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

Probably a robbery... Catterall has it in my book

[madhive]

I gave catterall seven rounds but he looked horrible down the stretch. You got to show out to beat the hometown fighter.

[Damn Wicked]

This fight was constantly put on pause because of all the holding. Not the most pleasing fight. Cat seemed to be trying to just slow or stop the action rather than trying to actually fight.

A draw will be gift to Taylor. Ugly, ugly fight.

[Damn Wicked]

The ref really helped to slow the fight down with all the time outs and pauses.

[YGriffith]

Why is Catterall celebrating? He gave this fight away.

He gave the last few rounds* josh didnt do enough in the first and middle rounds, and got outpunched by almost double.

Ref Marcus McDonald did an exceptional job, one of the finest displays of fair officiating in all my years of watching boxing from the UK. Jack Catterall schooled Josh Taylor.
