  Taylor described the experience of fighting in Las Vegas as "brilliant", but felt he did not hit top gear in the ring.
  "It was far from my best performance," the Scottish fighter said. "I was a little bit too eager to impress on the big stage.
  "I felt a little bit tight and tense. I couldn't get my footwork going, couldn't get flowing. I never felt like I was in any danger, I felt very comfortable in the fight. I felt like I never got out of second gear.
  "He was very awkward, very hard to nail clean. When I did catch him he was very good at spoiling me. It was a good learning fight for me and to good get the eight rounds in."
summary: Josh Taylor remains unbeaten after a comfortable points victory over Alfonso Olvera on his Las Vegas debut.
