    Looks like the consensus is Catterall on points.

    I wouldn't be surprised, or disappointed, if that's the eventual outcome.

    Ended up watching it and very glad I did. Great fight between two bitter rivals. Not much between them still. Fight could've been a draw, but the reverse fix was in for Catterall.

    He won rematch but should have been undisputed. Can't make up for that

    You are out of your mind. Did you even watch the fight?
    Catterall has Taylor hurt multiple times and very badly hurt in round 11.
    He beat the snot out of Taylor. Oh but " the fight could have been a draw"
    No. No way. Sorry, not sorry.

    Cat won it, but the score cards were a joke.

    I agree, I thought Catterall won the fight but 117-111 was waaaay off. I thought he took it by about 3 points

    Catterall won 8-4. A 117-111 score is 9-3, which is only a round off.

    "Waaayyyy off" is a huge exaggeration.

    He won one round less than 9. So how is it "waayyyy off"?

    Should be no outrage now. Taylor got beaten by a very clear margin.

    Well, more controversy.

    I suppose, the next question is will they have a decider?

    Is there any appetite among the public for that?

    I also don’t see the huuuuuge outrage over 117-111. Had it 116-113 personally, scored 7 rounds clear for Jack and 3 clear for Josh with 2 even rounds….could’ve been scored even or given either way, maybe bit harsh but I can see why 117-111 would be given. Josh left too many rounds in the balance by letting Catterall off the hook.

    No point, Catterall has won 2/2 conclusively and proven he’s the better boxer at this stage of their careers and really needs to be allowed the same opportunities Taylor was afforded earlier in his career.
