Gets the job done, does the Tartan Tornado. It looked like a couple around the back of the head, in this case, haha, but maybe it wasn’t his fault. Campos was trying to escape.
After two and a half years as a pro, Boxrec has Taylor at No. 9. They’ve moved him carefully, and now he looks ready for better opposition, doesn’t he?
Right! First KD was clearly a rabbit punch. But still, he did pretty much what he wanted in that ring. Hard to assess how he will perform against tougher opposition. Lots of unbeaten fighters in this division.
