Comments Thread For: Arnold Barboza Jnr edges past Jack Catterall to earn shot at Teofimo Lopez?s title

Who knows if Teofimo is still at the top level? Long stretches between fights, problems, etc. He & his people need to get it together.

Teo will take a Barboza fight. No power and doesn't have fast legs.

Close fight alot of swing rounds but I felt barboza did enough to Nick it. Both tho were very low volume there wasn't much happening from both guys and both were overly cautious in there

Birdsong, I told you to STFU

Where’s that Haka fellow ???
I've been hearing him biatch about The Cat saying he’s the best thing since sliced bread
Now what ?????

[Groin Grabber]

No chance in hell. Americans don't like fighters who run backwards all night. Come to think of it, nobody likes fighters like that.

Isn't that how Shakur beat edwin?

Catterall, what is there to say? He just can't take it to another level. If Josh Taylor could still safely make 140, Josh would absolutely brutalise Barboza. I mean Josh would put him in hospital.

That's 2 bull**** decisions for Barboza! Catterall wasn't great, but he did enough to win. Barboza won the fight by raising his hand at the end of every round whether he won it or not

How was it bs? Catteral did next to nothing most rounds and rounds he "won" he didn't even win by a landslide. His style is to just do almost enough. The cards reflect a close fight and tbh, it was a standard performance. Jack showed that if he has to initiate action then he simply won't and he prefers "quiet rounds". Now this isn't to say Barboza was special, but he didn't need to do a lot to win thanks to Catterall's extremely low output and activity.

Ok so boxing needs a new rule: both boxers get an "L" when drunk British fans fall a sleep in Manchester (or anywhere else for that matter). This said, still can't believe they gave it to Catteral, but even more shocked to see Barboza thinking it was in the bank with that performance.
