Methinks the Tornado knows he won't get a bigger payday after the massive PR bonanza of Lewis-gate and he has to give Catterall a second opportunity before moving on. Make it happen.
https://www.heraldscotland.com/spor...ht-u-turn-contentious-victory-jack-catterall/ Personally i think that fight is always going to be a stinker, not sure their styles gelled well, and while Taylor was obviously off, not sure that El Gato is still not a slippery eel for him. Styles makes fights
No shade against Taylor because it was a great fight, but Prograis has gotten stronger since then. I think Taylor knows that.
I think it deserves a rematch, Taylor knows there will always be an Asterix with regards to Catterall if he doesn't rematch.. The fight will be huge this time as well because of all the fallout and will do big numbers here in the UK.. it makes sense… The only problem is Taylors struggle with 140…& i'm also still not convinced that Davison is the right fit as well… but I think he knows his reputation has taken a little bit of a hit, so will be motivated this time.. Caterall deserves another shot.
Stronger? Based on what? Fighting lacklustre opposition? His run since Taylor is **** poor… an inactive Redkach who was coming off a loss and who's basically a career lightweight & Tyrone McKenna.. come on now.. Taylor's last 3 opponents were all undefeated .. one of which was unified champion.. By the way I watched that fight again recently and thought Taylor deserved the win.
Opposition wasn't the best but he's hungry. He's a workhorse. Not saying Taylor isn't but Regis has more of a skillset than what he showed against Taylor. He let Taylor draw him in a dogfight. That is not Prograis's bread and butter. I had it a draw but wasn't upset Taylor got the nod.
Taylor can't make the weight anymore. Time for him to move up and on, and find a new trainer while he's at it.
Catterall deserves a rematch or at least a decent payday or shot at some "interim" or "universal " or whatever belt. Taylor might not be able or willing to stay at 140. Also looking for bigger fish to fry.
