    Considering that Josh Taylor didn't look great when he fought Teofimo Lopez and Jack Catterall, who did a better job against Josh Taylor?

    Once it started going the wrong way, Taylor had no shot at turning around his fight against Lopez. The Catterall fight was a battle throughout. Lopez did the better job.

    I will say this though, Jack is slippery and better defensively than Taylor. He could pose a lot of issues for Teo.

    Jack is better all round. Would love to see a 4man with Teo, Prograis, J.Cat and Haney

    I scored both fights 9-3 so on the scorecards both did equally well.

    But Lopez being the harder puncher really put the hurt on Taylor, had they fought another round Lopez would of KO'ed him. Catterall in comparison frustrated and shut down Taylor with his counters and clinching.

    So Taylor struggled more with Lopez because he took so much more punishment even though he lost the same number of rounds.

    He's been terrible since his change of trainer.

    The fight I would love to see at 140 is Teofimo Lopez vs Jack Catterall to really figure out the man at 140

    Catteral by a wide margin. He had trouble laying a glove on Jack while he messed up Lopezs face.

    One of those I’d have to watch again back to back, hard to pick a decisive winner. He struggled equally bad in both that’s for sure.

    Teo didnt want to KO Taylor.

    I'm surprises that only me is commenting this fact. Teo refused to KTFO Taylor. I thinkt that in order to make him suffer in the ring, bad blood. (I dont know what they told each other before the fight, but Taylor fought as dirty as a scumbag, maybe it was only that what pissed Teo off, I don't know).

    It is EXTREMELY clear what happenend in the ring. Taylor's neck was total jelly at the end of round 10, completely unable to absorb more punishment at all, every clean punch was putting him with rag doll legs and Teo just stopped, stepped back and let them recover only to wobble him again.

    I dont like this kind of behavior either, but the way Taylor fought... he very well deserved that beating.

    Ofc Teo fight was harder to Taylor, not even close. Had Teo wanted, Taylor doesnt listen the final bell.

    PS: Imho that was a stupid mistake that would have costed him the fight, btw. Look at the judges' cards....

    Styles make fights. Even if Cat beats Teo, Prograis beats him imo.

    Prograis is southpaw. Teo is nuts, and he can fight like a complete idiot in the ring sometimes, but God knows that Teo knows how to fight a southpaw. Yesterday he did a perfect fight vs a southpaw, by the book. I wouldnt bet against Teo in a Teo vs southpaw fight, tbh.

    Cateral is even worse. Teo sends Cateral to the hospital. Different levels.
