Taylor: "Today the best won"

Josh Taylor (19-1, 13 KOs) adequately accepted the defeat from Teofimo Lopez (19-1, 13 KOs) this weekend without looking for excuses and questioning the verdict of the judges. “The one who was stronger won, I was clearly not in the best shape. This is what it is, I'm very upset, but I'll be back. I would like a rematch, but he is a champion. I know that I can beat him, but today he was better, no excuses, ”said the Scot.

“I would like to box with him again, already at home, why not? But the ball is on his side because he is the champion. I would like to fight him again, but most likely I will move up to welterweight. I have said for a long time that my transition is inevitable, I can continue to fight at super lightweight, but at welterweight I would feel more comfortable, ”added Taylor.
