Dumb Fook Jack Catterall, you stepped-aside to let the 'Tart-Tomato' unify with Jose Ramirez, then waited a whole year only to be stalled by Taylor's knee injury. You should know how the game goes, SUCKA.

Catterall was the one keeping it at distance. But due to getting out-boxed, Taylor then forced himself on the inside to make it rough. It was all Taylor. Of course Catterall was going to smother him at times and not let him rough-house him. Taylor has done this in spots in lots of fights. But he hasn't been dominated and out-boxed the way he was with Catterall so he went crazy with it. Hell, he even intentionally headbutted Catterall by pretending he was going in with a punch. He wanted to give him a cut like he had and hoped it would take Catterall out of his game. It still didn't work.

We must have been watching a very different fight.

Where are you from in the UK by the way?

I didn't see the attempted head-but incident. We did watch a different fight lol. it was horrible to watch. Taylor forced his way in, as you say, Caterall smothered him, as you say, but then Caterall hung on for dear life and we had 5-10 seconds of them walking around the ring - partly the refs fault - he should have deducted points earlier. I'm in Birmingham - you?

I saw the fight after knowing the result I thought Jack edged it but there was nothing in the first 4 and last 4 rounds.when I heard talk about a robbery I was expecting an absolute boxing lesson given to taylor but thats not what I saw .

It bugs me. People think if you get a knockdown, you won the fight. Except when it comes to Wilder and Fury in the first fight- then it's Fury put on a boxing clinic for 10 rounds. That was def not a robbery either. Wilder only needed to win 4 rounds to get a draw.

Catterall did well, but it always looked like Taylor overwhelming. Even in the early rounds that Catterall was winning. and sure enough, Catterall was in full retreat for the last 3-4 rounds.

Decision aside, the more concerning thing for Taylor was his inability to adjust and stop being hit by the same damn punch the entire fight. At a certain level, that just should not happen.

Birmingham born and raised?

Just checking to see if you're Scottish or not.

If someone wants to roughhouse you on the inside, you've got to shut that down. Jack would fight at times, at others he'd tie him up. You don't just let someone bully you on the inside like that. Jack did the right thing.

Whenever an underdog has any success in a fight, people throw objective scoring out the window and are saying "they better not rob him!" by like the 7th round.

Catterall stopped throwing punches the last four rounds... completely gave away a third of the rounds flat out! I was rooting for him to pull off the upset, but this was no robbery and it's insulting to suggest it was. It was a close, competitive fight. Cant complain about it going either way.
