I think it's more to do with the corrupt people who sponsor Taylor, perhaps there is evidence of something else at play here.Quote:

The whole thing is just getting ridiculous now. I think Catterall won but there were a fair few close rounds and you always run the risk of those going the way of the champ at home. It's nowhere near the worst decision ever as some seem determined to suggest. It's just people being whipped into a frenzy, I watched the fight on ESPN, rewatched with no commentary then watched it again with the Sky commentary. The latter will definitely have swayed how a lot of people perceived the fight, again I'll reiterate I though Taylor lost a close decision but Sky were bias in the extreme. Teddy Atlas is a guy who has been on a few epic rants about poor judging in the past, he had Taylor winning a close fight, as did Andre Ward.
The biggest issue I have is people demanding Taylor admits he lost. Firstly why should he? Secondly how often does that happen? When fighters get away with one they rarely admit it. Boxing without a KO or TKO relies entirely on subjective opinion, Taylor is entitled to his that he won a close fight. Whether he really believes that is irrelevant, he has future fights to sell. The whole loaded language around it from people who should really know better who then follow up with a reminder that it isn't Taylor's fault is just not good enough. It's easy to give that reminder after the guys family have been threatened.
Catterall fought a severely weight drained Taylor coming into the fight on the back of an injury and 2 bouts of illness. Taylor was there for the taking in the final rounds, Catterall spent a lot of them spoiling and holding, he left it to chance and he was on the end of a poor but not entirely inexplicable decision. There's not a lot more to it than that.
Agree with everything you say, Ritson and Davies both had "wins" against Vazquez that were even worse scorecards but because he is Mexican there wasn't as much fuss, same with Campbell Hattons fight a couple backQuote:

Looking forward to it. The Mexican in with Agyarko at the minute is a hard laddie. Taking some hard shots.Quote:

I actually thought wood had won the first round until that punch. But absolutely had to hang on in the second.

Wood is so gutsy but Conlan is too fast for him. Be interesting if Wood catches Conlan with a big punch.
Conlan is levels above Wood, all he has is a punchers chanceQuote:

Don’t disagree but Wood has shown he has the heart of a lion. Needs a ko thoughQuote:

Wow what a finish that was.
wood still had plenty flurries left conlan had nothing left ibn the tank
great fight though
Stand by it, as a boxer Conlan is a much better fighter than Wood, who is hard as nails and can punch, should have just danced his was to victory in the last round and ****ed itQuote:

Fair play to Wood. Even in what must have been a moment of exhilaration he showed pure class and humanity.

But worrying that tbh. That punch from Wood doesn’t look enough to knock him clean out.

Had Conlan winning wide. Just needed to stay off the ropes and coast to a win. Unbelievable finish!
Conlan apparently up and communicating.
