Finding Josh Taylor’s Boxing Record – My Little Search Process
Okay, so I wanted to look up Josh Taylor’s boxing record the other day. Heard his name buzzing around again, maybe something about a potential fight, I forget the exact reason. But it got me thinking, “What’s his actual standing right now?” I remember him being undisputed for a bit, a big deal, especially being from Scotland, but boxing moves fast, you know?
So, what I did was pretty straightforward. First, I fired up my computer. Can’t do much online searching without it, right? Then I opened up my web browser – just the usual one I use every day.
I went to my favourite search engine. Didn’t get fancy with it. Just typed in something basic like “josh taylor boxer record”. Sometimes I might try “josh taylor boxing stats” or something similar if the first try doesn’t give me exactly what I need right away, but usually, the simple approach works fine for popular fighters.
Hit the search button and, boom, loads of results came back. You get the usual mix – news headlines, maybe some forum discussions, videos. But I was after the cold, hard facts. The numbers. I usually look for the reliable sports stats sites. BoxRec is often the go-to for boxing records, it’s pretty detailed. Sometimes Wikipedia has a quick summary box too, which is handy for a fast check.
I clicked on one of the top results that looked like a proper stats page. Can’t recall if it was BoxRec specifically this time, or maybe an ESPN page, but it looked official enough. Found his profile pretty quickly. They usually have the key info laid out clearly.
I scanned the page looking for the main record summary. You know, the bit that usually shows:
- Total fights
- Wins
- Wins by KO
- Losses
- Draws (though less common in boxing)
Saw the numbers there. Noticed he had a strong number of wins, and a decent chunk of them were knockouts. That always tells you a bit about the fighter’s style and power. Then I looked at the losses column. Every fighter faces setbacks, it’s part of the game. Seeing who the losses were against gives you context.
Just to be thorough, sometimes I’ll quickly glance at a second source. Maybe open his Wikipedia page if I didn’t already. Just compare the main win-loss-KO numbers. For someone like Taylor, they usually match up perfectly across the major sites. It’s usually the less famous guys where you might find small differences sometimes.
And that was really it. Took just a few minutes. Got the information I was looking for – a clear picture of Josh Taylor’s professional record up to that point. Nothing complicated, just a simple search process to satisfy my curiosity. Now I feel a bit more up-to-date when his name comes up. Simple stuff, really.
