Andre Ward had Taylor by a point. It's all a bit emotional now. Wait till things come out in the wash. Taylor won, that's official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't done Canelo any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, trust me. Watch it again. I didn't even blink when Taylor got the decision, incidentally, what an ugly fight. Two southpaw's was never going to set the World alight. At least you came at me with some humour, which is what I expect from you. The funny thing is, half of them couldn't box cornflakes.

M_Allback_14 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Ian John Lewis ruins fights in and out the ring - less accountable than premier league officials I didn’t realise Taylor was worth protecting that much but all those involved should be ashamed of themselves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Sport is now more about the money behind it than a fair contest between two opponents. This is becoming the same for all major sports sadly. Sport is becoming nothing more than a theatre production for unscrupulous organisers to reap in cash on the back of the paying punter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be so naive. It's been happening in boxing from day one. Debatable decisions have long been part of the sport. Henry Cooper was bitter till the day he died over Harry Gibbs raising Joe Bugner's hand instead of his. The exact same furore surrounded the first Eubank and Watson fight. It's nothing new. Taylor was the aggressor in those last 4 rounds and that gave the judges the opportunity to give him the decision. You can argue about the wrong and right of it all day, but it's not going to change anything. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, you may well come to the same conclusion, but watch those last four rounds. Cattrall took his foot off the gas and Taylor was the aggressor which enabled the judges to give it to Taylor. He was very, very lucky, but it's not the first time it's happened in boxing and it most certainly won't be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level after 4, Taylor always moving forward to catch the eye, Catterall doing a great job spoiling and protecting from the body shots which are normally a Taylor strong point.

Of course boxing has always been synonymous with rigging (and not just the big fights) but the money (not just in boxing) has got so big that sport is going to be susceptible to corruption. my remark was not just about boxing but sport in general whereby millions of pounds can be generated for individuals and corporations on the back of results regardless of being fair or not - just look at VAR (or is that me being naive again? It’s probably more cynicism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Catterall consistently out pointing him in the middle of the fight, possibly won 4 more rounds then Taylor after 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I do think Catterall had it, but if you back off and go into survival mode in the last rounds against a Champion, you are always gonna get the wrong decision. He should have turned it on in the last rounds. But don't get me wrong, Taylor lost that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Taylor won 9 and 10, Catterall 11 and 12. Taylors was a performance for shit judges, always moving forward but Catteralls movement in defence was really good and he made Taylor miss so often, Taylor threw plenty but they didn't score, probably looked like it to a judge but no, a lot closer deceptively then it actually was. Catterall won it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
