Was that the Undisputed Jr Welterweight Hugging Championship? Catterall was hanging on for dear life. Awful fight.
One sloppy fight, wasn’t it?
Taylor never said die, but he looked c*ap for enough of it that I think he was lucky to get the split decision.
I had it 113-112 Catterall. What did your card say?
