Not as lengthy as the one with Lomachenko and Kambosos. Was like more than 3 minutes.

Any predictions in this fight?

If Taylor doesn't come straight in and is able to negate Jack coming in with his shoulder and holding it will be the same fight.

Taylor always came in on a straight line making him susceptible to Jack's punches.

I just hope it's a more entertaining fight than the first one. Personally, I'd like to see Taylor roll back the years and win - he's the more entertaining fighter to watch, I've followed his career for a few years, and I think his ceiling is (or was) higher, and but it's going to be hard. Catterall is awkward, safety first, and will stand off and counter all night if he can, making him very hard to hit clean and usually very good at what he does - just not very good to watch! He's a bad match stylistically for a high-tempo pressure fighter like Josh too. It really depends on how much Taylor has left and how he's able to perform on the night. Even at his best, he's going to need an excellent game-plan and may need to adjust in the second half if it's looking close as I think the judges, even unconsciously, are more likely to give a tight fight to Jack after the controversy of the first result. Taylor didn't look great against Lopez in his last fight either. In fact, he looked poor. He was a skeleton on the scales the day before and fought like one in New York. His legs were gone by Round 4. Maybe it was an anomaly, maybe not. We'll find out tomorrow night I think. Whatever happens, I'm hoping for a good, entertaining fight with a clear winner whether it's a KO or points and whoever deserves the win, gets it this time.

Taylor early. Won't take it lightly this time. Catterall has stood still waiting for this fight whilst Taylor has continued fighting top level.

[brettWall]

I don't like Catterall's style if you ask me. I've never finished watching any of his fights because they're boring to watch. He's hard to beat in that sense so I don't see Taylor being able to crack or decipher such crafty style which is totally different from say Regis' or Ramirez who engages.

ooooh they glared at each other! Was there a twitter follow up?

[Boxfan83]

Taylor is his own worse enemy. Unsure what he has to prove at 140.
