But this is long overdue, rematch between bitter rivals Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall. There are fans who thought that Jack earn enough to beat Josh Taylor that time and win the undisputed 140 lbs. But Josh Taylor was declared the winner and they are supposed to fight for a rematch immediately after that. But Josh have supposedly injured his hands if I'm not mistaken and then we all know what happens next, Taylor lost to Teo. This is probably Taylor last hurrah, if he lose this one I think he might go and retire for good. Perhaps this is just for the money for Josh and I thought that he is going to move to 147 lbs, but competition there is going to be very hard for him.

They should have held the match immediately but it's better late than never, the fight is very controversial and it is time for both fighters to settle the score and what way to settle it by knocking or dominating the other, in the first fight Taylor suffered his first career knockdown, I'm sure he will try to avenge that, their style fits each other.

I hope this time they'll get a good referee who can be totally in command of the fight, the first fight is quite dirty and the point deductions made an impact on the scorecard.

For this second fight, I prefer Taylor to win the fight because he has the height, reach, and skill advantage something he did not take advantage of in their first fight, Taylor badly needed this fight to recapture his old glory.

I haven't seen the first fight, but upon checking the records now, I see that it was a split decision win by Taylor. I think I will have to check the highlights of that particular fight. However, since this is not a championship fight and Taylor is not undefeated anymore after losing to Teofimo, I don't find it as an exciting matchup anymore.

If I have to choose between the two and place a bet, I'd take Catterall. I don't like how Taylor lost to Kambosos; he seemed to be not the same anymore. Additionally, I'm curious to see if he has fully recovered from his injury, so I'm fading him in this fight, at least for now.

They say it is better late than never. The fans will finally see this rematch that should have happened a long time ago. In their last matches, Catterall prevailed upon an old Linares while Taylor lost a decision to Lopez. There is no championship belt but this is a match British fans want. We will witness if Taylor is finished or if it is time for Catterall.

However, I can also predict that Taylor is doing this for money. He always said that by making the weight he forfeited part of his conditioning. He should move to another weight class after this match. Even though it will be more difficult to become champion assuming he goes up however perhaps his body will become more grounded and quicker if he does not dehydrate himself.

This is a very serious fight and a must watch for all. From the speech's of both fighters as read from the link provided in the Op it is obvious that this fight is not about the title literally, it's personal. According to Catterall, "this is not about the belt", in my opinion it is a revenge, a vendetta shoved fight for him to prove a point to his fans and other people.

I understand Taylor is a good fighter of which I admire his qualities but am in lack of faith in Taylor if he actually knows what is coming to him April 27th because Catterall isn't smile at all as he's ready to see Taylor to retirement.

The rematch between Josh Taylor Vs Jack catterall fight is going to be tough fight regarding to how the fight ended last time with controversy. Jack catterall lost the fight with disputed decision to Josh Taylor, jack catterall even knocked him down in the eight round of the fight. The judges scorecards were questionable most people saw it as biased and inaccurate because they favoured Taylor despite catterall strong performance. catterall wanted the rematch of this fight because of how he lost last time the met it's going to be competitive for both.

Josh Taylor had a great run where he became undisputed champion but I believe he has already reached the limits of his potential and is now in decline. Catterall is an average fighter who he should have beaten easily the first time around. After that loss to Teofimo Lopez he cannot have another bad performance. I can’t see Taylor beating any of the champions, except for Rolly Romero who only fights PBC fighters. If he moves up he definitely won’t beat Crawford or even Ennis. It might be worth considering retirement at this point. We’ll see how he looks against Catterall to determine how much he has left and whether he is still viable at the championship level.

It's just weird though, I mean Josh Taylor reach the top of 140 lbs, becoming just the second boxer to do that after Bud Crawford. But after that, it went downhill for him very quick. He vacated majority of the belt and just retain one. And then defended it against unknown Jack Catterall that time and it's supposed to be an easy fight for him. But he went toe to toe and almost lost it. Fans asking for a rematch, but he got injured and then deny Jack that rematch during that time. Lost to Teo and most likely could be in the sunset already and I do agree that he might consider retirement here if he lost to Jack without controversy.

I think there's no more hype in this fight, they could have done it before when everyone is talking how amazing the 1st fight is and that a rematch should be done ASAP.

But it's obvious that Top Rank and Josh Taylor duck Jack Catterall and making excuses after excuses. He could have injuries, but then they let Teo Lopez, a Top Rank fighter to go against Josh Taylor and he was upset and now he doesn't have any belt anymore.

It might be good for their domestic fans in UK, and the day is also coincide with the Ryan Garcia vs Devin Haney so it's a bad date for them.
