CALLUM SMITH DEEMS KATIE TAYLOR DESERVING OF THE HYPE According to him, Taylor showcased significant improvement in her recent bout, displaying greater discipline and strategic acumen. Callum Smith noticed that she punched with precision when necessary and tactfully employed movement and holding when required. This time around, Taylor seemed to box with a heightened level of intelligence. “I think she boxed a little bit smarter this time. I think she probably knew she couldn’t fight the way she could five years ago,” remarked Smith. Despite a closely contested fight, he deemed some scorecards were deemed a bit wide. As the final bell rang, his gut feeling was that Taylor had indeed done enough this time. The atmosphere was nothing short of extraordinary, arguably the best witnessed.“I thought at the end of it when the bell went, the gut was, I thought Taylor had done enough this time. It’s an unbelievable story,” noted the former super-middleweight champion. Undoubtedly, Taylor deserves all the applause and recognition for this remarkable chapter in her boxing journey.

The Greatest aka Muhammad Ali would always say, â€œWe canâ€™t be brave without fear.â€ I am a Boxing author at EssentiallySports and was first drawn to the boxing gym when a friend of mine came to meet me with her hand wraps still on. After arranging enough resources, I joined the gym and eventually tried my hand at MMA as well. A challenging sparring session always left me slightly bruised but happy. I have always enjoyed watching a good fight. Watching Mike Tyson demonstrate what rigorous and disciplined training can achieve motivates me to this day. Amanda Nunes is another beast that I look up to. My coverage of Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou received considerable appreciation as many unknown facets of these entities had been brought to light. Though I could not continue my training in boxing, I have kept myself busy and active through dancing. Outside the ring, I currently train in jazz and hip-hop.
