Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall predictions

Bitter rivals Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall meet in a highly-anticipated rematch of their controversial 2022 clash in Leeds on Saturday. 

Taylor was awarded a split-decision victory when taking on Catterall in Glasgow two years ago, a verdict that appeared generous to the Tartan Tornado. 

The Scot put his undisputed super-lightweight crown on the line against Catterall in Glasgow, and while the 33-year-old held on to his belts, Taylor has since been stripped of three world titles and one was lost in defeat to Teofimo Lopez last year. 

Injuries have hampered the progression of the East Lothian fighter and the loss to Lopez is the only appearance Taylor has made since the bout with Catterall.

There are certainly doubts over Taylor's ability to reach peak performance at this stage of his career, but it’s worth remembering that the Scot was brilliant in victories over Jose Carlos Ramirez, Regis Prograis and Ivan Baranchyk and the 33-year-old’s chances are being dismissed a little too lightly. 

Catterall was excellent in the first bout with Taylor, but the Chorley fighter hasn’t exactly dazzled in subsequent wins over Jorge Linares and Darragh Foley.

Of course, Catterall can’t beat an elite-level performer if one isn’t put in front of him, but the 30-year-old was chasing a world title shot after the Taylor loss and could certainly have been expected to produce busier and more destructive efforts against Linares and Foley. 

Catterall’s performance against Taylor is the clear standout on his card and it has been proven that El Gato can stay with the Tartan Tornado. However, he was 7-1 to win the first match and punters are now being asked to take 8-11. 

Clearly, Catterall has to be considerably shorter for the rematch, but being rated favourite against a former undisputed super-lightweight champion is questionable and Taylor looks worth a punt to score a repeat victory. 

On the undercard, there are a couple of fights that could end early. Lewis Ritson’s career had been derailed by punishing defeats to Jeremias Ponce and Ohara Davies and hot-prospect Paddy Donovan can show that time has run out for the Sandman. 

Ellis Zorro was stopped in round one by Jai Opetaia in Saudi Arabia in December and the Lewisham boxer’s defences are likely to be exposed again by the powerful and promising Cheavon Clarke.
