Josh nails points win over boy from Brazil

SCOTTISH lightweight Josh Taylor ensured the boxing ring remained a happy hunting ground for Team GB with a 13-9 victory over Brazil's Robson Conceicao.

Taylor showed composure beyond his 21 years to weather a late storm from Conceicao.

The Lochend Club fighter said: "I tried to hit and move throughout the whole fight. I knew he was strong coming forward and I knew that's what I had to do."

Taylor knew full well Conceicao would be a tricky opponent having sparred with him previously and so it proved.

After taking the first round 3-2, Taylor used his counter punching and reflexes to negotiate the later rounds.
