The Boxing thread

If I thought the Campbell Hatton decision was a shocker I stand corrected. This is a fucking, robbery Dick Turpin would have been proud of

shocking decision, don't think ive ever seen such a bent result

catterall clearly won that bout, i mean one of the refs gave it 114-111to taylor, scandalous

has to be a enquiry and a rematch but i fear taylor will move up a level

That was with being docked a point too
 
Stopped being a big fan of boxing years ago, still watch the occasional fight.

I didn't watch last night but I've seen a lot of reactions sympathising with Catterall, I don't one bit. You can be rest assured that if it were the other way about and Taylor clearly won the fight but the victory was awarded to Catterall, he wouldn't have gave a shit either.

This happens ridiculously often in boxing and I'm yet to see the person who's been awarded the win hold their hands up and admit they got absolutely battered and don't agree with the decision.

A sport run by cheats with competitors happy to lap it up if it suits their own progression.

It’s all a bit too much WWE these days I’m afraid from the faux aggression at weigh in to sell tickets and make money to the bent results that no doubt are also rigged for money.

I said that Catterall had to win the rounds big and he didnt manage to win it as big as he needed. A rematch. I dont think Taylor will take the fight he will move up in weight.

You're not seriously suggesting that Catterall didn’t do enough to win that fight comfortably. If you are, you're in a tiny group, along with the two judges and the anti-English Scots out there.

Horrendous decision. Even though it's a bit hypocritical of us to get on our moral high horse after yesterday!

We had one decision go in our favour. That fight last night was like a team winning 8-4 in a cup final being told at the final whistle the other team has been given the trophy.

That is all well and good but the one judge that gave him the fight really scored it a draw if you put back the point Taylor was docked, so in reality not one judge thought Catterall was the outright winner and that is the biggest joke of all.

I am now done with Boxing and F1 bar City I am all but done with football as well, not a lot left out there for me now lol

Fair point. Different levels of highway robbery, I guess. At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask! Last night was absolutely scandalous. And the brass neck on Taylor, claiming he'd done enough to win the fight.
 
Not watched the fight yet but can’t remember as much anger over a decision for a long time
 
You could take people with no knowledge of boxing, show them that fight and I bet 99% would say Catterall won. For two supposed knowledgeable judges to not come to that decision is frankly ludicrous and bent.
