    Was there a knockdown? Or do you mean the annoying repeated headbutts or rugby tackle instead of knocking ur opponent down with a punch.

    I had round 2 even but if I had to give it to one, it'd have been Catterall.

    Are you gonna ignore when he landed a big left counter on josh and hurt him badly? Did you watch the fight?

    Do you hate Cat really or are you just mad he beat Taylor?

    Hey man, she was sexy as hell, basically wearing nightgowns on DWTS.:sisi1 I'm going to watch Stage 20 of the Giro D'Italia instead. Which is basically the Tour De France, in Italy.

    Good to see someone other than me who is not afraid to score rounds even.

    oh that was a good shot, but he didn’t knock him down. You said he did. Or are u making things up?

    I never watched cat before, I’m Just shocked at how poor he is. He has no business with Haney, matias etc.

    Even rounds are a cop out and should be rare.

    I've seen Jezreel fight a couple of times but it was years ago and I don't remember anything about those fights or his style now.

    Catterall's style is awkward, sneaky, and I find it dishonourable.

    Yes he's too conservative and when he does attack it's in a sneaky way, kind of like sucker punching someone while they're taking their jacket off before the fight actually starts. He also held and spoiled an awful a lot in the first fight.

    I was talking about when he knocked him down in the first fight.

    Cat absolutely can compete with Haney and Matias. Do I favor him? No, but they would be competitive.

    I’m also suprised how a man of Taylor’s calibre is struggling with a domestic level fighter (he boxes like a domestic fighter) he has declined. He should finish guys like this

    Lmfaooo, you gotta give him some credit, it is sneaky and sucker punch like, it’s hard to predict his punches.

    I'm assuming he meant the KD in the 1st fight.

    To me it's apparent that Taylor does not have the same punch resistance at 140 he had 3/4 years ago. I just can't fathom why he's overstayed his welcome at 140 for so long

    It’s because Taylor relies a **** load on his physicality. Hes lost that at 140, would David Benavidez be as good as he is now without his physical advantages?

    Not really. There are many rounds where both men either do enough to win the round or not enough to win it. Round 12 was arguably another, probably tip it Josh's way but in reality their work cancelled each others out....why should you unfairly score a round for a fighter?
