this brawl should be a great fight for two reasons...two undefeated champions fighting for 4 belts AND it's on ESPN for FREE!

Oddly enough Bev, Josh Taylor Comes over from Scotland to this fight! The movie Snatch is a very good flick. And Oasis is progressive rock band from over there somewhere!

it was a fun fight, R6 and R7 but also the early rounds. Scotsman vs Bud Crawford coming in the fall?

I thought it was a great fight although I do think the ref made some questionable calls. Good action fight. I had the fight over 10' rounds and I thought when Taylor dropped him in about the 9th or 10th round I had a shot. Let's hope ESPN will continue to bring top notch fights for free. The Tyson Fury vs. Dontae Wilder fight should be a good fight. Curious to see what the O/U will be. Fury actually signing the paperwork to fight Wilder on the broadcast was a cool gesture. The heavies could use Fury to pump some excitement back in the heavyweight division. As far as a Terence Crawford fight goes, Matt, I'd love to see it, but Crawford has his sites set on another Pacman or Porter. I was hoping the Scotsman would enter the ring in a kilt!

Thanks for the feedback to the new peeps. I didn't get to watch the fight. Headed to YouTube to see why my balance with my bookie is lacking $25!
Saw the replay highlights on YouTube. Bottom line for me is that judge Dave Moretti scored it 115-113 for Haney and I respect Moretti's judgement. The other 2 scored it 116-112 so it looks like it was a great fight. I just wish boxing would get rid of things like the "Mayweather exhibition fight" vs. some tomato can. Easy money for Mayweather. Then again, it's PPV so if anyone is dumb enough to pay to see that fight...well....
