Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall | Sky Sports - 26 February 2022

[stujones]

On a complete side I find it interesting that none of the YouTube lot have asked Hearns opinion on this match up/event....its like it is "off the table " to even mention

[ShadrachSimmo]

Catterall has it all to prove.

I wonder if a lot of holding is going to be employed by Catterall.

The jump up in levels is ridiculous to be honest, but as we all know...we've seen it happen before.

I just cannot see what he can do to withstand a Taylor onslaught or diffuse him for 12 rounds, while landing more scoring punches.

Can anybody make a realistic case for Catterall

No. It’s a guy who’s just above British level vs a 4 belt champion. It’s a bit of a mismatch really. I’d expect Taylor to finish it within 6 rounds. But you never know could be a decent fight if Cateralls at his top dollar best.

[rd350lc]

Love me an underdog .
C'mon Jack .
The only way I can see him winning if Taylor has boiled himself down so much he's drained .
Big iff though and a massive ask .

[Ruthless-RKO]

Catterall said he has gained valuable experience sparring Mayweather and Canelo.

Put a fiver on him then
Folks saying Taylor looked drained, I thought he looked just like his other weigh ins.

I don't bet mate , I've seen first hand what havoc it can wreak on family life .
I thought he looks awful and there was nothing behind his voice at the presser , sounded weak as a kitten .
Surely his last fight at this weight .

Taylor with his faux hard man approach at the weigh in with the face off.
Catteral handled it well.
Taylor looks gaunt.
Might be his last fight at 140lbs.

Josh seems to genuinely dislike all his opponents and surely as the undefeated undisputed champion of the world there’s nothing faux about his hard man demeanour

Looks fake to me.

BRITISH BEEF!!

They had to make something off it because of the whole England vs. Scotland.

Only folk who ever give a fornicate about the Scotland v England things are the English based promoter who have no imagination, and a few weirdo types on here

If you believe the “gentle to mental” stance then you’ll believe that I wipe the shite off my chin every time I open my mouth.
Can’t wait until he tries to put his head on Crawford and gets spanked out.
Taylor is a bully and will change when he comes up against an elite fighter.
He will be humble before he’s humbled.
Great fighter though.

Good interview with Jack in BN, what a nice lad. Too nice ? maybe not ….John Evans the writer is one of the best uk writers on the scene these days …

Sam Maxwell in same issue says Jack has the power to hurt anyone - that doesn’t sound very accurate ?!

Jamie Moore gets in a few nice digs on boxercise Ben ..

Josh looks starved on the scales

Just finished the Catterall article. I’m amazed he didn’t get any step aside money when Taylor fought Ramirez. He also talks about having to keep an eye on his money and taking odd days work recently. For someone who’s been number 1 in the world with the WBO for near 3 years I think it shows how poorly he’s been managed/promoted since.

Yeh I don’t understand why he didn’t get step aside cash, makes no sense - why step aside otherwise ??

Great fighter but a bully? Sounds legit mate

Exactly. Like Taylor himself said he has tons of fans in England as well who recognise he’s the best UK fighter out there.

Yeh,, Top Rank was supposed to pay him, cus he was Ramirez's mandatory.

Being at the top of the WBO meant he was guaranteed a mandatory shot soon.. So he just sat on that hasn't he..

Which isn't good because he hasn't been active. He's 28 years old too.

Keeping an eye on his money yeh.. What's his highest purse you reckon? A couple of £100k's?

Thought MTK were supposed to be the best management company.

[handsofstone]

Catterall got some good domestic wins, Hughes, Stalker, Nurse, Davies and McKenna but too much fodder in-between and spells of inactivity, Taylor has one of the best resumes in the country if not THE best

One thing I will say about Catterall is that he always looks like he has more levels in him, hopefully for his sake he can bring it out on the night but Taylor smashes him to pieces for me and Catterall will look back and ask questions if he was prepared for this fight matchmaking wise

[Ruthless-RKO]

ALERT!!

Just thought i'd let you guys know..

Looks to be an early card than usual..

ALERT!!

https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/1 ... an-i-watch

Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall’s ring-walks will be at 8.40pm on Saturday night at the earliest.

But

Robeisy Ramirez will showcase his skill against Eric Donovan - due to begin at 8.25pm at the earliest.

So, I think, add in the two swing bouts, which are a 4 rounder and a 4/6 rounder.. Might look at ring walks being between 9pm to 10pm..

Just thought i'd share it. Don't want anyone looking for a stream at 10 and we're half way through the fight.

It's on Showcase as well from 7 pm.

I'll post the RBR later on around 4pm.

ALERT!!
