They don’t get it wrong. Bent as a nine Bob Note Nothing worse than that feeling. I just couldn't see Cattrall getting the decision. Like I said, if he had, there couldn't have been any complaints, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cattrall had got it I wouldn't have complained, but he just wasn't dominant enough for me. He let Taylor dictate things in the last few rounds, and those rounds are what win close fights. Taylor was very lucky tonight, he can no longer fight at that weight, that's for sure. At times he looked totally drained of energy. To put it to perspective, I could never see Cattrall beating Prograis or Ramairez. Taylor was a shadow of the fighter who beat those fighters . He will definitely be counting his blessings tonight. I’m sorry but WTF!!! Every man and his dog will tell you Jack Catterall won that fight. It actually wasn’t even close. What does not seeing Catterall beating Ramirez and Prograis have to do with anything. He was fighting Josh Taylor. And he got absolutely mugged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotions are high but it’s not Taylor’s fault, I think on reflection a part of him will be just as gutted as Catterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted February 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2022 Catterill landed double the amount of punches to Taylor and knocked him down ffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The sky sports presenter, “well we hope you enjoyed that”. How can anyone enjoy that, anyone with any interest in boxing will have come away from watching that feeling empty and angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because most people were expecting a walkover all the good work by Cattrall seemed a lot more intensified. It's a very subjective sport. I wasn't surprised by the decision at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some things in sport are subjective but I can’t buy your opening here. Taylor was beat hands down. Bold onwards, I might agree with (If I knew enough). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so it’s a better result for him than losing would have been. They’ll just play all the damage limitation cards they can in the coming days and Taylor will still be 19-0 and undisputed champion next time he’s negotiating a fight.

He repeatedly landed single jabs and hurt Taylor on many occasions with the jab and straight behind it. You say you weren’t surprised by the decision. What did Taylor do well ( in boxing terms ) that made you believe he won the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, yeah it’s subjective fair enough but you’re literally the only person in here or that was involved on the TV (which includes a bunch of current and ex-pro’s) who seems to think that so I really don’t know what you’ve watched but it wasn’t the same fight I / we saw sorry.

Yeah sorry, I replied in haste / anger and should have edited it as I think we’re on the same page and saying the same thing in slightly different ways soz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
