Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor-Teofimo Lopez: WBO Orders Title Fight, Already In Talks

[just the facts]

Did the WBO just pizz in Cateralls face?

Taylor will annihilate Lopez. Then he can fight the winner of Prograis Catterall.

[Nash out]

It has went to the scorecards and the A-Star judges have decided that Catterall has ducked the Taylor rematch. Taylor "wins" again. Nash out

This is a bigger fight for both of them and for fans as well. I won't underestimate Teo, but I think Taylor will take this one by UD.

Enjoyed seeing Taylor unify 140 but a lot of lost momentum since. This is a good fight for him though, he is physically and mentally stronger than Teo and should be able to bully him inside or outbox him.

On the official fight poster, the slogan could read "Loss of Face"....

"Medical proof was sought by the WBO, who issued a Medical Certification Notice to the Scottish southpaw on January 23, two days after it was learned that the Catterall rematch was canceled. A five-day deadline was assigned to the task, though the ordered title fight versus Lopez was the only update to that development."

So basically, they don't have proof! Caterrall has been robbed TWICE! I wouldn't mind seeing Prograis vs. Caterrall, but I would like Prograis vs. Russell A LOT MORE!!!

WBO World Duck Champion Title on the Line.

I like the match up but all the nonsense surrounding this fight takes something off of it.

Arum still with the WBO in his pocket and Catterall is the one that got screwed big time.

Taylor did not get that major payday for unifying and this is one of the more lucrative fights at 140 but still he should had rematch Catterall and it looks like that injury is bogus. That is a serious painful injury that you simply don't recover quickly from.

This is great fight but Catterall deserves his rematch. And oh, Teo will lose
