Taylor became the undisputed champ by hammering Jose Ramirez last year. In the initial rounds, Ramirez dominated him. But ‘The Tartan Tornado’ is capable enough to turn the tide in his favor and he ended up doing the same.
Dropping Ramirez twice in the fight, Taylor became the true aggressor midway through the fight. This contest went the distance, but ‘The Tartan Tornado’ was a clear winner on the judges’ scorecards.
Since that fight, Taylor looked for a stern challenger and now he’s got a worthy opponent in Catterall.
