    By the way Cruz is a very good fighter and there is a reason your crush Ryan Crybaby Garcias swerved a contest with him.

    The prograis fight was razor close and a case could be made for prograis winning, this fight wasn't as close because Jack clearly beat Taylor. He clearly beat Ramirez though.

    No I'm giving you my honest opinion and it's one which is shared by many. Scored it for Twink the first time but when I watched it again I couldn't believe how much of his work the oompa loompa blocked with his gloves. Even his HL moment shots during the biased PBC replays in between rounds were blocked. Oompa loompa landed the real clean eye catching shots and that was despite all the excessive illegal holding, stiff-arming and fouling by Twink all night.

    Catterall's stock has definitely risen - before although unbeaten he had never fought at the highest level, and - even though he was robbed - he has shown that he belongs there - regardless of whether anything was awry with Taylor, I prefer to give El Gato credit for a great defensive display, negating Taylor, who got frustrated and started smothering his own work.

    well, the truth is that he is not a top 5 p4p fighter.

    The problem with JT is he now thinks he is a puncher and wants to go to war with everyone.

    Taylor seemed weight-drained at the weigh-in, that's probably why his performance was below par.

    He needs to move up to 147.

    His resume is too deep.

    What's more likely is that Catterall is better than we thought, and Taylor was tight at the weight.

    Awful decision, but Taylor is legit, he's already proven himself.

    114 points in this fight when he was droped once and deducted a point.

    Man... that has no possible defence. That's corruption.

    Not sure about that actually. Davis isn't quite as slippery and negative as Catterall. He'd get over aggressive and give Taylor plenty of opportunities to land counters. Catterall did as well as he did because he was defensive from beginning to end. Even the knockdown was iffy, when you watch the replay of it, yes.. he went down and it was legit, still he was bending over when he got hit, which caused him to lose his balance and toppling over, then he was hit again when off balance. So it's not a sigh Taylor is now all of a sudden chinny and that was a drained badly compromised version or Taylor.
