Good luck to Taylor trying to book a fight in Scotland in the future. What self-respecting challenger would agree to that now?

both guys were clinching throughout but catterall landed the cleaner and harder punches plus he threw more. Sure Taylor might have more entertainment value but that is not we judge a fight .

But that's my whole point - normal judging will be suspended when a dirty spoiler wins a fight in order to satisfy the business side of boxing

Disgusting Josh Taylor you lost Scottish people if you think he is a champion after that performance you so wrong. He is a coke head Taylor who is gonna get smashed to bits

Agreed.

For me, Catteral clearly won the majority of his rounds.

Taylor's rounds, most of which are debatable, were never definitive.

Big fan of Taylor, in my top 5 p4p, but he lost that fight by at least 4 rounds.
My 8 year old son watched the whole fight (his first fully focused, not on his phone fight) and just asked me why the 'guy who lost still has the belts.'
Honestly don't have an answer.

I guess good thing the wife dragged me out of the house just as this fight was about to start, would’ve been pissed off watching a robbery from the way it sounds.

Another bad night for Boxing, even the promoter has just said he is embarrassed by the result and Catterall was robbed.

That is not a close fight. 100% robbery.

114-111 Taylor? Gtfoh

Subriel Matias will kick Taylor ass by TKO, but he will vacate the belts.

My man Josh lost!!!

Lmao, I like how all you switch up now that Taylor shows some frailties.

Supposed to be impossible to beat. Told you lot he was just a typical uk boxer..

Timothy Bradley and the ESPN crew have removed Josh Taylor off their P4P list. I believe it was Andre Ward that said that Josh Taylor needs to rematch Jack Catterall and clean this up, like he did vs. Sergay Kovalev.

Josh Taylor and Tyson Fury and Katie Taylor are frauds who have all been aided and assisted by crooks. I think Dillian Shyte migh embarrass Tyson in his hometown like Jack Catterall just did the 'Tart-Tomato'.

Josh Taylor: It Would Have To Be Someone Like King Kong To Beat Me at The Hydro

[ultravividscene]

Did anyone notice that Carl Frampton was sat next to Barry McGuigan all night and both laughing and joking - like, wtf?

Do a lawsuit right and insurers will often push to settle, meaning both parties can walk away winners if that was their plan

[mlac]

wasnt scoring but i felt caterall was the rightful winner, Taylor looked horrible, needs to get rid of boxercise ben asap..

[diplo]

Caterall will never get the chance to be undisputed ever again because Taylor will vacate. The biggest moment of his entire career, shot down, and no one, including expert commentators, every single former world champ sitting ringside, the promoter himself, are shell shocked. Not a single person outside of Taylor and his team saw anything but a clear UD for Caterall. I love this sport and I feel sick. This is one of the worst robberies in boxing history. No exaggeration. Show me a bigger robbery.
