 2012 Olympian Josh Taylor (10-0, 9 KOs) was too much for #9 IBF, #13 WBC Ohara Davies (15-1, 12 KOs) in stopping him in the 7th round to capture his World Boxing Council Silver light welterweight title on Saturday night at the Braehead Arena in Glasgow, Scotland.

Taylor, 26, knocked Davies down in the 7th round with a big shot to the head. After Davies got back to his feet, Taylor nailed him with several hard punches that caused referee Howard John Foster to intervene and stop the contest. The official time of the stoppage was at 2:25 of round 7.

Earlier in the contest, Taylor had knocked Davies down in the 3rd round with a beautiful right hand to the head that put him on one knee. Davies got up and fought on without showing any sense of quit.

With the win, Taylor captures the WBC Silver 140lb title, and retains his Commonwealth. This was Taylor’s 10th victory of his still young 2-year pro career.

Taylor will at least crack the top 15 if he doesn’t take over Davies’ spots in the world rankings. (boxingnews24.com)
