Josh Taylor emerges from classic a historic champion of the world

Just one punch changed the fight and delivered Josh Taylor to boxing's promised land in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Taylor was trailing on points after five rounds against Jose Carlos Ramirez in their old-fashioned, old-school unified showdown for all the light-welterweight titles: Taylor was unbeaten in 17 fights, Ramirez in 26. They each held two versions of the world title. They were in their primes, not dead at the weight, had no injuries - it was a perfectly wonderful storm, the one where the boat comes in.
