Taylor v Catterall 2, 27th April, Leeds

Mr Hearn is seething.

 

Seems desperate for sky sports recognition which I don’t get if it’s “sold out”

 

Does go to show then that the hype for the fight has sold then especially after the dull first one.

 

And would have no doubt sold thousands more.
Controversy sells.

 

I think you might be right regarding Taylor. He definitely has needle and comes across like a bit of a twat.

That said, when was the last time we had a British boxer matched tough, bashing up all the top contenders on the way up and taking all the belts. He’s been our best fighter up to and including the Ramirez fight.

 

But Taylor was undisputed at that point, so why not ditch the belts and move up , as he'd been making noise about, instead of having a tricky defence against a slippery fighter, this after a bout with COVID, injury and a bad camp?

 

100% this

 

Fair points. Hindsight is a terrible thing!

 

In fairness he couldn't have predicted how badly the run-up would go and it wouldn't be undisputed if he'd postponed it, no doubt he'd have been stripped by at least one of the alphabets. Suspect his ego got in the way and assumed he'd get through it...

 

Not as terrible as Taylors 'foresight'

 

Oh dear oh dear
