Taylor vs Baranchyk

Ivan Baranchyk on Instagram: “I look forward to fighting Josh Taylor in the @wbsuperseries semifinal on May 18, 2019 in Glasgow.”

Baranchyk finally confirms that this fight is a go.

Thoughts?

I've got Taylor stopping him within 6-8 rounds. Baranchyk is an open target, and his chin isn't the most sturdy.

Baranchyk will bring it though, so it'll be fun while it lasts.

 

haven't really seen Taylor fight. If he's as good as you claim, he should beat Bar quite easily. Bar is a good solid fighter, but an elite one would destroy him

 

Taylor's Got Some Stylistic Similarities to Loma...

Well, for what its worth, behind Loma and Usyk, Taylor is the third best white southpaw in the sport.

But in all seriousness, Taylor will definitely wipe the floor with Baranchyk.

Whether he's ELITE or not, we'll find out in the Prograis fight, but he might be.

 

I'll have to disagree with Reg... Barachyk's chances are slim. Barachyk went life and death with Abel Ramos.

I'd be pretty goddamn surprised if he beat Taylor.

 

Relikh has a better chance of beating Prograis than Baranchyk has of beating Taylor.

But I figure both guys should win convincingly and meet in the final as everyone expects.

Let's pray to the boxing Gods that we have Taylor-Prograis and Inoue-Donaire in the fall.

 

What if he's ELIGHT?

 

6 days away from this one as well.

My prediction remains unchanged. Taylor will stop Baranchyk in 6-8, in a one sided beatdown.

 

I give Bara a chance.

 

Only if Taylor is fragile.

It's a mismatch in terms of skill.

 

Inoue vs Rodriguez is the same day.

Rodriguez looked very good against weaker opposition but struggled in the first round. Also, Inoue is a special talent. I expect Monster to win in about seven

 

Its not just the same day - it's the co-feature

 

We'll see how much good Roach does for him.

 

Taylor is handsome devil, eh? Nothing like the no sex appeal having Prograis

 

The only way to tell whether that is the case is to watch him in spareing

 

Manny knows the result of this fight in advance.

 

Taylor really has a mean streak in him. I like it.

Intangibles probably wont come into play. Theres a big gap in talent and skill between them.

Taylor is gonna put a beat down on Ivan. BUT... Ivan will go down swinging.

 

Gonna be hard for Taylor to top that show, he's no phenom like Inoue. But let's see..

 

Prograis ain't that bad looking of a dude, McDogg.

 

Here comes Baranchyk to the ring. Baranchyk does have an intense look in his eyes.

 

Baranchyk, unlike Relikh, hasn't come to fall apart.

 

First two rounds pretty close. Taylor does the more sustained work but Baranchyk attacks well every now and then

 

Competitive fight thus far. Taylor isnt dominating like I expected.

 

Regis is looking like the favorite over Taylor.

 

Taylor hurt.

 

Really nice fight

 

Baranchyk down twice. Looks like Taylor got him.

 

Baranchyk has a glass jaw
