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

Knew that robbery was coming. Taylor needed a KO after the 8th round.

With 1 pt taken from each there's no way he should have gotten that.

50 percent of Taylor's hits came from holding and oit of the break. Bullshiet.

also to the back of catterall's head, is funny how he didn't get a point deducted for that but he did for that silly punch to catterall after the bell

Is this who they're saying can give Crawford a tough fight? Never that

Andre Ward just explained exactly how I feel about the fight

He can't speak, he robbed kovalev the same way, no way he won 7 rounds either

Disgraceful robbery. Catterall clearly won at least six rounds and had a knockdown. Could have potentially seen a draw after the first points deduction but the second one evened that out. Never, ever be the away fighter at the Hydro. Had immediate flashbacks of Ray Beltran being cheated out of an obvious victory against Ricky Burns in the exact same ring.

Catterall is the fool here. Didn’t he watch Pacquiao vs Horn? Taylor almost got Teo’d tonight.

Can we please dump the entire ESPN crew? Mark “I DNSAB” Kreigel, Joe “every moment is the biggest moment in the history of ever” Tessetoire, Timothy “when I hear your voice it sounds like nails on a chalkboard” Bradley, Dre is alright.

Jack won that fight. I won’t say robbery but I had the Englishman winning that one.

A closely contested match isn’t a “robbery.” Such an overused term.

Now we have to listen to Boxercise Ben and God knows who else talking crap.
My money was on Taylor, this is a bad look for boxing.
I don't buy it that Taylor won that. The disaster the ref had didn't help matters.

This fight goes to show that you can't just coast after winning 7 to 8 rounds, especially when you are not the A side.
