Huge Taylor fan but he wasn't even close to winning that fight tonight.

114-111 is an absolute insult to Catterall's performance and to the fans' intelligence.

I'm a Josh Taylor fan. That was his worst performance by a country mile.

My scorecard read at the end of the fight 115-110 in Catterall's favour. My mate had it the same and another friend had it 114-111 for Catterall. All of us were in unanimous agreement that Catterall unfortunately was the winner.

Taylor was extremely below par and the worst performance he has put in since turning professional. We were gutted he was now going to lose the titles in his first defence as unified champion here in his home country and the first time he's fought in Scotland since 2019. When Josh's name got read out as the winner, of course, we cheered but I just had to take a seat straight back down and say to myself "WTF just happened"? "How did he win that"? He was literally outclassed and outboxed!

I wanted Josh to win but not like this. This win is just extremely tainted for me and doesn't feel like one to celebrate because it's clear as day he didn't deserve to hold onto his belts last night. Just shows how corrupt sport is.

Thought after round 4 it was a poor fight actually. Scrappy, dirty and full of holding. Awful.

If Catterall had been able to keep his foot on the gas he would have been a convincing win but I thought he lost maybe 4 of the last 6 rounds as he was simply too tired. So I wasn't sure he'd get the verdict though he probably deserved it. Not as outraged as some but do get it. I saw it slightly closer due to Catterall's constant holding and fatigue.

Tyson Fury has now claimed that he will retire after the Dillian Whyte fight:

"This is the final fight of my career, I'm retiring after this. £150 million in the bank, healthy, young, I'm gonna buy a massive yacht abroad. I'm retiring, I'm out, this is my final fight, I'm done."

Really can't see what they hope to achieve with that, as bad a decision as it was!

Ian John-Lewis, a judge who scored in Josh Taylor's favour in his controversial win against Jack Catterall has been downgraded for his scorecard by the British Boxing Board of Control. John-Lewis scored the fight 114-111 to Taylor - two out of three judges favoured him, leading to a widely criticised split-decision win.

The British Boxing Board of Control issued a statement saying: "Whilst the Board were satisfied that Mr. John-Lewis' scorecard did not affect the overall result of the contest, the Stewards of the Board did have issue with his margin."
