Comments Thread For: Jack Catterall Secures Revenge For Josh Taylor Injustice

[damned1974]

You thought Josh's horribly ineffective aggression overcame Catterall's effective defence and landing clean scoring punches?

I had it 8/3 with 1 even. Catterall won it clearly. You can't win rounds missing and hitting gloves all night whilst getting pinged pretty much every round with a load of good clean shots. Seriously, what are people watching.

Hilarious hearing the most corrupt scumbag in Bob Arum where everyone gets ripped off at TopRank even when they dominate. None stop too. No one does robberies like the Penguin. No one.

Jack is that you?

There was a lot of effective aggression from Taylor-a scoring criteria. Many later rounds Catterall did next to nothing and gave them away. Taylor landed body shots and was the aggressor.

If you believe Taylor's aggression was ineffective, then why did it keep Catterall on the backfoot, inactive for many rounds and defensive? Thought it was close, but also thought the judges wanted vigilante justice from the first fight.

Cat vs Zapeda in Leeds?

Good fight but Nash scored it a very clear 117-111 for Caterrall. Old man Arum with the worst on mic display since Anthony Joshua. Taylor is done. Catterall vs Lopez. Nash likes that fight. Nash out

Judges again were a joke. It was a razor tight fight which could have gone any way. Yes Catterall landed the bigger shots but taylor bossed the whole 2nd half of that fight bar the stunner in the 11th

Hustling means nothing if your getting out landed. Taylor is all show no go, he was getting pieced up way too much from clean punches. Bad card but the right result.

The scores were spot on - I had it 117-112 for Catterall. Jack was landing his jab regularly and was connecting flush with power shots, His defence was Mayweather'esque at times which made it difficult for Taylor to land properly on him. Taylor started pushing the pace and cutting off the ring well in the second half of the fight so he rightfully won his share of rounds there. However even in the rounds Taylor won Catterall still enjoyed moments of success.

If you go through all the rounds and score it according to who actually landed the better shots, ignoring the illusion of Taylor's ring general-ship, you will correctly arrive at a wide decision victory for Catterall.

Should have been obvious to Taylor's corner that Catterall had practically zero inside game. Almost seemed like Jack was feeling suffocated. I don't think I saw him countering on those numerous occasions. Problem was Josh's inside game was non-existent also in this fight. His arms were so stiff it almost seem like he's paralyzed and he punches with no power.

Thought the cards were terrible and Taylor did enough to secure the win or a draw, however as per most fights there were some close rounds which I gave to the aggressor. Looks like the judges wanted revenge for the results of the first fight. Judges have been really controversial in recent times.

I also thought it could have been a draw, awful cards...not saying Taylor won, but it was a one or two point fight either way.

I thought Catterall edged it. He hurt Taylor, if briefly, in the eleventh round.

A more entertaining fight than the first. Teofimo a clear level above them, but cong**** to Jack.

[BritJimbo]

Thought it was a very close fight. Cateral landed the bigger, more eye catching shots but he took too many rounds off and was getting hit too much during the many rounds that he took off. He's a pretty sharp fighter but he's way too conservative and his gas tank is a bit lacking..

Jack is tricky, but maybe Josh is the only guy at top level he can beat...he isnt exactly a huge puncher, he doesnt fight inside much, he isnt that tested against younger guys.

This is not Jack, no.

Catterall boxes mostly off the back foot and at centre ring anyway. Taylor wasn't the one who forced him there. He's walking Taylor into shots, which he did all night, while Taylor kept missing. Taylor found it extremely difficult to get past that jab. It was in his face all night.

Jack started to feel the pace past the halfway mark, but he was still taking most of the rounds. He was still in control.

I'll tell you what, watch the fight again, then tell me which rounds you scored for Taylor. I think when your purpose is extra focused, you'll see what i saw. Taylor missing with the vast majority of what he threw. You don't score for ineffective aggression. Sorry. Catterall was too good on the defensive and countered Taylor with far too many clean scoring punches.
