Who deserved to win Catterall-Taylor II?

I didn't see the last 3 rounds. Thought Taylor pulled it close after a 2 round rally and built momentum. Catterall was superior in several categories but coasted a lot and allowed Taylor to work. Catterall would win his rounds big

 

Clear Caterall victory.

 

I’m Scottish, had catterall 1 up maximum. Commentary was disgraceful every shot catterall landed they went crazy whilst Taylor landed loads of shots especially to the body and it went unmentioned.

 

I was replying to your question, obviously you care otherwise why ask it?

 

I think he had a senior moment. I was waiting for him to yell "GET OFF MY LAWN". LOL

 

Taylor lost.

 

The point is that clean punching is the most important criteria for scoring a round. All of the other aspects of scoring are secondary.

 

You just made that up, it doesn't. You should perhaps refresh yourself of the rules on scoring if you think that's the case.

 

Cat eon fair and square and Arum knows it too.

 

Catterall landed the cleaner punches and looked the more skilled, especially in the first half of the fight. Taylor outworked Catterall in the 2nd half of the fight; with a lot of rounds most people would give to Taylor on sheer work rate. I feel like the fight could have been a draw or a win for Catterall by 1-2 round. Catterall will lose the big fights going forwards just on low work rate alone. It’s a shame as he’s pretty highly skilled. Matias would outwork him every round and someone like Haney would potshot him from a distance all night. He needs to up his work rate big time. him cruising the 2nd half of the Taylor fight rather stupid unless he knew the fix was definitely in regardless.

 

Feels like there's a huge amount of bias towards either fighter depending on where your from. The English fans were pissed off after the first result(rightly so) and are determined to over compensate with this fight which was pretty close. The Scottish fans and a significant percentage of Americans are more in favour of Taylor. As a Scottish person I understand how biased Scots can be over their sportsmen.
The UK commentary in both fights was a disgrace and completely pro caterall and anti taylor. Alot of casual fans are swayed by this and end up feeling their fighter won more clearly than he might have. It's interesting that some of the American commentators had Taylor winning the fight.
Perhaps a final fight in neutral territory with foreign judges could happen in the future although I think Taylor looks a shadow of the fighter he once was.

 

Actually there is no unified scoring criteria so for their last fight there is no absolute rule set. This fight was fought under the BBBoC therefore the main criteria with no belts on the line is clean punching as quoted in the BBBoC scoring criteria 3.31 bullet point 2.

 

I'm Scottish, I had it 116-112.

1. Catterall 10-9
2. Catterall 20-18
3. Taylor 29-28
4. Catterall 39-37 3-1 Catterall
5. Catterall 49-46
6. Catterall 59-55. 5-1 Catterall
7. Taylor 68-65
8. Taylor 77-75. 5-3 Catterall
9. Catterall 87-84 very close 6-3 Catterall
10. Taylor 96-94. 6-4 Catterall
11. Catterall 106-103 7-4 Catterall
12. Catterall 116-112

9th is the main swing round could have either been a Taylor round or a 10-10. Still the right man won.

 

It sounds like you want to be argumentative just for the sake of it.

 

Idk if Bob does lol, dude is so old does he really know what’s going in on and is he really able to assess a fight?
