https://boxing-social.com/news/taylor-catterall-rematch-set-for-november/ November 26 apparently. Not seen any other confirmations yet, but i think this was really the best option for Taylor. Whilst he was most definitely out of sorts in the first fight, I have a sneaking suspicion that Catterall is just a bad style match up for him, and expect the rematch to be another spolifest, but hope that its a much more exciting higher quality bout. Josh might get some stick for it being back in Scotland, but Catterall does have his chance to put it beyond any doubt
Awful decision first time round. Wonder if it was an off night, or if Cat is able to repeat the trick.
In theory Taylor could make the adjustments But i saw Catterall take it to a 6'1 Southpaw and he enjoyed it, so does Taylor really have what it takes to outbox Catterall for the majority of the fight ? I don't believe he does. I think Catterall has his number, but we'll see
Can Taylor make adjustments? I've always seen him as a very basic boxer who just used his size and physically overwhelm fighters up close but Catterall never allowed him to do what he normally does and get inside by using his shoulder and forearm to push him off to create space and then counter. If Taylor is to win, his normal style will not work, he either needs to learn to win on the outside and use his height for once or find a way to take away Catterall's shoulder/forearm defence when up close. I'm picking Catterall to repeat his performance and this time win the decision or again get robbed on the cards. I just don't think Taylor has the ring IQ or ability to adjust to be able to win fairly.
Yeah I think Taylor has to take it and fair play if he does.Agree about the style and if Catterall can shut him down up close it probably goes the same way as the 1st.
He outboxed him for at least of the rounds the first time. Remember, Josh got a bull**** point deduction and a questionable knockdown scored against him. He'll be fine.
