British Trainer: «Arum Was Asleep During Some Rounds»

British boxing trainer Dave Coldwell reacted to promoter Bob Arum’s criticism of British judges, which he voiced directly in the ring following the fight between Jack Catterall (29-1, 13 KOs) and Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 KOs).

«Bob was asleep during some rounds, so I don’t take what he said about that fight very seriously. His fighter just got beaten, so of course, he’s going to say the opposite, that the judges’ scorecards were shameful.

I think the margin was too wide, but when Arum went on to say he felt Taylor was essentially robbed and that Taylor won the fight – he doesn’t know because a few people sitting near him told me he was asleep,» said Coldwell.
