Right man won. Caterall never attack and was waiting to counter most of the night.

Glad to see someone win away from home on points. No one really dominated. A draw would not have been farfetched but good to see Barboza get the nod.

I cannot believe they gave a points decision to Barboza in the UK. Miracles do happen.

would cat have got the decision in ole murica if the roles were reverse3d u think????

this fight had a lot running on it for both fighters ,cats style is to counter attack .....i have no problem with barbozas win , good luck to him

They always say never to put 2 counterpunchers in a ring, but Catterall was rancid, I've never seen him box so badly. A good Josh Taylor tears Barboza into strips.

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

yeah all teo has to do is go forward and miss and he gets awarded the decisions v movers LOL i get ya

They just had to mess with my system. I agree, in America Cat would need 3 points. Barbossa was in the spotlight at the right time. To avoid (they think) controversy, they cut it to two points and even then a draw would have been better. Cat won ugly, but lost for the bad PR.

It is like giving a Russian a win on points in the USA when the Russian is a big bad wolf (Kova VS Ward) Worst political decision ever.
