“Did Taylor Even Manage to Win a Round” – Enraged Fans React as Josh Taylor Retains Belts After an Extremely Controversial Decision

Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall’s main event ended up garnering some strong reactions from fans. In this 12-round war, the undisputed champ ended up winning the fight via a split decision. Taylor was even knocked down in the fight and Catterall proved to be a super-tough opponent. Yet, Taylor was a man of the night, as he remained victorious.

While The SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow celebrated Taylor’s win, fans on Twitter shared a different notion altogether.

Taking it to Twitter, many came up with what they actually felt about the fight, the results, and more.

One fan wrote, “Was it a hometown decision? Probably. Did Catterall win the fight? Probably. Does Josh Taylor need to get rid of Ben Davidson as head trainer? Most Definitely! Feel bad for Catterall as he deserved the nod. Taylor needs to be thankful for the gift and give a rematch.”

”Crawford smokes taylor, under 10 rounds of pure dominance and wouldn’t be competitive whatsoever.” wrote another boxing lover.

A Twitter user wrote, “Top Rank needs to get Taylor 2 more fights this year to get used to 147. Get some separation from this fight that should’ve been an L. Then a big fight. Assuming Top Rank can get Taylor a big fight at 147 unlike Crawford”

A fan wrote, “Absolutely shocking, what where the judges watching”

“I believe Taylor lost that fight. Catterall landed the cleaner, more effective punches, and scored a knockdown. I noticed Taylor had a significant height advantage, but didn’t fight tall.” added Jose Ortega.

A Twitter user mentioned, “I think Catterall did enough to win, he won the firsts rounds and score a KD! The lasts rounds Taylor came back but do not deserve the win! 113-112 Catterall”
