That is up there with the worst decisions I have ever seen and probably THE worst Ive seen in this country.

 

Words like scandalous, disgraceful and shocking don’t do justice to how wrong that was


Feel terrible for Catterall who must seriously be wondering about whether it’s all worth it.

Hideous decision and with Taylor more than likely vacating after this will make it unlikely to be rectified.

 

Boxxer will suffer from this, 2 hideous undercards and now what can only be described as a massively fixed main event. It will turn people off forever.

Shellshocked.  I've seen some bad/borderline corrupt cards in my time but this one tops the lot.

 

Taylor got beat up, knocked down, deducted points, was outclassed in every single department, in his own back yard, and still got the decision.  I've not seen anything like that before.

 

Though the pair of them were still relative unknowns, this was a big night for British Boxing, first time an undisputed title was being fought for on UK soil.  Then that happens.  For the actual PROMOTOR to say he was embarrassed is saying something.

 

But it's clear there was a Top Rank script tonight, this was supposed to be a nice little homecoming for Taylor, easy little home nations win against a guy who was supposed to be levels below him, build his profile in the UK, make him look a superstar, move up the weight and with his unbeaten record can get a few PPV buys to watch him get fed to Crawford.  The judges were bought and paid for before the bell rang, the only way Catterall was winning this was via Taylor being knocked unconscious.  

 

Can tell you now nobody apart from a few neds in Edinburgh are paying for that shit.  Brand Taylor is dead before it even started.  Based on his Gobshite Comical Ali impression after the fight I'll gladly watch the highlights of Crawford getting the KO the day after.

Actually feel sick for Catterall, it wasn't even close, don't know how or even if he'd want to pick himself up and go again in this horrible corrupt sport. 
 

Think that has finally put me off Boxing forever, you shouldn't be getting to the final bell in what was a masterclass with the thought in your mind that you are still not sure whether the right man will get the decision.

This is exhausting how often it happens

 

embarrassing is the word just embarrassing.

 

It goes around and around and around is wrong. Fighters put there lifes on the line for this sport, how can judges so often get it so wrong.

 

The sport needs a massive clean up from top to bottom, drugs, the scoring, the shady figures involved, its not fit for 2022.

It does more damage to Taylor’s reputation than good, amongst fans.
 

As for Bunce lol 

if anyone “sees” it like that, they shouldn’t be anywhere near the judging table. You’d be better off with three fans scoring it.

I'm assuming a rematch will be ordered by the powers that be. 

But if Taylor is stepping up to147, what happens then ? 

Taylor pretty much said he was interested in the rematch last night, so he will probably vacate the belts.

They only have three judges so that they can still ensure their chosen result if one can't be bought lol

 

As for Bunce. I like the way that he presents his shows but this is a seriously stupid statement.

He just has this overwhelming need to be in the winner's enclosure.

I just want to add, and I'll sound like a broken record, I know. There are no corrupt, crooked, or broken judges. It's just guys ringside who get things very different to the rest of us. No one's getting brown envelopes.


Really ****ing funny how often they see it differently to fit the script every single time.

 

Ive seen Howard, Ian’s and Victors scorecards, they are all an absolute ****ing joke

Fury to retire after the Whyte fight.

 

Fury to claim to retire after Whyte fight to drum up interest in otherwise underwhelming bout and then to magically come out of retirement to fight someone else.

Sitting in 14565 place in the queue to get a ticket via the official site for Fury vs Whyte and most the affordable tickets have been mopped up by resellers. 220 quid for a back row seat in Wembley they cheapest i've found!

Managed to get tickets. An hour in the queue. Bit of a farce that I only had a minute to hold them with no prior knowledge of what the ticket prices were gonna be. Paid 125 for level 2.

 

Took a chance, just hoping the Villa game gets moved for TV. But can't be too greedy! :whistle:
