Round-by-Round: Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall II - 25 May 2024

[Boxingguru75]

Great fight! I had it 6-6. Scores wide but in fairness Cat won the first one and was robbed.

[KiwiRider]

Finally!
We have had some brilliant fights already this year, that was another one

[Delta Jay]

Always had a soft spot for Chorley. Cool place, nice people. Hard bastards, good workers and a terrible team

[jwfg]

9-3 ish is correct. fornicate coms were terrible at the end there pretending it was even.

I have no idea why they have four commentators. Mike Costello and Andy Lee are excellent. No need for Barry Jones and Darren Barker.

[rd350lc]

Better effort this time from Taylor and loses wider .

Funny old game, scorecards bit wide for me but the right winner.

[Deserter]

Dead level. Catterall was outworked in too many rounds

If you’re scoring punching air and arms and ignoring Cat’s jabs snapping Taylor’s head back maybe.

But who would go "OOOH" every time a punch lands ?

ESPN Comms were great for this one. I think I prefer US commentary in UK fights as they're less biased and buy into our media narratives less.

[margaret thatcher]

cat deserved it, but jeez he can still frustrate. rocks taylor to his boots, and 30 seconds later is backpeddling and holding

[NoScoutingReports]

That’s the way I saw it. Good watch.

Not even into June yet, either. More to come.

[skanksta]

Ohhh !

Bob's stirring things up !!

[jameswilson]

Bob Arum absolutely off his head on edibles.

BOB

[rd350lc]

Boxing is in a good place now to be fair .

[Boxerbeetle]

Bob getting some cheap heat there

[jameswilson]

Jesus that bump on Taylor's head.

[Deserter]

Bob Arum showcasing why he needs to be put in a home

[KiwiRider]

Taylor was just a fraction out with his timing and Catterall seemed to know every time Taylor was going to launch his big left.
Catterall had some lovely combinations, and a single/double/triple jab that couldn't miss. He also pulled off that Andre Ward short overhead strike, then tuck under Taylors arm perfectly.
Some nice edd and flow between them, Taylor showed a lot of grit in the championship rounds.
No belts for Catterall but a big redemption.

In some rounds nowhere near all. I thought Jack pissed the first fight but struggled the last half of this one.

[Cyclops]

Why, what's Bob said? I've turned it off.

[rd350lc]

Catterall has some sublime skills but it's all one paced .

[Deserter]

Pleasantly surprised by Taylor’s post-fight comments.

That's my favourite bit.

Disagree with that like, BJ is the best pundit and commentator out there these days
