Josh Taylor somehow kept his undisputed championship despite being knocked down and seemingly out-boxed by Jack Catterall in Glasgow in Scotland.
Taylor was shockingly handed a split decision win to retain his undefeated record, every title in the super-lightweight division and his hopes of future super-fights.
Audible gasps from ringside were heard, and Catterall angrily stormed backstage, at the baffling verdict in Taylor’s favour.
Catterall landed the first big punch of the fight – a sharp left hand that drew a puzzled look from Taylor – but it was a sign of things to come.
Taylor was struggling to find his range while Catterall was landing his jabs, and even coping with the physicality of the taller and stronger champion.
In the third, Catterall landed a really slick uppercut which underlined his bright start.
Catterall twice landed significantly to the body in the fourth which Taylor, who has a notoriously difficult weight cut, felt.
