Surprised at the love he's receiving of late. I know he's got a fair bit of sympathy from the Taylor fight but he's got to be the dirtiest fighter we've had in a while. Awful style and dreadful to watch. Darragh Foley - 1 point deducted for hitting whilst down Josh Taylor - 1 point deducted for holding, should have had 1 off for hitting whilst down Tyrone McKenna - 1 point deducted for hitting whilst down Gabriel Fernando - 1 point deducted for hitting back of head Gabriel Fernando - 1 point deducted for throwing opponent Not to mention the constant holding he does in every round of every fight.
mate what does being dirty fighter have to do with folk not loving ypu mike tyson was dirtiest boxer going and he was most loved he bit folks ears tried to break arms low blows rabbit power punches hit after bell hitting round referee hitting referee standing on feet of opponent he did the whole lot nobody cared seems you can get away with it if your good entertaining enough
That's the thing Jim, he's not entertaining, in fact he's awful to watch. Tyson was a KO machine for most of his career.
I think the answer is in your first sentence. He's attracted sympathy due to being blatantly robbed of what should've been a life changing victory. I don't think there's been a mass outbreak of love for his fighting style, just recognition that he was badly served by the corrupt paymasters that ruin the sport. As for the dirty fighter charge, it didn't really get much traction because Taylor's by no means the cleanesst fighter either. In that fight it was pretty much horses for courses.
hes taylors biggest fan mate hes still pissed of by folk saying taylor got gift lol good fella but loves taylor
Just can’t believe what I’m reading Jim, Hearn and co talking about him being the next big ticket seller at Manchester Arena after Hatton and Crolla. Couldn’t sell a phone box out with a style like that.
He’s not the most entertaining but at the end of the day it’s a fight. My boy was in a BJJ competition on Saturday and was head butted and took a knee to the face. He kept going and moaned at the end as even at age 11 he knows it’s a fight and things happen.
Caterall isn't a dirty fighter lol. Didn't see the Fernando fight but those other guys made it ugly for him at times and both guys were at it, no mention of Taylor hitting him behind the head like half a dozen times? Or Foley swinging about 5 seconds after the bell?
he wiull never be biggest ticket seller mate your right about that he will never be a fan fav hes all ready 30 odds he was robbed his crowning moment what a shame
