Hopefully catterall gets the deserved victory this time. Completely schooled him the first time and one of the biggest robberies I've ever seen. Paddy power even payed out or payed back losing bets or something because the decision was that ludicrous. Catteralls style is a nightmare for anyone but particularly Taylor who likes people to have a tear up with him Weird to have it leeds though. Guess they think Manchester wouldn't fill. Lopez employed a similar counter punching style to beat him as well and showed he's learned nowt.
My guess is Manchester was seen as a home venue for Catterall (not far from Chorley) and neither fighter wanted it in the others backyard.
I wouldn't shut up in their shoes. It wasn't bad judging, it was a robbery, taking the mans chance to transform his life. Taylor compounded it with his subsequent graceless conduct. If Catterall and his team don't stand up for themselves noone else in this corrupt sport are going to do it for them and fans in general have memories akin to goldfish. In any case, if there's no robbery there's no reason for this fight to take place, so the more they push it the better it will likely do?
Leeds? I assume Warrington will be on this card to shift tickets, which would mean no Wood V Warrington 2.
Wood said yesterday that the city ground was off and he'd previously mentioned that he'd only fight Josh if it was at city. He probably sees more value in fighting Cordina. Would of liked to see another against Josh tbh.
I’ll go to this as Leeds is only 45 mins from me so I’d appreciate it if Matchroom could not put any women on the undercard.
You know what, fair enough. Especially on the last point. Very little to disagree with there. I’d still take great delight in seeing the result reversed because the way they went on, you’d think it was the only dodgy result in boxing history and even threw around accusations that should have gone to court - but somehow think we might be in for a repeat. Be interesting to see what the judging selection looks like.
