There’s been too many recently on both sides of the Atlantic but Callum Smith’s “win” over John Ryder stands out.
Smith was being prepared to take on Canelo and for him to lose that “stay busy” fight would have messed things up so the judges ensured that the “right” verdict was reached.

Taylor should hang his head in shame. Fair enough he didn't score it, but to come out and say he 'bossed it' with a straight face shows him up. I hope no one ever pays to watch one of his fights ever again.

He’s a cheating **** and knows it.

His legacy is gone now. No one will remember him for anything other than this.
 
Reply I sent to my brother last night.

I gave the 2nd round a draw n the 10th to Taylor all the rest for Catterall... Tbh I think I only gave the 2nd round a draw cos it was early, the dominance was clear to see from Catterall I've always been impressed by Catterall but always questioned his opposition... He made Taylor look like an absolute amateur tonight he struggled all the way through n looked mentally tired after 6 rounds looked more desperate as fight went on.
I can understand a 2 or even 3 round swing that a judge can get wrong on a bad night but that's beyond disgraceful.
Up there with robin Reid getting screwed for world title against Sturm in Germany n even beyond makes it worse that it was for undisputed title... I heard all the top rank bosses were there watching their boy Taylor... Defo must've had something to do with the decision the cheating cunts.
Taylor will defo avoid a rematch he knows he lost despite the shite that came out of his mouth, totally lost all respect for him for saying he thought he defo won n trying to say even Catterall knows he lost dickhead he is, you only need to see the fight totals n punch percentage to know who won n they don't do it justice how dominant he was.



I actually commented on the boxing thread last night about this was gobsmacked at the lack of comments, turns out there's two boxing threads on here for some stupid reason if someone could merge/delete the other one that'd be great... Even the judge who gave Catterall a close win is a disgrace it wasn't even close to being anything but a landslide win for Catterall.

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.

Again read the tread from the posts. for the fight i had Catterall winning the fight. I even referanced a fight from years back Alex Arthur v Michael Gomez. I said in some fights in there back yard you need to win bigger than what he won them by. It reminded me of a German fight where you knew going there you had to KO the champion to get the win. A top rank get out of free card is what i said. Top rank will want Taylor to fight Terence Crawford or one of there big stars in the weight above and it will more than likely happen. I honestly feel Josh will move up and give all the belts back thats the way he will go down as being 1 of the greats from the UK. Nothing to prove anymore in that division and if he is finding it hard to make weight then move up. He wont take on the rematch any time soon so its move up a weight.
 
For the big cards there is enough people scoring the points be it from Tv , Radio and even some of the papers to have a mix of a scoring panel to make sure that the right man wins. I would even say punches landed has to have some more of a say. If a fighter is peppered all night no way he should be getting the W.

I backed Catterall last night, not based on anything other than family connections in Chorley and the generous odds for an unbeaten fighter, wish I'd cashed out after the 8th round but just couldn't see where Taylor was going to redeem it.
Fuck the money though, gutted for Catterall.
 
App Eddie has said that he still expects usyk -Joshua to fight in April even though usyk is in kiev fighting a fucking war . Delusional again from Eddie Hearn .
