  1. Wow, really powerful quotes from Catterall's trainer Jamie Moore coming up...

    Vic Loughlin came to Josh Taylor’s rescue tonight, his 113-112 scorecard ensuring the champion somehow - somehow - kept his belts.

    No wonder Jack Catterall is raging. He could hardly have fought a better fight. Astonishing scenes. Judging by some of the world-class swearing his fans are performing right behind me, they’re just as irate.

  3. 'I believe I got the win 100%' - Taylor

    Taylor beats Catterall by split decision

    Speaking to Sky Sports, reigning champion Josh Taylor says: "I thought I started a little slow but once I got into my rhythm I got him with bigger shots.

    "He was trying to spoil a lot, going down a lot, he caught me with a couple of good ones I won't lie.

    "It wasn't my best performance, I put a lot of pressure on myself with this being my big homecoming fight.

    "I believe I got the win 100%."

    When reacting to a question on the immediate reaction to the fight not going Catterall's way, he added: "Overall I scored the bigger and better shots, so I know I won.

    "He put up a good fight that's for sure, but he never won the fight"

    He also admitted that this fight will "most likely will be my last fight at 140lbs."

    Josh Taylor did not win that fight. How on earth do you give it to him by a couple of rounds? I'm sitting behind these judges - what are they seeing that I'm not? It's wrong, it's wrong.

  8. Catterall has stormed off back to his changing room.

    He's disgusted.

  11. Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

    Carl Frampton
    Former world champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Before we hear the scorecards, in my opinion, Jack Catterall is now the undisputed champion

  12. Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland

    Taylor raises his arm but he knows, surely, what’s happened here in his own house…?

  13. Taylor raises his hand, but Catterall is elated in the ring with his team.

    He knows he's done it.

  14. Round 12

    Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

    Taylor hits with a big left hand but it isn't enough to even wobble Catterall, who comes back with a neat combination.

    And it's over.

  15. Round 12

    Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

    Catterall is holding when he can. Taylor looks spent.

  16. Round 12

    Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

    Taylor is going for it. But Catterall is dipping and swerving shots like his nickname suggests - 'El Gato'... the cat.

  17. 'Taylor needs a stoppage to win it'

    Ronald McIntosh
    Boxing commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live

    For my money, Josh Taylor needs a stoppage in the final round now to win it

  18. Round 12

    Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

    This is it for Taylor...

  19. Oh dear, a point off for Taylor on the bell for a cheap, late shot on the chest of Catterall after the bell.

    So cheap.

  20. Round 11

    Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall

    Catterall, mature beyond his years, swerves more Taylor attacks.

    Taylor again tries to land a flurry on the ropes. All a bit scrappy, again.

    Both exchange body shots. Catterall is dipping the shoulder expertly. He's making this look easy at times.

    Both fighters go down on the ropes after another hold. Time is running out for Taylor. Good jabs again from the challenger as the round ends.
