I hope this is Taylor’s last fight at the weight

Well said.

 

Upsets are always possible but I think Taylor would have to be severely below form for Catterall to stand a chance. Catterall has decent skills and on another day could be capable of winning a world championship but I think stylistically Josh will have little trouble finding the target and think Catterall will be stopped.

 

I feel the same, this has echoes of Teofimo vs Kambosos all over again.

Catterall has a similar sort of resume as Kambosos going into the fight (wins at continental level but unproven at world level) and a similarly deceptively-low KO ratio of around 50%. Also, Taylor is less of a puncher than Teofimo is.

Like Teofimo-Kambosos, Taylor-Catterall was also delayed. Catterall has nothing to lose, he knows this is his big shot, and the delay may have made him hungrier and more focused.

Catterall may not win, but he has a much better chance than the bookmakers are giving him.

 

Oh well

 

I said I was getting Lopez Kambosos vibes. Taylor very tight at the weight and looking past Catterall. He had a knee injury which stopped training for a while which meant his weight cut started late. I saw a video of him next to Crawford in Dubai about 6 weeks back and he looked huge next to him.
