‘Katie can’t sleep until that fight happens. We’ll talk about the rematch later.’
Taylor, who moved up a division to meet Cameron, looked tired at the start.
Hearn even questioned his long ring walks, saying it was emotionally draining.
Taylor showed some lightning speed combinations in the later rounds but it wasn’t enough.
Cameron lands some heavy shots that Taylor struggles to answer.
‘I was looking forward to everything that came my way but I just thought about tonight,’ he said.
