Cyc, did your username here used to be Cyclonic111 or did you play poker under that username previously?

On and off, I've been playing for pennies on probably 5 sites for a decade. I don't think I used Cyc though. I've been on PartyPoker for what seems forever. :)

Ron is right, I dropped the 111.

As for the fight, I don't think it was rigged. I can't see why Bob Arum (who has both fighters) would wanting to destroy his cash cow. Manny is where the money is, not Horn. I honestly thought Horn had won, but I'm not the best judge in the world.

Maybe he doesn't see him as his cash cow for much longer and he's trying to groom a new one?

Big fight in Scotland this weekend, a couple of UK local Super Lightweights put it on the line for the Commonwealth and WBC Silver Title. The Commonwealth champ Josh Taylor risks his belt while Ohara Davies sticks his WBC Silver strap. Betting has Taylor at 8-11 and Davies at 11-8. For me Taylor looks a bit too classy, but the face off below has a bit of the "in your face" we saw from Kell Brook and his team before the Spence fight. It scares me a bit. Anyone smell a bit of fear or is it just my imagination? Still, my cash would be on him.

This Josh Kelly lad looked pretty decent on his début. Will be interesting to watch his progress

Josh Taylor was a junior taekwando champion.

Boxing: Won the gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the light welterweight division.

Turned professional June 2015. 9 professional fights and 9 wins (8 inside the distance)
 
I've done quite a bit of reading in the last hour or so on the fight. As I said, I sort of lean towards Taylor, but heaps of boxing folk who've been interviewed say Davies will ko Taylor, they seem to thing Taylor won't be able to stay from Davies power. 29-10 a Davies ko.
 
Good fight this one, be very surprised and disappointed if Josh Taylor isn't too good for Davies. Davies carries power and a big gob but he's a level or two below Taylor from what I've seen of him. Taylor is a much more accomplished boxer and fights like an old hand, despite the fact he's really inexperienced in the pro ranks. I think he'll make Davies look a bit silly, but it's boxing and we can all be wrong at times!

Daniel Dubois fights tomorrow night too, few decent bouts on around the place.
