Ref gave the count and then end of round. It was close to being stopped and if that had been 30 seconds earlier I think Usyk would have finished it/ref stopped it. I was taking it as he hadn’t actually touched down. But the Ref would have been perfectly within his right to stop it. There was approaching 30 secs in front, where he had been tagged & blundering round the ring, unable to defend himself & offering nothing in return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a couple of shots that Usyk missed with as Fury was just out of reach as he stumbled back..if they had connected I think that would have been it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rewatching it now even after the bell the ref grabs Fury's arm to make sure he makes it over to the correct corner as he doesn't know what's going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Josh Taylor looking in exceptionally good nick ahead of the rematch. First time in years he is going into a fight properly prepared so we’ll find out if he’s truly shot or if there is more to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think he looks in good nick. Curious to know what I'm not seeing that's different this time. For what it's worth whether or not he's shot or not I think Catterall may just have his number anyway as his technical, spoiling style is all wrong for Josh. Hope I'm wrong.

ICTChris Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I was at the Taylor-Catterall fight, I got a free ticket via work. It's the only fight I've ever been to in person so I don't have anything to compare it to but it was probably the worst decision I've ever seen. Just appalling. One thing I was suprised at was a large number of the fans treated it like their football team winning 1-0 with an against the run of play last minute winner, rather than it being the real winner cheated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think against Lopez, the lack of running and sparring soon caught up with him. He has been in peak condition for a good while now and seems to have been sparring for fun for months and 170ish rounds in camp for the fight. His op got rid of his double vision too so that can only help. He hasn’t been able to make adjustments during the last two fights and I think that’s partly from the lack of conditioning and the inability to think straight that brings. Definitely holes in Catterall though. He really loads up on his shots and the elbows come out. The way he finished the Thai lad could be the way to go. Looks a bit weight drained too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually never knew about the double vision until I heard an interview with him yesterday. He looked untouchable in the super series so i hope he can rediscover that form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 1st round blitz from Okolie. Rozanski looked like he'd just come from a shift on the door of wetherspoons. Edited May 24 by MONKMAN 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 What's everyone's thoughts on Taylor v Catterall? Tbh I was edging towards Catterall points before I saw Josh on the scales today. He looked fantastic. Not gaunt like last time. I'll go Taylor later stoppage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) See, I thought Taylor looked terrible the other day at the face off. His face looked so old and tired and clearly struggling to make the weight. He looked unwell. Edited May 25 by Gianfranco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I think Taylor looks in a lot better shape than last time. 9/2 for a Taylor stoppage looks quite appealing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_for_life Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Was going to order the Taylor fight till I see DAZN want £25 for a months subscription. Boxing prices are a disgrace. Hope he wins tonight but I don’t see it. I also was in the camp of him not looking great during the face off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Fundora will officially vacate his WBO belt, putting his WBC on the line, to fight Spence Jnr. As a result, Crawford's fight against Madrimov will be for the WBA and WBO. Could Bud collect all 4 belts at 154? Of course he's good enough, but will politics get in the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Paddy Donovan looked good there, giving Lewis Ritson a sustained beating. Good call by the ref to stop the fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still £25 but a bit of a bonus doing it that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
