 254 pounds, his 10-pound second-class fighter Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KOS). The 6’2″ Itauma’s weights all look soft and seem to carry too much height. He’s now escaped, but he won’t when he starts taking over as a contender. He might be able to compete with this tomato, but if his promoters match him with Martin Bakole and Martin Bakole, he might be exposed.
Itauma was hit too much because it was with the cans he had been fighting. If he doesn’t trim and focus on defense, he will lose to Bakole, Joseph Parker, Agit Kabayel and Richard Torrez Jr.
Is this Josh Taylor 2.0?
“This is Josh Taylor 2.0. So, this is the beginning of it, Ekow is in the way it gets in the way. I’m going to do a great job tomorrow night,” Taylor said in today’s Weighing In a fight against Ekow Essuman in Glasgow, Scotland this Saturday. “It will be my own full-scale victory.”
Taylor sounded like a wishful thinking, thinking it was a new beginning for him. If he could have changed his career, he would have been fine now and would not have lost to Catterall and Teofimo Lopez.
“Josh Taylor has only one battle every year since 2020. That’s not enough,” said DAZN commentator Ade Oladipo.
“No, no. His fight wasn’t enough, but obviously, he wasn’t at his best when it comes to victory and loss,” commentator Carl Frampton said. “He lost the last two and then went back to Jack Catterall (in the first fight in 2022) and everyone thought he lost too.
“It’s a must-win for Josh. I think it’s a good time for him to leave the department and get the lightweight lightweight. He needs to do that a long time ago. He’s done it now. I think we’ll see a remodeled Josh Taylor with an extra 7 pounds,” Framton said. ”
