Taylor’s Make-Or-Break Return

This is a struggle that Taylor should win if he has something left because Essuman, 36, is not the cream of the harvest.

“Tartan Tornado” Taylor has lost his last two fights, and fans doubt he was 34 years old. He did not seem to be the same fighter he was once since his war with Jose Ramírez in 2021. This competition took a lot of Taylor, leaving -a shell of his first self in the last three fights he has had since. Josh’s record in these fights is 1-2, but it should be 0-3. His victory was a controversial 12 -round division decision on Jack Catterall in his first fight in 2022.

Taylor goes into the fight with a WBC #11, #11 Ranking Wbo a Welterweight, but it means nothing. He acted terribly in his resale with Catterall last year, losing a unanimous decision of 12 rounds to Leeds, England. Prior to that, Taylor was humiliated by Teofimo Lopez, losing the 140 LB WBO belt for a unanimous 12 -round decision. Teo made Josh look bad in this fight.

If Taylor is victorious against Essuman, he will be in a position to fight larger in Welterweight against Conor Benn, Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. It is doubtful that you will get any of these fights. Taylor will be required to come to someone decent like Karen Chukhadzhian, Eimantas Stanionis, Shakhram Giyasov or Rohan Polanco, who had a shot in these fighters. However, overcoming these guys can work the other way around for Taylor, frightening them. What you may need is for Turki Alralikh to note that the fighters would accept fighting to him.

“He has not struggled in a year. This is a fight for me, where Josh Taylor is shown against a very strong and natural heavy weight, which probably caused,” said Gareth A. Davies a Talksport Boxing About the struggle of Josh Taylor vs. Ekow essuman on Saturday in Glasgow.

Essuman is the perfect style for Josh to show his old form, because he is someone who will be there to be affected. Taylor will not have to look for him or to pursue around the ring as he did against Catterral and Theophimo.

Are big fights still possible?

“This is an opportunity to prove what is left and the desire there is. This heavy weight division is a row of murderer right now, and there are some gold geese for some big fights. Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia are the two notables.

Benn and Ryan are out of Taylor’s orbit. These fighters will focus on larger fights. Taylor has to start from below and work until 147. He cannot be afraid to risk the dangerous contestants because this is the only way that he can achieve fighters like Haney, Ryan and Benn to fight him.

“It’s a SouthPaw. I’m going to choose it in points, because I think he is very smart. He’s going to commit when Ekow Boxes and Box when they fight against Ekow. I just think Josh Taylor has to remove all the stops,” said Gareth. “I think Josh is good enough to show that you can do it to Welterweight and have a couple of big struggles before hanging the gloves. If you don’t have it, I think it’s the last of him.”

The version of Josh Taylor that existed between 2017 and 2019 would be Essuman and would make it look bad. Has not shone lately. Of course, one of the reasons why it is Taylor who fights against fighters, Catterall and Theophimo. Getting against these guys would be difficult for anyone.

“ Jaron Ennis is the number 1 of the division right now. Brian Norman is a champion. Devin Haney is in the division. Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney. The division is on. Thus, if Josh Taylor gets a victory on Saturday night and seems rejuvenated.This is a division where he can end with two mass struggles. Josh Taylor against the United Kingdom is massive. ”

Once again, Taylor will not get any of these big names to fight him, after beating 36 years. You have to do much better than this to land this kind of fights. It is debatable if Taylor can beat the fighters he needs to achieve larger fights.
