Terrible performance by Taylor. 

Catterall didn't even have to work that hard to win it. 

 

He never won. 
 

[thurso]

Good to hear all the English gurning about getting robbed for a change 

best of it is 2 of the judges were English ??

[Zeus]

A woeful desicion however FTH 

???????

[Don Fonte]

I don't think Taylor won but nowhere near the robbery they'd have you believe.

Fuck them.

? 

Shocker of a decision. That's boxing for you though. 

Messy fucking fight from start to finish. 

Taylor's timing was off throughout and he looked low on energy. 

Did they even do any southpaw sparring? I was shocked at how poorly he adapted.

Correct. A very close fight.

Dry yer eyes Englanders. Yer man lost, get over it. This is Scotland, we don't do VAR.

[Ten Caat]

I stopped watching after he got dropped. Astonished to read an hour later that he'd won. I had him 5 rounds behind when switched it over and obviously it would have been 6 behind with him getting floored

The guffy seeth is fucking tremendous ?

Agree with you and Don here, feel for Catterall as he put everything in, only thing he was guilty of was trying to coast in the last 4 rounds which the judges will hate.

Presume you were pished when you watched it, it wasn't even remotely close.

This is where people pretend they are 'real boxing people' by claiming it was close despite not having a clue about the scoring criteria. Best ignored.

Patriotism clouding his judgement I think

Yet he probably still won 2 or 3 of them

Not at all. I'm no more than a casual boxing fan

Of the last 4 rounds? Educate me please, as I thought Taylor was the better fight in all of the last 4 rounds. I do appreciate he got a point off in one of those, which needs to be factored in.

Catterall outlanded him 3-1 in the final two rounds and as you say Taylor had a point taken off in the 11th (harshly I thought)

See I felt up until the point getting taken off of Taylor he was away to get a draw, just had a feeling due to some of the rounds being scrappy and close (in my eyes) but I didn't think he'd done no where near enough to get a draw let alone a win.

 

For me, I was applying the old adage of "you've got to take the belts" it's not official but most folk know that it exists, whether that's because of corruption or incompetence I don't know but it certainly gets applied to a lot of fights.  As an example, Fury v Klitschko, anyone with a brain could see Fury schooled him however there was a feeling, especially as Fury took the piss that he could get screwed over, couple of messy rounds which could have allowed the judges to favour the champion but thankfully they didn't.

I feel really sorry for Catterall, that's his career taken to a new level if the judges give the right decision.

I'll need to watch it back as I was at the fight with the eldest.  We left at the final bell to beat the crowds thinking the result was a foregone conclusion.  Couldn't believe it when I heard Taylor had won.  The pretty universal reaction since tells you it was a robbery and the punch stats back that up.

It was a shit fight tbh, scrappy as fuck.

On that form he'd get absolutely blootered if he moves up and fights one of the big names at 147.  He did look pretty drained at the weigh in though which may have been a factor.

He needs a new trainer, I've stuck up for Davison before as I felt he got a hard time but Taylor has gone backwards under him which is a huge concern, the step up in weight is needed like.

Agree about Ben Davison although Taylor was possibly weight drained  he looke really gaunt

. He left Mcguigan as was offered wads more cash by that Irish crook. Fury has improved  under Sugarhill and I would say Mcguigan looks to be doing pretty well with Dubois.

Taylor going to have to up his game again at Welterweight a seriously mental division. Not just Crawford and Spence but Ortiz junior not too shabby either.

 

Surprised no one mentioned the Scottish Heavyweight title fight on the undercard.  just fucking  embarrassing 

[Zeus]

What ever you think about the result (Caterall won comfortably iyam) it's bloody great the guffy public and others are still furious about this ?

Based off of those two I reckon if I got fit I could fight for that belt.

Great scrap

 

Bit gutted Ben Davison gets a win but Wood finished strong.

 

mental ending 

[Poodler]

That left caught wood every time. 
 

if he had done a eubank jr and danced about for another 90 seconds he would probably be champ. 

fair play to them both.

Brutal KO that
