Catterall's performance versus Taylor is exactly what we thought it was... A fluke. Is he top 20? Sure, but he couldn't put away a shopworn, slomo, and chinny Linares who was dusted by Little Loma 4 years ago. He gets trounced by any top 5 in LWW.. Disclaimer: I am good part Scottish lol
Or... Catterall lost his fire when he got screwed over and robbed of his dreams and he no longer cares. I mean what else is going to do that earns him this kind of money now?
Our good boxing sports bettor Midnite Prowler predicted this pre fight, backed and cashed it. In all honesty, did you think Linares would get K.O'd? A unaminous points victory seemed the number 1 pick imo.
Ok so granted I took a guess and got the right pick but I don't know **** about Linares anymore. I just looked up his record and he has suffered several K.O defeats. But it's boxing. This **** happens all the time. In any sport you sometimes see a great team barely beating a **** team. Or even losing. Big whoop.
I dunno about that stylistically he's a bad match up for Teo. Teo does best against guys that come to him, guys that sit back and box him like Kambosos and Sandor give him fits as he ends up chasing them and abandoning his counter punching style. I actually think Catterall beats him if they ever fight, much like how he disarmed Taylor he does the same to Teo, albeit in a more competitive fight. Catterall doesn't have a fan friendly style with his counter punching, he needs an aggressive fighter to make him look good, that's pretty evident. He needs to learn that winning alone won't bring him opportunities, he needs to look good doing it and learn to turn the screw on an opponent he is dominating and not just keep doing the same tedious thing over and over again until the final bell.
Hey leave Jack alone ! I bet on this going the distance and he did what I thought he'd do. I don't think that highly of him which is why I didn't think he'd stop a 38 year old former champion who had lost 3 in a row.
