Bob arum made a complete fool of himself by saying that Taylor won and he wouldn’t bring an American fighter over with British judges. As in the first fight where he was robbed catterell clearly won , I scored it 5 rounds to him. It was only in the second half of the fight that Taylor started pressing and even then he was being picked off with a succession of jabs and counter punches.
Catterell landed the greater volume of scoring punches throughout the fight and on a couple of occasions had Taylor badly hurt.
Taylor by contrast was pressing but walking into punches and never troubled catterell, a worthy winner.

OO would you agree that many of Taylors shots were hitting the high guard which as you know doesn't score points.
I thought Taylor 8-11 quite convincingly and that has maybe swayed Bob's recall of events.

Thor, I scored the 8,10,12 draw and the 9&11 catterell. I gave Taylor only 3&7. Like you said , despite his pressing he landed very few clean shots with most of his punches being nullified by catterells guard. I backed catterell and the only danger I saw was that he might suffer from tiredness but every time it looked that way he came back with scoring combinations. Taylor was eating jabs all night and as I said I scored it 118/113. Bob Arum needs to go to Specsavers.

Arum did make a tit of himself but then he had a day out and he must be about 90 now. |

93 apparently. Its what's keeping him alive! To be operating at such a high level at his age is incredible.
Although I do put YouTube at 1.75 speed when he speaks and then he sounds normal!!
