Hearn complained after leaving to Barboza Jr.

Jack Qatar promoter Eddie Hahn deserves a victory over Arnold Barboza Jr. last Saturday night, fighting for the WBO interim light welterweight title at the Cooperative Live Arena in Manchester, England I feel like I won.

Hearn says that Catterall (30-2, 13 Kos) did enough to lead the fight by winning the 12th round, and was surprised he was not given the victory. He says that when visiting fighter jets, they usually have to do a little more to get a decision.

Shakur imitation of Catterall fails

Catterall fought as he always did and used his retreat method. Shakur Stevenson And he destroyed his chance to win. Interestingly, when Catterall reached out, he found success and had been neatly connecting many of his time. But that led to Jack focusing too much on his defense and not enough for his attack. It was the same 90-10 imbalance He is an eye poison and is booed by fans in defense against the attacks seen in Shakur. I have the same problem with Catterall.

Hearn will have to live with it. Catterall has the wrong style for him to defeat talented and offensive fighters, as he lost to Barboza. The issue keeps pop-up when Catterall finally takes on things like Richardson Hitchins and Ernesto Mercado. He concentrates too much on defense and is defeated.

The judges saw the more offensive Barboza Jr. (32-0, 11 Kos) as a better fighter and recorded a 12-round split decision. It’s no surprise that Hearn complains about the decision. Because if his fighter, Catterall, won, he was placed in a position to promote him to full WBO Championship status when Teofimo Lopez chose to shake him up.

Hearn’s Catterall excuse

“To be honest, I don’t think either is enough. In that kind of battle, you always have to do a little more,” Eddie Hearn said. Fighting Hub TVdiscussing his fighter Jack Caterle’s defeat to Arnold Barboza Jr. in Manchester last Saturday.

“After we got to the ring later, Barboza looked like, ‘Yes.’ I said, “It’s close.” He went, “It’s not close.” “It’s 7-5 either way.” I actually thought Catalore had framed the 12th to drive the fight, but all the judges gave Barboza the 12th.

“You can’t complain. Every judge had 115-113 anyway. He could have done it. He should have done a little more,” Hearn said. “Make it more aggressive. Go twice and back him up. You’re waiting. The middle one-on-two worked a lot of hours, but he wasn’t throwing enough. ”

Hearn must stand up to the truth. Catterall didn’t do enough to win last Saturday night. Because he was obsessed with not being attacked by Barboza Jr. So, rather than going forward and putting your hands down, Catterall retreated around the ring to prevent it from being tagged.

He basically gave up the ship with token resistance. Call it co-sick. The meat was delighted, but the heart was weak. I’m always looking at fighter jets and it. They have physical abilities, but are mentally weak. Catterall was a classic example of last Saturday, and Hearn is hard to face the truth. This will happen again, trust me.

Lack of killer instinct in Catterall

“In the middle of the battle, he allowed Barboza (to rule). Early on, I made it 2-1, 3-1 Catterall, and then Barboza was 6 in such a period. , 7, 8,” Hearn said. “Then Jack came back a bit, but I felt he had switched a bit. He (catterall) let it slip, and that’s the key.

“When I said, ‘Neither was enough,’ it was the same as Barboza. Did he come and tear it apart? It was a vacant title so you really have to win the rounds, but sometimes you have to do it when you come to the UK,” Hahn said.

As you can read and see, Hearn essentially says that visitors to the UK will get a shaft when it comes to screening. I respect his honesty by saying it as it is, but it’s good that Barboza Jr. was treated pretty well in this case

“When I last said to the Polish judge ‘115-113’, I said ‘I think we got it.’ The US judges have gone 115-113,” Hearn said. “The British judges went 115-113. Both are in other ways. We thought we had won a thorough decision, but there were no complaints.

“I think he’ll kick himself,” Hearn said of Catterall. “It’s easy to say ‘I’ll do a little more.’ Because if I try more I’ll refute. Barboza is also a good fighter. He has despicable powers. I think it’s time to kick yourself by doing something a little more.

“We’ll see what happens with Teofimo. In the end, Teofimo will probably fight Richardson Hitchens, and the winner will have to fight Barboza. If the title is free, then Jack may have come back there with a shot in the rematch,” Hearn said.
