    We saw the worst of Taylor with Ben Davison (same as we saw the worst of Fury and BJS with him). It'll be a much different fight this time around.

    Matchroom is the home of Women's Boxing and you will get a minimum of 2 women's 'fights' on the undercard.

    DAZN UK is also the home of women's football covering the Champions League, Spanish and Italian Leagues in addition to the Saudi Money League. I believe that it is nearly impossible to find even 2 of the 300 current DAZN UK subscribers watching the same match at the same time.

    Think Davison got harshly treated with the Taylor v Catterall fallout. He beat Ramirez under him. Davison didn’t make him balloon up in weight after and nor did he give Taylor covid, a chest infection or a knee injury that meant his weight cut for Catterall started way too late.

    If this was at 147 I'd expect a fit Taylor to win but he's blamed his last 2 performances on the weight and saying he needs to move up before remaining at the same weight. I'll still back him to get the job done but the weight excuse is wearing thin.

    Taylor has clearly sold out for 140lbs. Even do a catch weight. Hard to see him doing anything when he is so dead at the weight

    Would love Taylor to splatter that boring **** all over the ring, but can't see it. He's absolutely done at the weight and will most likely get his head boxed off in an ugly, frustrating fight.

    Yes, Catterall probably won the first fight.
    So ****. Get over it man.

    Baby benn Vs journey man.
    Calum smith Vs Ryder.
    Riakphore Vs journey man

    And whatever else. There's been tonnes of robberies and shocking decisions, but not one of them gets the stick like this. It's pathetic, I'm sick of this dick Caterall.

    There’s been loads mate. Campbell Hatton v Sonni Martinez, Zelfa Barrett v Kiko Martinez, Lewis Ritson v Miguel Vazquez etc. Sky glossed over them in 2 minutes afterwards. In fact, when Katie Taylor got a lucky decision the first time around against that Belgian copper, Johnny Nelson acknowledged she lost but said ‘sometimes you need a bit of luck’. The same pundits were screaming robbery and corruption after Taylor v Catterall and the common denominator was that Taylor wasn’t a Sky fighter whilst all the others were.

    Catterall has acted like a 12 year old for the last 2 years on Twitter, there’s not a day gone by where he isn’t tweeting about Taylor or replying to his tweets. I’d love to see the whiney arse splattered all over the canvas whilst Sam Jones and Jamie Moore cry the fookin whoppers.

    Taylor is completely done at that weight and I don't understand why he accepts the fight. Catterall is clear favorite to win the rematch.

    Agree mate. He keeps falling back into the trap of trying to rediscover his best days at 140. Top Rank don’t seem bothered with him anymore and he has no manager so there seems to be nobody giving him advice.

    No, you aren’t. Terrible fight stylistically and I can’t imagine many people watching it.

    Can’t see Warrington being on the bill. Or the arena would be empty for the main event as everyone would **** off home after Warrington has fought.

    Can see Ebanie Bridges, Price and possible Jack Bateson though.

    Nobody wants to see it. Holding it in Leeds backs that up.
    First fight was 2 years ago which was poor.
    Yes Jack was unfairly treated, but the crying ever since has been ridiculous.
    Taylor has been done at 140lb for a while. I hope he smashes Catterall but I doubt it at 140lb.

    Sky were doing this as a ppv.

    Dazn as part of their sub. This must be quite a big loss DAZN?
