Catterall-Linares. Best moments of the fight

Jorge Linares (47-9, 29 KOs) has been the executioner of British boxing until now. This series was interrupted on Saturday evening Jack Catterall (28-1, 13 KOs).

In the first minutes of this tactical battle, it was difficult to determine who was setting the tone for the fight. Only at the end of the fifth round, Catterall pinned his opponent against the ropes for a longer time and delivered several accurate power blows. From this point on, the Briton began to dominate slightly. In the eighth round, he landed several right crosses, but when he found his rhythm, the bell sounded a moment later.

The former three-time world champion returned to the game with a good ninth round, but then boxing chess began again in the ring, in which the Briton was a little faster and more accurate. This was confirmed by the judges' notes - 117-111 and twice 116-112.

Earlier, Campbell Hatton (14-0, 5 KOs), the son of the legendary “Hitman”, who defeated Jamie Sampson (9-3) by disqualification in the eighth round, entered the ring in Liverpool.
