After a week off from regularly scheduled programming Episode 7 is here! Josh Taylor's legacy as one of Britain's great boxers seemed locked on no matter what happened with his trip seven pounds north to welterweight, but now hangs in the balance after a shambolic performance (and even worse decision) in what looked like a routine title defence against British mandatory challenger Jack Catterall. What went wrong for Taylor? Were the scorecards in any way defensible?

Also, a look back at another all-British boxing match, a modern legend suffers a shocking loss, and a mixed martial artist who hinted at retirement beat a notable boxer in a straight boxing match?! Clearly it's silly season in combat sports.

As for MMA a quick look at a routine title defence from Bellator 275, and Islam Makhachev predictably steamrolls Bobby Green at UFC Fight Night (Feb. 26th)
