Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: It Wasn't My Best Performance, It Was Close, I Know I Won

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Josh Taylor was lucky to have walked away with undisputed junior welterweight championship, but Jack Catterall made his case. Taylor retained his crown by split decision (114-111, 113-112, 112-113) in front of a raucous, sold-out crowd of 12,101 partisan supporters Saturday evening at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.

Bob Arum, Immediately, step in and make this right, Declare Jack Catterall the righteous winner!!!

Dude needs to step right up for a rematch and shut everyone up....if he can.
Either way, he hasn't set himself up with a good look going forward.

At this point, it's up to the sanctioning bodies to order a immediate rematch or strip Taylor, but I have a feeling Josh would just any belt that would make him take the rematch. A couple of things here, nobody I mean nobody does home cooking like the U.K for it's fighters, is there a ton of bad decisions around the world in boxing? Of course, but I'm taking specifically about home cooking for their hometown fighters, and the U.K is the best at that. Also I'm not sure why people were surprised Callateral did so well, the writing was on the wall ,Taylor is not all that, He got a gift decision against Ramirez, which was a draw at best, and also against Proragis which he had I guess a better argument for the win, but just look at his face after that fight. At the end of the day Taylor is decent, but not great, and he would get killed by any of the WW....

Yeah okay Taylor. You lost this one and looked horrible. You better stay away from 147!

I don't know. Josh Taylor was just not himself for this fight. I thought he was too tight and tense. He needed to relax and loosen up more. He didn't fight a very smart fight at all. I thought he ate too many clean punches to have won this fight.

Obviously Catterall deserved the decision but the rest of this post is pure bu!!shyte. Why would the sanctioning bodies strip Taylor because of shoddy judging? You can make a case for Prograis deserving a draw but nothing better than that and no way in hell can you claim Ramirez even came close to a draw. It just didn’t happen that way.

i commented he looked really drained in the weigh in, especially gaunt in the face, not sure what the exact reason is but he looked absolutely awful though, been a big fan & knew he'd be a champ ever since he destroyed Dave Ryan, but he has never looked this bad, and its not that Catterall did anything spectacular, he looked like he didnt wanna be in there at times during the later rounds, was turning his back on several occasions when it started getting rough.

One thing i do know though is Boxercise Ben has to go ASAP, matey is a conman.

[SugarAnt05]

he lost that fight easily

catteral only needed to win 6 rounds to win the fight with the knockdown
