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

[pedrito]

It was a very close fight, I think Catterall fought brilliant but he did let his foot of the gas in the last few rounds. He should have probably won, but it was definitely a fight that could go either way.

Do you think Catterall won at least 6 rounds? ...do you seriously believe Taylor won 8 rounds ?

With the knockdown Taylor would have needed to win 8 rounds to win this fight and there is absolutely no case for that in this fight

If Taylor won 7 rounds then the fight would have been scored a draw ,

Most people see Taylor winning 4 max which would mean Catterall won 8 and a knockdown which is essentially 9 rounds to 4

Is anything making sense to you yet?

Far from the worst robbery

Caterall probably won but Taylor is the bigger draw

That’s boxing

Taylor has literally zero chance against Bud

Move up, make some $, take a beating and do a Khan

So you could see Taylor winning 8 rounds then because that's what he needed for the w

This is why they keep letting robberies happen because of people like you letting things slide

These guys work their whole life for this and Catterall should be the undisputed champion right now regardless if nobody knew who the **** he was

I have followed Taylor since his 4 pro fight and I belive he is drained at 140, Catterall was good but Josh looked weak. His trainer Ben Davis did not do a good job in the corner

Disgusting robbery and hometown cooking in Glasgow! Catterall landed the better shots throughout the fight and according to Compubox he outlanded Taylor in 11 of the 12 rounds, landed 50 more punches overall and both more jabs and power punches plus a knockdown. How the **** did Taylor get the victory on 2 scorecards?! Even his own trainer told him he was down on the cards and needed a stoppage in the 12th!

One things for sure, based on that performance, Taylor gets decimated @ 147 by Spence, Crawford, Boots & Ortiz and probably Teo @ 140

Name me a worse robbery in recent memory.

This was basically another Kambosos vs Lopez, except this time, Bob Arum was not going to let his guy lose on the cards. Kambosos beat up Lopez the exact same way, unexpectedly, scored a knockdown, Lopez got a few rounds back but George pulled off the deserved win. Same thing happened last night, but Top Rank weren't going to let that slide...

This is the bum that tank davis is afraid to fight?

This british eurobum just got a gift win to some lyft driver they found in the pub for him to fight and tank davis wont even fight him?

So you must have a very low opinion about Ramirez and Prograis.

[The Big Dunn]

That "Typical UK boxer" beat the best the US had to offer. So they must be even more typical? Then you look at when they fight anyone with a pulse they lose. Why else do you think not a single American can match Taylor's resume? But when you look at how many fights they have in comparison, it gets even worse.

Same thing with the Mexicans.

You’re a dirty little maggot British cuck. If this decision had been on a PBC card you’d be ranting about corruption, bad American judges etc.

Suddenly you have nothing to say.

Taylor got a hometown gift. If you think he’s going to 147 and beating the top Americans( Spence, Crawford) you’re delusional.

Taylor got a hometown gift.

Taylor got a Bob Arum gift, more like.
