Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall 4/2/23

[Primo Carnera]

No mention yet of the weight that they will fight at?

Yeah, I thought Catterall won the first fight very clearly. Outthought, outsmarted, outpunched snd outfought a seriously emancipated and weight drained Taylor. After all the hype at Taylor’s undisputed status I was pretty disappointed in him.

He showed decent bottle as he did look like a skinny wreck in there.

I too will be very interested in what weight the rematch will be fought at.

Taylor was so much like the traditional stereotypical Scottish fighter ….. very good solid technique, tough as teak but without a big knockout punch (due to their style)

Have to empathise with Catterall on the first result, but what was he thinking staying out of the ring all year waiting for a rematch that was far from a certainty?

Johnny Nelson believes Josh Taylor will knock out Jack Catterall as he will have learned from his mistakes in their first fight.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I don’t think lightning is going to strike twice, I think Taylor will do him.

“I think that opportunity has gone now, the art of surprise that Catterall had on Taylor was then, it’s gone now, which is a shame for Catterall.

“Taylor’s got to prove that he messed up and can beat Catterall. Now he’s hurting more.

“It reminds me of Carl Froch and George Groves. Groves shocked Froch in the first fight, but then Carl did his homework, put the work in, and showed he was the better fighter.

“It’s not so much about the time between the fights, but the first fight has given Taylor a chance.

“He was very lucky, he made a mistake and underestimated Catterall, thinking it was going to be really easy, so now he’s learnt a lesson and still kept his belts.”
