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.
