He won the fight. He won the fight. Jack did well. He won the fight.

Taylor must have won as he's just said he won it around fifty times.

he's desperately trying to sell it

I will happily admit I know nothing about boxing, but that decision is daylight robbery.

Also know nothing about it, but between this and all the YouTuber nonsense, I don't think I want to know more.

FWIW my missus gave it to Taylor, thought he was the only one trying to have a proper fight and not fanny about with holding all the time.

This is the second worst thing I've seen today

 

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

Andre Ward had it for Taylor

I don't think Taylor won 3 or 4. Or even really close.

Inser “Catterall needed a knockout for a draw” joke here

Still absolutely disgusted by that. Jamie Moore is utterly seething here and has every single right to be.

I hope Taylor does move up, mainly for his own benefit because regardless of what he said there, he shouldn’t ever try to make 140 again, but also so the belts split and Catterall gets the first shot at whichever one he wants, hopefully with a relatively easy opponent so he can pick up the world title belt he richly deserves.

Not sure what folk expect Taylor to say when getting a mic in his face after 12 rounds of getting his pants pulled down btw. Boxers ALWAYS say they won the foght ffs.

[D Angelo Barksdale]

He was desperately trying to convince not only the audience but himself that he won the fight.

[John Lambies Doos]

Its a shame, wrong man won..but its not Joshs fault

[DukDukGoose]

Spencer Oliver can get to f**k with the "look at their faces" argument though.

[Hauzen]

Time to do away with judges scorecards and get some sort of penalty shootout in.

[supermik]

Obviously a disgraceful decision but how many times in history have we seen British boxers look brilliant in winning world titles and then look like total amateurs in their defences?

Yeah anyone saying that can be dismissed from the discussion.

I had it 7-3 with 2 even. Then include a point deducted each & the KD.

At very best, for Taylor, that would be a 114-111 loss.

[Clockwork]

The judge that scored that 114-111 to Taylor was watching a different fight completely. Just fail to see how anyone could arrive at that decision.
Catterall banked enough of the first eight to win that contest by a couple of rounds, even without Josh’s point deduction at the end of the 11th.
