Tables have turned for Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall after Scot suffers revenge loss
WHEN Josh Taylor fought Jack Catterall for the first time in February 2022, he compared it to conquering Everest then returning to climb Arthur’s Seat.after a remarkable sequence of victories during which he took on and defeated the best in the division. Beating Jose Ramirez in Las Vegas in May 2021 to land all four belts was the undoubted pinnacle of an astonishing three-year period of dominance.
Just as he had after the first bout, the self-styled Tartan Tornado felt he had done enough to nick the win although it would have been undoubtedly harsh on Catterall had he been denied for a second time. In contrast, a second successive defeat – and third patchy performance – leaves Taylor short of options.
There is an undoubted irony that his brightest performance since defeating Ramirez went unrewarded but in the moments in the contest when Taylor was on top he didn’t seem able to go through the gears to overwhelm Catterall into submission as he has done with so many other opponents in the past.
