Bairnardo Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Don't agree at all that just because rounds are close they should automatically go to the champion.I genuinely cant see any reason why Taylor gets the last two rounds when he landed only 3 punches in each of these rounds and Catterall landed 3 times as many.You have to take the belt from the Champion is a well worn trope in boxing, and I think for the judges too, not just the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoddyKane Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I watched it a couple times now. I would still say Catterall won. It was far from a good fight but its just my opinion Catterall won it. I dont want to say easily but I think by enough to have no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Saturday's fight had me thinking back to another in recent history with a similar pattern, result & outcry. But I couldn't for the life of me recall who it was until today.Warrington/Galahad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Think Warrington/Galahad was a bit different in the sense that lots of the television viewers were led by Ronald Mcintosh's awful commentary. The feeling in the arena is that it was a crap fight and that Warrington won it. Can remember Jamie Moore was a ringside pundit and gave it 9-3 Warrington etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 WBA mandate Taylor to defend against Alberto Puello. Think its safe to say he'll vacate, move up, & the titles will split up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Conlon was looking for that disguised overhand left for the last 90 seconds of the first round. Dipping low and feinting constantly to the body to draw Wood’s right hand down. A peach of a shot. A great second round for him as well, could potentially be another 10-8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmosphere is electric and not in the usual wankery tense way. Just looks great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Lot of credit to Wood for fighting his way back into that round there. He can walk Conlon down with his power, but I think we seen already that he's too vulnerable to Conlons timing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Wood’s taken onboard the fact that he has to dip under the overhand, but saw on a couple of occasions toward me the end of the fourth that Conlon’s recognised the uppercut is there when he does. Think that could land big later on. So good when you can watch a technically gifted boxer setting up shots in advance with feints and setting little traps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Wood’s game as f**k, just outgunned. Conlon’s bodywork in particular has been outstanding, especially the left hook and uppercut when he’s stepping in. Plenty of time to go, but only seeing one winner here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Some of they body shots Conlon landed in that round were sickeners. Wood being made to pay for every exchange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 There was a nice slo mo there that showed just how well Conlon is anticipating Woods shots. The guard is in place almost as soon as Woods shoulders move and so the counter is guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
