It's a close fight so hard to call this one a robbery either way, but I think Catterall won, again. Wouldn't mind seeing a third.

Very, very close.
I think Catterall just edged it, I had rounds 4 & 10 being very close and hard to call, could swing either way this.

3rd fight needed I feel.
I had it even after 10 with Catterall nicking the last two to make it 115 - 113, can't see those 117 scores

Entertaining fight but Taylor's best days are behind him, he could not impose himself on Catterall and took some eye catching shots.
Third fight maybe? who knows..

Yes even with my bias I could only give Taylor 4/5 rounds with any certainty. I couldn't see it at 9-3 but it was a Catterall win.
Defensively Catterall is very good. Very awkward to hit with his side on stance.
I don't see any point in a third fight. That's three in a row where Taylor hasn't looked near his previous level. He had no power at the weight and whilst his engine was good he's effectively lost his last three fights. I don't like Catterall but Eddie needs to try and get him a big fight for a title to see if he is genuine at world level. A rematch makes no sense for him. The problem I think Hearn will have is that no-one will want to fight Catterall. Not because he's that good but he's horrible to fight.
I hope Catterall goes on to face one of the other big names quite soon and not have too much of a gap. His jab looked really strong.
Taylor did not look the fighter he was, but how much of the performance was down to the improvement in Caterall and his determination to right the wrong. Catterall is a royal pain in the arse to deal with.
But no doubt Taylor is still a class fighter and has enough in the tank to continue. He just needs stay disciplined and off the sauce.

Hmm, not so sure that I agree with the article, it was close enough to understand why he'd want to do it again, especially as it's his first professional loss. If find it odd if he didn't want to. I think he'll probably lose again but you never know.Tyson Fury's Stubborn Pursuit Of A Rematch With Usyk - Boxing News 24

He dragged his feet to fight Usyk in the first place so I would not be surprised if he took his time if ever, you just never know with flip flop Fury.

Happy to see Tyson get beat again unless he seriously changes his game plan and also gets rid of his Dad from the build up and his corner.
