Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Rages At 'Disgraceful' Scores For Josh Taylor-Jack Catterall II

When you get "Official" stats and they look way off to what you've just watched, it's best to fact check and see if what you're thinking is correct. After doing so a good few times to see if they were legit in the past, i came to the absolute conclusion that they were about as official as the draw in the first Lewis/Holyfield fight. They're bullshlt. It has nothing to do with who you're going for. It's about seeing if one of the arguments for close fights is legit or not. Trust me, it isn't.

You believe Wilder missed badly a few times? If a few times means all night in your world, then i agree. He definitely missed a few times. He missed a few times to a degree i've never seen before.

Well what are your genuine punch figures then?? If they are wrong you need to show your figures. I do doubt that people would be paying huge amounts of money for Compubox's services if they are wrong. Why aren't they paying for your services instead??

You are missing the point with Wilder - it doesn't matter if he missed 100 times - If he landed 100 other times. You demonstrated my point precisely there. Making a fighter miss doesn't get you points by itself - but fans think it does because it looks good.

LOL Bob knows Josh got his ass kicked, he's fortunate to walk out of there with a SD, I had that **** 117-111 for Catterall, Josh didn't do ****

I believe the official stats (this is their job!) over fans of the other fighter. Reminds me of the first Wilder/Fury fight when people couldn't believe there was only 13 punches in it. Fury made Wilder miss badly a few times and that was all it took for people to believe that Wilder hardly ever landed.

And I never go over a fight and count the punches. You'd have to be very emotionally invested to do that.

Taylor didn't come close to landing even half that number in power punches.

Never, ever take the punch stats. Always check it out yourself by going over the round. You'll be shocked at how bad those stats are.

The hall of fame promoter is getting old. His eyes are no longer there. Just Taylor clearly lost the fight. It was kinda embarrassing in my opinion. He needs to stop getting in the ring after h these fights.

Getting old you say! Hell, he is old! He's 92 fucking years old to be exact

I thought the fight was hotly contested and crowd-pleasing. Even though, I thought the scorecards were a bit lopsided; However, I still believed that the right man won.

That 11th round sealed the deal for me when Catterall buckled Taylor to the ropes. Also, I must admit that I was highly entertained and amused by Bob Arum's post fight rant over the public address system. It was Comedy Gold!!

I didn’t mind which one of them won the fight, but have now watched it twice and I had Catterall winning by 4 last night and 5 on second viewing today. Even in Taylor’s better rounds Catterall was firing that ramrod jab into his face and controlling the distance. It was a very competitive fight but the right man was given a deserved clear decision. Bob Arum made a complete bellend of himself and after their last fight together controversy I’m pretty sure Josh Taylor wished he had shut his big mouth.

I was there live last night, I thought the cards were fine to be honest

I had it 8-4, don't think 9-3 is a bad card. Catteral won clearly.

I was dumbfounded when Arum had a meltdown.

That's awesome - hope it was a good time.

Arum clearly had plans for Josh that were derailed Saturday. Maybe Taylor-Lopez II in the UK or something. Arum was big mad.
