    I didn't realise this is Saturday night. Thought the first one was one of the worst robberies I've ever seen. Was that bad the bookies have me my money back which I've never ever experienced before it since. Skilled Counter punchers seem to be a big problem for Taylor as seen against caterall and the Lopez.

    Taylor surely can't be that bad again or maybe it's caterall style that gives him fits. I need to see how this one starts but what does everyone else reckon?

    Would say Taylor as you’ve said he won’t be as bad as the first fight. And Catterall is overrated… the first fight was due to Taylor being shite.

    But Taylor’s inactivity and is far past his best so that’s going to even the contest out.

    Stoppage by either man.

    I'm going to this, Leeds is only 45 mins from me.

    No idea what Taylor has left but doesn't seem to live the life since Ramirez and has had quite a few injuries. This eye procedure is a worry as I doubt he's sparred much.

    Don't think Catterall is any good. It's more about what Taylor has left rather than how good Catterall is.

    I'm looking forward to it. I couldn't predict a winner with much confidence, but I do think Taylor at his best beats Catterall at his best, just has that bit more spite in his punches. But he doesn't look right to me at interviews, press conferences etc, always looks a bit under the weather, possibly due to long spells out the gym.

    I thought Taylor was poor first fight but I also thought Caterall boxed brilliantly as well which shouldn’t be forgotten.

    I do tend to agree that the best Taylor beats Caterall but dunno if the best Taylor is still available. It’s crazy how long this fight has taken to get made.

    It all depends how Taylor looks on the scales for me. If he’s made the weight well then I’d back him to win.

    Said on here before, I know someone, who's friendly with Taylor's mates and has actually met him a few times. He absolutely doesn't live the life.

    A 75% percent Taylor that fought Barynchk, Prograis, Ramirez etc would wipe out Catterall inside 6. Be a one sided beat down, however my worry is he's shot to bits. Been in too many wars and doesn't live the life.

    Can't stand Catterall, greeting faced *******, hope Taylor rolls back the years and destroys him.

    Same. Proper whiney arse. Him and Sam Jones are perfect for each other.

    Would love Taylor to batter him. Send him and his awful style back to the small hall shows so we never have to hear him whinging again.

    Not heard anyone talking about this fight apart from on here. If ever a fight needed Sky it's this one.

    Sam Jones for me is the guy I hate most in boxing. Genuinely can't put in to words how much I absolutely despise him. I'd refuse to be part of any show that he's near, starve him of a living.

    Catterall isn't man enough to admit that the best Josh Taylor beats him ten times outta ten. He must know himself, this fight is only even slightly debatable because Taylor struggles at the weight and is shot.

    Taylor sadly looks like a has been.
    Catterall is a never was or will be.

    Yes hidden away on Deadzone UK is not good in fight week.

    I reckon less than 200 from the 267 current subscribers will watch along with Jack Catterall's budgie subscribing for the month at £24.99.

    Hopefully Josh gives him a good pasting.

    Don't get me going on that utter weasel. The blokes almost 40 with dyed hair & beard. I'm not a violent person but I'd absolutely love to wallop him. Why any Youtube outlet wants to get his thoughts on a fight every Sunday morning is beyond me.

    Have to back Taylor here; when on song he is great to watch, even if outside the ring his character is a bit questionable. Catterall on the other hand could bore a monk to suicide with his boxing, and outside the ring he comes across as a self pitying moaner. If Taylor has put in the graft and makes weight comfortably then I think he has the pedigree to outwork Catterall for a decision; however that is a big if given Taylor's recent form.
