By: Hans Themistode

A look of despair and uncertainty appeared on Josh Taylor’s face after 12 tough rounds against Jack Catterall.

Rated as a significant favorite during their February 26 game, most expected Taylor to jump over the rope and dazzle his hometown crowd at the SSE Hydro. However, Catterall refused to simply lie down.

The undefeated former contender stood defiant in the face of the undisputed £140 title and did as he wanted. In addition to knocking out Taylor in long stretches, Catterall successfully knocked out his man in the 1/8 round. Although he was stripped of a point for holding on to too much, Catterall shouted with enthusiasm as the final seconds officially passed.

After the best performance of his career, Catterall believes his world championship dream is just a step away from reality.

However, Catterall was destroyed when Taylor was announced as the winner. Initially, Taylor was disparaged when criticized and controversial. Taylor, 31, initially believed that Catterall had won no more than a handful of rounds. However, after revisiting his TV show and re-watching their contest multiple times, Taylor admits that after further analysis, although he still believes the right person won, Catterall’s decision will also be fair.

“I can understand why people think Jack won,” Taylor said in an interview with Sky Sports Boxing. “There are a lot of rounds in which it can go both ways. If it is a tie, it will be a fair result. If it came to Jack a point or two, I wouldn’t have grumbled. Obviously, I will feel sad to lose my title. I still feel like I did just enough to win the war. It’s a close fight, it can go either way. Personally, I scored it myself to make it 113-112″.

In addition to Taylor realizing that giving the nod to Catterall would not be considered controversial, the current undisputed world list is considering an increase in weight. Having spent his entire career at 140 pounds, Taylor believes his 5’10” frame has made it nearly impossible for him to continue defending his undisputed throne.

While Taylor admits it wasn’t his greatest day at the office, he still insists that the arduous weight loss played a big part in the disappointing performance. his.

“It was a really bad performance for myself. Way below par. I just felt that I really couldn’t go. I think cutting weight has a big effect on my performance. For no reason at all, it was a lousy performance, it is what it is. ”
