    He is a quality southpaw and I think he is good to watch the thing that holds him back is that he takes an ultra cautious safety first approach. He does just enough to win the fights without taking any unnecessary risks and this is something he admits himself is a tactic. I would like to see how he responds when he is coming from behind, will he let the fight just slip away or can he move through the gears.

    Very. His last fight was one of the worst I’ve ever watched.

    3 of us fell asleep in Mayweather vs Marquez. I woke up half way through and woke the other two up.

    if Cateralls fights where at 5am I’d be falling asleep too though

    Most boring active fighter today outside of Shakur imo.
    Those 2 should fight = melatonin

    Yes but that second fight with Taylor was a classic

    Catterall is just a negative boxer.

    Boxing truly would be better off without Jack Caterall in it.

    Yep he is a spoiler. Horrible to watch and will NEVER make top dollar from the sport. I don't actually think he is very good either.

    His fight tonight was only around a third full....seems he ain't a ticket seller either

    He's a one trick pony. He has an exceptional left straight and a decent right check hook, but he's easy to figure out.

    If ever you needed clarity, this was it.

    Boring in the ring and out of it too.

    Super boring sans the rematch against Taylor. Low volume risk averse spoiler. Even in the first Taylor fight he held and spoiled an awful lot. He's right up there with Shakur and Hitchins for P4P most boring in the sport.
