Comments Thread For: WBO orders Arnold Barboza and Jack Catterall to fight over mandatory spot for Teofimo Lopez

[steeve steel]

Teo getting way too much respect and consideration from WBO considering what he's accomplished. How long will they let him ride the "I beat Loma" wave? Seriously... Both Barboza and Catteral are more than deserving a shot at his title.

I think Catterall would wide UD Barboza

If the fight is in GB, yes. Anyway, will probably be a snoozer... Catteral style.

They trading words on X. No one is on X now .

how many more hoops does Jack Caterall have to jump through - Barboxa too for that matter - Lopez being protected

You beat me too it. When I read the title I thought - when is Catterall going to get a title shot? Surely he has deserved it by now. Many would argue he should be undisputed at 140 courtesy of the first fight with Taylor (not that I think he is the best fighter at that weight).

Both have earned the shot over the years but the fact is, this will be a boring fight because both are counter-punchers. Bad style matchup.

When is Cat getting a title fight? Cat got a title shot, then wasted 2 years trying for a rematch.

Not only has Cat already had a title fight, he's been facing place holders to stay in contention. Linares has been KOd 5 times, but Cat never came close and Rooroo come off getting smacked around by Haney. You have to go to the money, like Liam Paro and Kenny Buchanan. They won titles in Puerto Rico, no home cooking.

Kamboso chased Teofimo across America for his shot and beat him in his own hometown.

This is pure nonsense. Catterall should have had a title shot after beating Taylor and Prograis. I thought the Ramirez fight was a De facto eliminator for Barbosa.

Caterralls style is hard to watch, but he is the true Undisputed champion and an absolute nightmare to face in the ring due to his speed and akwardness
