Moore: Davies the real deal
- Updated: November 25, 2016
Katie Taylor, Ohara Davies and Vasyl Lomachenko are all on Jamie’s radar, while one Wembley moment stands head and shoulders above the rest…
Katie Taylor makes her professional debut this weekend, what will this do for women’s boxing?
It’s great that Katie Taylor is getting a lot of coverage. She has been a fantastic ambassador for women’s boxing over the last 10 years and is very popular, especially in Ireland. It is going to take someone like her, with a personality people can relate to, to lead the way for other female boxers.
And will she be an instant hit?
Some people will obviously take a while to be converted and to be comfortable with women’s boxing. I certainly wasn’t comfortable with it for a while, but the more I’ve watched it over the years, the more I’ve learnt to appreciate and enjoy it.
Taylor is a phenomenal athlete and a great boxer and I’m really looking forward to seeing her fight. I’m sure everyone will get behind her and appreciate how talented she is.
Ohara Davies faces the toughest test of his career to date against Andrea Scarpa, how have you been impressed by him so far?
I think Ohara has looked brilliant and I’ve been really impressed by his progress. He is a handful for anyone at the level he has been fighting at, but this is a step up for him and it’s the ideal fight. It’s a bold move by Davies and his team, Scarpa is no mug and is a big, tall and awkward opponent who of course beat John Wayne Hibbert last time out.
Hibbert has had a lot of tough fights lately so …
