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

Taylor no longer has it anymore. He should have lost the first fight too.

I just don't see the controversy.

It was a very good fight. Taylor making most of the running and Catterall landing most of the cleaner punches. Both been contributed to a good fight but Catterall was winning the rounds.

If you prefer what Catterall did then you would score the majority of rounds to him. It would make no sense to suddenly flip your thinking and go for the guy coming forward.

I had it 8-4. I didn't think 7-3 was in any way outlandish.

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.

Agree.

This wouldn't have been too bad to say in a media scrum after the card like Bob has done in similar situations a million times previously. The fact he said this in the ring to the crowd like some promoter version of Tyson's Ill eat your children statement is ridiculous & makes him look ridiculous.

While I thought Catterall won... IMO the scores were off.
I saw it maybe a 2 point win, tops. Just my 37 cents worth, that's all.

Exactly. Bob robbed him and Sandor Martin to set up Teo v Josh before.

[Roadblock]

The right guy won, it's very easy for scores to be wide or close depending on how each judge views it. The main thing is the right guy got the win.

Bob spent good money on those scorecards. Of course he is outraged

[sportbuddha]

The old l guy isn’t wrong about the score being wide but let’s be honest, the money is now US fighters staying in US and the rest in Saudi and UK, he’s just dirty he’s losing out on the big dollars

[JeBron Lamez]

For a pro bout scored by 3 human judges at ringside, the fight really was perfectly scored.

[M312]

I had it 9-3.

I'm pretty sure those that had it close just didn't score the fight. It was toigh, but there was a clear winner for the rounds.

Jacks jab and left hand couldnt miss.
