Jamie Moore Jack Cattell can still become the owner of the world title

Jacek Cattell coach, Jamie Moore, has no doubt that his man can still raise the title of world champion, even after his defeat Arnold Barbozy Jnr.

Catterall faced Barboza in a live cooperative in Manchester in England, in terms of the ephemeral WBC welterweight title, losing the decision to divide from splendor. The victory meant that Cattell would become a mandatory claimant to the holder of the Teofimo Lopez Jnr belt – and with the look more and more likely that Lopez will go to 147 pounds, he will be modernized to full title.

This is not the first time Catterall, currently 31 -year -old, missed world distinctions due to a divided decision. He was controversial, unquestioned titles with a power of 140 pounds against the then champion Josh Taylor in 2022. It seemed that Catterall clearly defeated Taylor, but two judges did not agree and lost his divided decision.

Despite these failures, Moore still believes that Catterall will eventually raise the world belt.

“Without a shadow of doubt, 100 percent, I know that Jack can win the title of world champion,” said Moore Bouxingscene. “He just has to have such an opportunity and I think that his destiny is to be a world champion. All these little failures that happened along the way, ultimately, when it comes to this moment, it will make it more sweet when it arrives. But Jack Cattarall and being a world champion, that’s how it should be. It just didn’t happen yet. “

Saturday’s loser with Barboza was painfully close to Catterall and Moore. Catterall won something that seemed to knock down in round 10, but judge Steve Gray said it was a slip. An additional point from the knocking could reduce the narrow loss in favor of Cattella. Moore believes that the decision to govern her slip was incorrect, but accepts that Cattell could achieve much better.

“Yes, listen, just as I thought at night – it was a strict fight,” said Moore. “There was no lot of action. There were really no rounds where you thought there were vast rounds. There was one round in which I still think we should have knocking down. But this is only one of them – and it was a strict fight. Finally, it was really one of those in which you were simply: “There is nothing about it.” Jack can work significantly for any reason. He had a free night. I also didn’t think Barboza was particularly good. And, you know, it was one of those fights that could go both ways and unfortunately we didn’t understand it. “

What went wrong for Cattell? Moore is still not closer to finding an answer.

“To be sincere, I just feel that this is not something that I can put my fingers for a moment,” he said. “I didn’t watch it and maybe when I watch it, maybe I will be able to have a better idea about what we could do better. But generally I don’t like watching fights after a loss, because I feel that I am associated with emotions and I think that some time between this logically and go, right: “right”, ok, let’s be sincere now, the things we did wrong and bad and What could we do better? Nevertheless, I know that Jack could achieve better results, but I can’t blame him for his reaction to this or the way he went with it. “

Cattell did not justify during the interview after the fight. He raised his hands and raised his loss honorably. Cattell is a kind of warrior who is not justified, even when they are there to be made. However, the preparations went “perfectly”, confirmed Moore.

“To be sincere, he entered it and I thought that he seems to be in the best form he had ever been in,” said Moore. “So there are no excuses again. We really can’t put the fingers on what kind he went wrong, and I went with Jack yesterday, and I had a few hours with him, but we didn’t really talk about it because it’s not time. The time in which you are in thinking, you feel stinging and you feel hurt, and emotions are high, it is never a good time to talk about such things. It is always better to let the dust settle, and then I always feel that you analyze it better and you are more sincere with yourself than the emotions in which they play in it. “

The loss in Barboz will probably cost Catterall a great payment against Lopez or other of the great division hitters. Moore was asked if the best margins could cost Cattell Millions of Earnings.

“Such questions, how long is a piece of string?” He answered. “You can go back to this decision four years ago against Josh Taylor and say that it costs him millions – it literally cost him millions. On my post I mentioned that I was very proud of Jacek and the way he was leading. It always runs in such a good way. The way he was able to drag through these various scenarios and situations is literally one of the most resistant people I’ve ever met. I have no doubt that this is only a little failure for him.

“He is still 31 years antique, he is still adolescent and fresh enough,” Moore continued. “He has not gathered many penalties for years. I don’t doubt that he will mind. His ego will be a bit bruised. The moment he has just hit a slightly hit on the road. I have no doubt how to run, the way he makes what he does every day will undoubtedly come back stronger and better than ever. “

Zab Judah's Final Prediction on Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez: The Impact of KOing Sparring Partners

Zab Judah has made a bold prediction ahead of tonight’s world title battle between Rolly Romero and Teofimo Lopez.

Romero defends his WBA welterweight title against Lopez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this evening, competing for the first time since his unanimous decision victory over Ryan Garcia in May 2025.

Lopez is attempting to become a three-division world champion after previously holding world honours at lightweight and super-lightweight, but his reign at 140lbs came to an end in January when he lost his WBO crown to Shakur Stevenson.

One man who knows what it is like to be world champion at both 140lbs and 147lbs is Judah, who notably became undisputed at welterweight back in 2005.

Speaking to MillCity BoxingJudah revealed that he is backing Romero to claim the upset victory tonight and successfully defend his belt against Lopez.

“In the past when we’ve seen Rolly in preparation for a fight, he was always on the internet saying crazy s**t, doing crazy things, this time we don’t see any of that. He’s locked in, he’s training, and I predict that Rolly Romero is going to beat Teofimo Lopez.

“From what I’ve been hearing about him in training, he’s been doing good and knocking people out.”

The winner of tonight’s bout has already been linked to a unification fight against the victor of the upcoming WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, while there are also possible match-ups with WBO champion Devin Haney or IBF champion Liam Paro.

Antonio Tarver Predicts Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez Winner: He Has the Attributes to Beat Him

Antonio Tarver Predicts Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez Winner: "He Has the Attributes to Beat Him"

Former undisputed champion Antonio Tarver has considered the keys to victory, while also offering a prediction, for both Teofimo Lopez and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero.

The pair will collide at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena in the early hours of tomorrow morning, with Romero making a first defence of his WBA world title.

He was upgraded to full welterweight champion last year, having claimed the ‘regular’ belt by dropping and unanimously outpointing Ryan Garcia in May 2025.

After that, Rolly had been in talks with Devin Haney and Conor Benn, only to incur over a year of inactivity and agree to face Lopez instead.

Entering their showdown as a slight favourite, ‘The Takeover’ has moved up to 147lbs and is bidding to become a three-weight world champion.

Unlike Romero, though, Lopez is coming off a surprisingly one-sided points defeat to Shakur Stevensonwho dethroned him for the WBO super-lightweight title in January.

It is therefore difficult to predict which version of the 29-year-old will turn up, yet Hall of Famer Tarver has nonetheless told Fight Hub TV that he is backing Lopez.

“[it will be] high volume if Teo looks to win this thing impressively. He’s going to have to let his hands go, and Rolly’s going to have to try and catch him in the mix of all that.

“I don’t think Rolly can outbox Teo round after round; I think Rolly has to do something big – hurt him with something, knock him down and maybe even stop him.

“Smart money [is on Lopez]. It’s difficult to have your way with [Romero]; you have to be somewhat of a real, elite fighter. We still believe Teo, at his best, has those types of attributes.”

Many would agree that a points decision is Lopez’ clearest route to victory, while Romero may need to make use of his power and engineer an inside-the-distance finish.
