Prediction: Josh Taylor on Points
Result: Ekow Essuman by Points
Good fight here for 12 rounds as Essuman powered through a fast start from Taylor to show him what Welterweight is all about. Taylor was sharp early on but ran out of gas and just got outworked. He seemed incapable of turning it down like he’s known for and Essuman was really good. I did think Taylor could win this legit but I was definitely thinking he had one more robbery win in him 😂 Should’ve changed my prediction last second though just like I was thinking.
