Taylor: 5/4

Draw: 20/1

Prediction

This should be a fascinating battle between two elite fighters, who set up in the southpaw stance. Both have power and the ability to work off the back foot or take the initiative.

This one could go the distance and Taylor may edge it due to the home crowd advantage, his bodywork ought to be key in a razor thin decision.

Key Points

• Taylor now the unified WBA & IBF champion
• Prograis handed first professional defeat

Here comes Lee Selby! 12 rounds of lightweight action incoming.

And now Ricky Burns, who gets a HUGE ovation from the O2 crowd.

Ring introductions done and here we go! The atmosphere has really, really picked up for this one.

Plenty of Scots in the arena tonight.

Round one: Burns 9-10 Selby

Fans all around the arena are singing ‘Ricky Burns!’ and both men start quickly. Selby’s fast hands lend him the early advantage but the Scot used his ring experience to her in close and smother. A close round, this is going to be difficult to score. I’d edge that one to Selby.

Round two: Burns 18-20 Selby

Selby has started the much better of the two fighters and lands a few nice left hands in succession but they don’t have too much impact. Burns’ age is perhaps catching up on him, he’s just a half second behind at the moment.

Round three: Burns 27-30 Selby

Close again but I’d edge it to Selby once more, he’s just picking his shots a bit better. Every time Burns lands, however, they have an impact.

Round four: Burns 37-39 Selby

Better from Burns, who starts as the aggressor and lands accurately to the head. If he wants more success throughout he’s going to have to switch up his attacks. First round I’ve given to Burns. 

[26 October 2019 21:06 · Adam Hamdani]

Round five: Burns 47-49 Selby

Both men starting to put some weight behind their punches now, first Selby lands a straight right which pushes Burns back but the Scot returns with a left. Is it starting to hot up a little bit? 

Wow! At the end of the round, Selby throws slightly after the bell and Burns gets annoyed with that and punches him straight in the head. Selby has to be forced into his corner. 

A close round. Draw.
