Ekow Essuman delivered an upset for the ages, defeating Josh Taylor to capture the vacant WBO Global Welterweight Championship on Saturday night in Scotland.
It was clear from the get-go that Taylor was on another level than Essuman, and likely took the first two rounds handily. Essuman finally got his offense going in the third, landing a big right hand that broke the guard and appeared to momentarily rock Taylor.
Towards the end of the round, Taylor landed a right hook, but Essuman snapped back with a shot of his own that had Taylor going back to his corner on wobbly legs.
