Rewatching Taylor vs Catterall rbr

However - I'm assuming this was fought under British Boxing Board of Control rules, a very close round would often mean that the score should be 10-10, if its that hard to call....so your card would likely be a 114-114 draw.

 

I was there live and have since watched it back.

My card:

1 - Catterall
2 - Taylor
3 - Catterall
4 - Taylor
5 - Catterall
6 - Catterall
7 - Taylor
8 - Catterall (10-8)
9 - Taylor
10 - Taylor (10-8)
11 - Taylor 9-9 (Taylor point off)
12 - Taylor

113-112 Taylor.

 

One common thing I’ve noticed about close fights that’s either wrong or controversial is the person who should have won almost always give up the last 4 rounds..

Catterall should have took notes from Kambosos and close out the show to where they can’t take it from you. Castano did the same thing and I even remember Kovalev at the end did the first fight vs Andre Ward. I always call it live as I’m watching because I know what those scorecards are gonna look like afterwards.. Had Kambosos not finished as strong as he did he would have lost vs Lopez.
