Jack Catterall’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, believes that he deserved to win against Arnold Barboz JR. last Saturday night in their fight for the temporary light of WBO’s WBOIM at the C-OP Live Arena in Manchester, England.
Hearn says that Catterall (30-2, 13 ko) did enough to fight in the 12th round, and was surprised that she had not won him a victory. He states that usually, when visiting fighters, they come to the UK, they have to do a little more to make a decision.
Catterall -O’s imitation Shakur fails
Catterall fought as always, using his retreat method, which he has undoubtedly learned from viewing Shakur Stevenson and destroyed his chances of winning. Interestingly, when Catterall released his hands, he achieved success, he was purely connected most of the time. But that just collapsed on Jack too much focused on his defense and not enough on his insults. It was the same 90-10 imbalance Defense because of the insult we see with Shakur, which is why he is an eye poison and fans encourage him. Catterall has the same problem.
Hearn will only have to live with that. Catterall has the wrong style for him for talent to beat aggressive fighters, as we have seen with his loss from Barboza. The problem will continue to appear when Catterall eventually takes on similar Richardson Hitchins and Ernesto Mercado. It will be too focused on the defense and be surpassed.
The judges saw the more aggressive Barboz Jr. (32-0, 11 ko) as a better fighter, achieving it by a divided decision in 12 rounds. It is not surprising that Hearn Gunja for a decision, because if his fighter, Catterall, won, it would put him in a position to be raised in the full status of the WBO championship when Teofimo Lopez decided to turn him away.
Hearn’s pronunciations for Catterall
“I don’t think any of them did enough if I’m honest. You always have to do a little more in such a fight,” Eddie Hearn said HUB TV fightsDiscussing his fighter, the loss of Jack Catterala of Arnold Barboz Jr. -And last Saturday night in Manchester.
“After I entered the ring after, Barboza was like,” Yes. “I said,” That’s close. “He left,” It’s not close. “I left,” It was 7-5 in any case. “I actually thought Catterall baked the twelfth to reciprocate The judge gave Barbozi twelfth.
“You can’t complain. Each judge had 115-113 in any case. Could do. He should have done a little more, “Hearn said when asked what Catterall could” do “a little more to win.” Just be more aggressive. Go twice, bring it back. You are waiting. One or two down in the middle she worked a lot, but he didn’t throw herself enough. “
Hearn has to face the truth. Catterall did not do enough to win last Saturday night because he was too preoccupied with Barboza Jr. He didn’t hit. So, instead of going forward and letting go of his hands, Catterall pulled all over the ring to prevent it from marking.
He basically gave up the ship with only token resistance. Call it with a coward. The meat was willing, but the mind was weak. I constantly see him with fighters. They have physical ability but are mentally weak. Catterall was a classic example of last Saturday, and Hearn has difficulty with the truth. That will happen again, believe me.
Catterall’s lack of killer instinct
“In the middle part of the fight, he allowed Barbozi (to dominate). I had 2-1, 3-1 Catterall early), and then Barboza won six, seven, eight, such a period,” Hearn said. “Then Jack returned a little, but I just felt that he turned off a little. He (Catterall) let him slide. That’s the key.
“When I say,” None of them have done enough, “was the same with Barboz. Has it come and torn? It was an empty title, so you just have to really win rounds, but sometimes you have to do it when you come to the UK “Hearn said.
As you can see from the reading of this, Hearn basically says that visiting the UK fighters get a shaft when it comes to judgment. I respect his honesty because he said he was, but it’s good that Barboza Jr. in this case acted fairly
“When they said,” 115-113 “at the end from the Polish judge, I said,” I think we got it. “The US judge left 115-113,” Hearn said. “The UK judge went 115-113, both other ways. I just thought we had withdrawn a narrow decision, but without complaints.
“I think it will hit,” Hearn said about Catterall. “It’s easy to say,” Do a little more, “because if you do more, oppose yourself. Barboza is a good fighter. He has a cunning power. I just feel it’s time to hit yourself because you don’t work a little more.
“We’ll see what’s going on with Theophym. Ultimately, Teofimo is likely to fight Richardson Hitchins, and then the winner will have to fight Barbos. If the title becomes empty, maybe Jack returns there with a shot of removal,” Hearn said .
