I thought Catterall won it. The ref spoilt the fight for me.

Re: Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

Decent fight but Catterall won it.

Too many experienced boxers called it that way and think he was robbed.
Johnny Nelson fuming.

Not a great advert for boxing.

It wasn’t the refs fault the holding by Catterall every time they got in close. Catterwll way too sharp at range but kept spoiling the fight every time Taylor got in close, maybe that worked against him.

If there’s a rematch and it’s in my garden I’ll draw the blinds as style wise it was an awful match up

Re: Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

The best fighter lost. There won't be a rematch as Taylor wouldn't agree to it as he knows the best fighter lost.

The ref really earned his dough last night.
The grabbing and the holding by both fighters was pathetic. Short bursts of action followed by long interruptions. One of the messiest fights i’ve seen in a long time.

No deffo not the refs fault he had a hard night work in there....I do think they were as bad as each other though, and both were warned. Catterall did have a 10/8 round. bit of under the table stuff going on with all the belts that were on the line not a good night for british boxing.

Re: Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

I’ve not seen the stats to confirm my initial reaction that Caterall was a clear winner.

However, outside of Taylor’s camp , no one seems to think that was a fair decision .

Boxing really doesn’t do itself any favours.

Re: Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

Not just a bad decision but an utterly outrageous one. Stats show that Catterall landed almost twice as many punches and every single independent judge rightly had him winning by a wide margin. The two judges who scored the fight to Taylor should never be allowed to score a boxing match again.

Re: Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

Just a total embarrassment for boxing, Caterall won by at least 3 clear rounds. Why does the sport keep setting itself up for a fall. At least with WWE you know it’s a sham.

Beware of any fight where Ian John Lewis is judging or reffing. The standard of of judging by the incompetent clique that the BBC keep selecting is appalling.
