Re: Josué Sastre vs Sota Catterall
There’s no surprise that Scotland isn’t world renowned for their cuisine by any means but tonight man, they’s got some good ole homecookin’ going on in Scotland. Denmark might be the ones known for something rotting over there but I think there might be a little stench in the streets of Glasgow tonight. Make no mistake about it Catterall won. I had it 115-110 for Catterall. Sastre was well taken care of tonight.
But this really paints a broader picture. Fucking Andy Ruiz Jr beats Antonio Josué and what did he do after that? Buy Lambos and party hardy and boom. Expected. Fucking Theophimus Lopez what did he do after beating Breakingman? He seemed more worried about attending New York parties hosted by JLo and making sure he got the right costume down for his 300 ring walk against that vegemite eating kangaroo motherfucker that now ironically seems to be turning more and more like Lopez letting that big win go to his head and mark my words he’ll probably put a great show for his ring walk at the Sydney Opera House before getting embarrassed by Breakingman or Heiny not sure which gets the opportunity against Kambosos next. Again, Sastre got the decision but he knows he didn’t win and should he find himself IN THE RING, IN THE FUCKING RING across from Bud Crawford. Then Boy! He BETTA RUN, HE BETTA RUN FO HIS LIFE! Because Crawford would fuck him up. He thought he was all that after the fight against Ramirez which I was legit impressed by that motherfucking performance but no way, no way he won this fight tonight.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Prediction.
I don't think this is a mismatch, Catterall is fairly experienced against southpaws, has faster hands than Taylor, but I don't think this is a tough fight for Taylor, he's stronger than Catterall, and his inside game is far better, Catterall can box on the outside, has good footwork, and if Taylor isn't imposing his strength, Catterall can be more competitive, but Taylor is still the better outside fighter, and there's no comparison for power, Catterall will struggle to hurt Taylor, Catterall has a good chin.
I think the fight will start at a low tempo, Catterall will have success by using pivots and throwing combinations, will be unpredictable and selective, but Taylor won't take long to adapt to his speed, will out think Catterall, will establish his jab, back Catterall up, and Catterall will be on the defensive in the mid rounds. I don't think Catterall will be surprised by Taylor's strength or power, but he will struggle when it's Taylor who's setting the traps, Taylor who's able to pick him off long range. I think because Catterall won't open up much himself, Taylor will have to be patient to do damage, Catterall will avoid fighting on the inside, but in the late rounds, when he takes more risks, he will take damaging counters, and when Taylor has hurt him, Taylor will take full advantage, stop the movement with body shots, step intp range, tee off in variety, and stop Catterall.
I think Taylor by late stoppage, I wouldn't be surprised if it went the distance, but I'd be shocked if Catterall won this, he's not bad at any level, but Taylor is a level above, and I expect him to be do dominant.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Terrible performance from Taylor, great performance from Catterall, I had it a landslide, I could see it being closer, but Catterall did enough to win the fight clearly. I think Taylor was weight drained in this fight, he looked lethargic, his chin wasn't holding up as well as usual, and he struggled to take the body shots, he backed up and complained they were low, which was a bad sign. Taylor didn't throw his jab with any purpose, Catterall was landing the counter left over it, and Taylor wasn't ready for Catterall's jab. Taylor wasn't mentally right, he looked at his corner and shook his head a few times, and when he got dropped, his defence had collapsed, he was going for broke, and wasn't fully focused. Catterall was never in a position to be hit clean, he was slipping and rolling with the head shots, and Taylor struggled to attack the body because Catterall blocked well and made himself small. I thought Davidson was terrible, Taylor made no technical adjustments when Catterall was out boxing him, his aggression didn't seem like it was strategic, and I don't think he knew what to tell him. The game plan from Moore and Catterall was great, he didn't try to over power Taylor or out fight him on the inside, he neutralised the inside, used his feet, worked in spurts, and let Taylor take more out of himself by missing.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Agree.
Disgusting some people are focusing so much on Catt coasting to try to justify the result. He outboxed Taylor easily for the first 8-9 and scored a KD. He'd done more than enough to win with any fair judging.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Is it DISGUSTING, or is it logical knowing that Boxing is corrupt to its core as a sport(even though I enjoy it)? Giving up 4 rounds by almost only clinching was not just a bad plan but terrible to watch. That being said, I agree from what I saw he should have won with fair judging, assuming the beginning is as people describe.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
It's disgusting and unsurprising
Catt coasted a bit at the end, but should've had more than enough of a lead built up to do that. The people focusing on his coasting don't seem to mention Taylor getting handily outboxed for 8-9 rounds and dropped too.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Both can be true. Taylor looked like shit in this fight and got soundly outboxed from the outside. Catt coasted a ton at the end. He barely threw a punch and almost exclusively clinched/spoiled. I feel bad for him, but I'm definitely not lining up to watch his next fight.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Pretty disgusting what they did to Jack. He did take his foot off the gas in the later rounds but he did enough to win CLEARLY. I didn't say it on this website but I had a strong feeling pre-fight that Caterall would pull off the upset. The judges didn't award him the decision but in my mind, he's the undisputed champion at 140 lbs.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Yep agree, this was a full blown robbery, not some fight that could've gone either way. Catterall won enough rounds + the knockdown to ensure that he could coast and still win comfortably. At least if the judging had been fair.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Anyone who didn't have Catterall this winning was probably gaslit by Andre Ward, who is basically employed by Taylor's promoter. Shameful judging and shameful job by Ward in commentary
Cat landed more in nearly round, landed far more clean shots, scored the kd. There's no basis on which Taylor legit won this fight

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Mind boggling me that we've had some guys score it for Taylor. Josh couldnt land a clean shot all night. Got hit more, got hit more in more rounds, got hit with the better shots, got dropped on his butt and cut up.
The disparity in clean punching was huge. Taylor continually had his head jarred back by 1-2s, but his own work was all just glancing at best.
How are some people here giving this fight to him?? Work for his promoter like Andre Ward basically does?

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
solid scorecards imo and it literally came down to the wire In the final stanza with identical scorecards upto that point for 2 judges Howard Foster and Victor Loughlin with Catteral winning the round on the former's and Taylor taking it on the latter's thus splitting both cards
Rd 12 unofficially was the toughest Rd for me to mark down a score for since the 4th and along with the 10th the two hardest rds to score in the second half of the fight
judge Ian John Lewis split them had agreed with the other 2 judges on 10 of the 11 preceding rds minus the 4th and since I had marked it as competitive I didn't have an issue with either fighter winning it tbh
suffice to say had Catterall fought the middle minute of the final stanza like he finished it he may well have touched the stars that night close to being best at the weight division and could very well be top 3 In the UK for years to come if he gets the fights and doest dip mentally after that

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
So basically your argument isn't about clean punching, punches landed, knockdowns, etc......it's about what scores the judges had.
Common theme so far, none of the people who scored for Taylor even bother to say specifically why.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
lmao and the judges scoring didn't take into account "clean punches,punches landed, knockdown etc" but rather goals, offsides and VAR rulings right lol

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
Just repeating judges scores defeats the point of even scoring lol. Judges turn in crap all the time too anyway, if we go by their word we have to accept every awful decision.
Pretty obvious why people scoring for JT are so hesitant to try to make a case for him based on what actually happened in the ring.

Re: Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall
just repeating false narratives defeats the purpose of watching fights
"Judges turn in crap all the time too" if that is true lol all the more reason to have legit points of contention or point out in a reasonable way how or in which rounds they might have erred especially given the instances when we do get the benefit of accessing copies of the master scorecard one would think
actually you'd see bad arguments for both Catterall and Taylor winning I'm yet to see a legit argument however for a robbery tho one based on boxing realities of the night
solid scorecards and reasonable explanation by Robert Smith too
