Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall LIVE: Fight updates and undercard results as ‘justice’ is served

Arum: “Those scorecards were a disgrace, an absolute disgrace. I really feel sorry for Josh, I thought he won the fight. Those scorecards were ridiculous. I will never, ever allow an American fighter to come here with the British Board scoring the fight. Those scores were ridiculous.”

Embarrassing scene involving the 92-year-old, in all honesty.

Tony Bellew: “The judges are gonna cloud Catterall’s moment. I had it a really close fight. That 117-111 twice is a disgrace. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because wrong was done to Catterall two years ago, doesn’t make it right to do that to Taylor tonight.”

Taylor: “I thought it was a great fight. Fair play to Jack, he boxed a better fight today. I thought I just nicked it. It was a close fight. If he wants to go on to bigger fights, he deserves it, he won. But that’s 1-1, let’s do a trilogy.”

Catterall’s manager Sam Jones: “Heart palpitations. It’s not good for your health.

“Josh put on a fantastic performance, he was hurt several times.

“I thought the scores were a little too wide, but Jack was a rightful winner.”

Catterall’s fiancee Lauren: “So proud, he was amazing. Brilliant night, so happy it’s done.”

Their wedding is 10 days away.

Catterall: “Feeling good, it’s a weird feeling, it’s bittersweet. I thought I won two years ago.

“Josh is a tough competitor, but we move on. A bit of downtime, then we get married next week.

“I’ll have to watch it back, I felt in control, I still felt I won the rounds that I took off. I felt I won the fight clearly.”

Hearn: “I think the judges’ scorecards were too wide, but the right man won. Listen, I love Scotland, but justice was served tonight.

“But he should have the belts around his waist.

“That was a tremendous battle. Jack boxed beautifully at times.

“He deserves to be world champion, that’s got to be the focus, I’d love to see this guy challenge for – and rightfully win – a world title.”

Bob Arum gets on the mic and says the scorecards are an “absolute disgrace”. This is embarrassing from the American.

Taylor: “Fair play to Jack, he won the fight. Let’s do the third one.”

Catterall: “It’s bittersweet tonight. No world titles, [but] I won the fight. We can close that chapter with Josh Taylor.

“Listen, I believe I won the fight, I took more risks this time. Josh is an elite operator.

“I boxed smart. Even in the second half of the fight, the rounds when I was more reserved, I was controlling the pace.

“It was a fight of two halves, but I still believe: The rounds that I won, I won clearly.

“None of it’s personal, we’ve shared 24 rounds together now, so respect to Josh.”

Indy Sport has it 116-112 in Catterall’s favour. 115-113 would be reasonable, too...

Jack Catterall def. Josh Taylor via unanimous decision (117-111, 117-111, 116-113)

Justice for Catterall after the controversial first fight? I’d say so.
