Was Catterall underrated/that good on the night? Was Taylor drained? (Didn't look it to me personally)
Or is Boxercise Ben just a garbage trainer?
I thought Taylor looked terribly unprepared from the off. That was how I expect a guy to possibly look that wasn't actually preparing for a southpaw and took it on short notice.
Granted a southpaw that actually knows how to utilise the shoulder roll is always going to be tricky especially for another southpaw but he look so unprepared and I'm buggered if I can see any adjustments this supposed p4p tried to make.
Maybe I am missing something I've only watched it the once and didn't sit trying to break it down but all I seen was a guy constantly slipping outside the jab and it almost completely befuddled a supposed p4p fighter. He simply slipped outside the jab everytime and Taylor didn't know what to do, he looked frustrated, stifled, almost like he'd never boxed before.
I like Taylor but I think he has gone from being underrated and underappreciated to disgustingly overrated & I think he has regressed under Ben.
I've always felt he had real limitations and found it worrying how he's always having to rally and going life and death, struggling big time with guys who are not very good tbh
I can forgive him for struggling vs Postol and Prograis both have a bit of quality about them but Baranchyk and unpopular one but Ramirez to a degree both very limited and only ever some sort of factor because the division was really poor once the older generation moved up. He's always in these fights & has some mad ability to make a rather routine defense turn into a foty candidate.
I've drifted off here from my main point which was throwing Boxercise Ben under the bus - I'm sorry but this guys a woeful trainer & I don't care if his fighters haven't lost since whenever or whatever else. He over analyses everything for the sake of trying to sound like he is intelligent/knows what he is talking about.
JT looked much better under Shane McGuigan, I thought Fury looked dog**** under Ben, same with BJS & whatever his name is that fought a week or two back.
I think he overloads fighters with information has them really overthink things. I am buggered if I can see what Catterall did that was so difficult to figure out.
Everytime I hear Ben talk he's just going on and on and on whether its in the corner, an interview or a breakdown. It takes him 20minutes to say what could be said in 20 seconds.
How the **** did this guy get all these world class fighters in his stable? Its baffling to me. You have Ingle, Adam Booth, Shane McGuigan & some decent established trainers in the U.K outside you have the Reynesos, Garcias etc etc
What is the obsession with fighters joining Ben Davidson? Its like a fan who has never boxed a day in his life has just been given this lucky break. Won the opportunity to train alongside a fighter and its suddenly stemmed from a mess about pad session into this fan training all these world class fighters. Its so weird to me.
