Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Overcomes Knockdown, Edges Jack Catterall With Razor-Close Split Decision

Horrible judging! Awful performance from Josh Taylor. He's lucky Catterall isn't a heavy puncher because he got hit with flush shots in combos over and over right on the chin. Taylor should definitely move up and also get rid of Ben Davies

Messy one that. I had it about 114-111.

That Ref needed a good punch in the face.

And this clown says that he can beat Terence Duckford

I had Catterall winning. Very disappointed because I like Taylor. But also because there should be a new undisputed champion and that was taken from him.

I don't see Taylor vs Crawford even being competitive, period. Crawford ices him inside of 8. Catterall brought out a one-dimensional performance in Taylor.

This is how bad boxing title fights are now. It’s sad.

An unknown, undeserving fighter, who hasn’t even come remotely close to being a The Ring top 10 ranked fighter, got a shot at the undisputed champion, seemingly wins, but still doesn’t get the official W.

Sanctioning bodies make these awful rankings using idk what formula and don’t care, filled with obscure fighters, the majority don’t belong any where near a title shot based on skills, they still get title shots, win, and still lose.

It’s ******. You give these champions these gimme fights, and give some poor guy who works his ass off at the gym a shot, only to deny him a deserved Win.

It’s disgusting.

Boxing has to be one of the very few sports where even if you win, you can lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the only sport (along with others of its kind e.g. combat).

I read that Caterall has been WBO mandatory for at least 2 years, and he has never even taken any step aside money. He's legit just waited for this chance. Poor guy.

If Taylor honestly believes he won he’d give a rematch.
