    would be better if they had quality over quantity. This and a British or commonwealth title fight plus maybe a new heavyweight on the scene and that would’ve been fine

    Not sure why Jay keeps getting opportunities, Dave Allen on crack.

    Taylor is always supremely confident. I thought Catterall came across well too though to be honest. Calm and confident. Didn’t bite at Taylor when Josh was going at him, but didn’t back down either. I think the fight will be one sided but Catterall believes in himself

    I'm going on Saturday. Don't know a lot about Catterall tbh. Sounds like he is all round very good but not particularly great at anything. Other than exceptional heart and chin that won't be enough to beat Taylor who has special attributes. Guess we'll see Saturday.

    Also looking forward to seeing Scott Forrest, Mark McKeowan (Sparky) and Craig MaCintyre on the undercard although not sure what there opposition will look like. Hopefully the heavyweight clash with Campbell and Jay is entertaining but you never know with big lads. Depends what shape they are both in of course.

    The funniest part of this was when Taylor casually called Catterall the C word because of a comment he made about him pulling out with an injury.

    Overall it wasn’t the best gloves are off because Catterall was very subdued and only Taylor had a bit of fire in him.

    Taylor looks supremely confident.

    Catterall has a contrasting disposition to Taylor, but the more I see of him the more he looks resigned to defeat. I honestly get the impression that he feels like he has no chance. He will probably be more than satisfied with a points defeat.

    Taylor looks absolutely drained at the weigh in. Catterall looks very good/healthy at the weight and looks to be embracing the occasion. Slightly narrowed the distance I feel looking at that weigh in but still expect Taylor.

    Catterall is naturally a quiet bloke whereas Taylor loves to take a bit of needle into a fight - particularly on fight week - to get himself revved up.

    Ha ha ha, he certainly looks like he had the garlic sizzler alright.

    Taylor looks ****ed at that weight. I'm sure he'll rehydrate and look fine tomorrow, but you'd have to imagine making that weight isn't good for him anymore. He looks like a junkie

    Just hope it isn’t one fight too far at 140 for Taylor. Fair enough he wants to defend all his belts in Scotland but not for the sake of crashing at weight.
