Teddy Atlas explains how Jack Catterall can beat Arnold Barboza Jr
Jack Catterall is hoping Saturday night can be the springboard for what could be a big 2025.
Live on DAZN at Manchester's Co-op Live, Catterall will face Arnold Barboza Jr. for the WBO interim super lightweight title with the winner in pole position to face Teofimo Lopez who holds the full title.
Outside of those who have world titles at 140lbs, Catterall and Barboza Jr. are considered two of the best in the division and according to respected boxing analyst Teddy Atlas, there is one way Catterall can use one attribute to his advantage when it comes to pursuing the win.
"Well, Catterall makes his living counter punching. That’s what he does. I mean, he’s always done that. You know? He doesn’t rent space out in that area. He owns that area," Atlas said on his YouTube channel.
"He’s a counter puncher, pure and simple and, so it’ll be a battle of two counter punchers if that happens. I go with the guy who knows what he is, Catterall knows he’s a counter puncher. He’s going to stay, he’s going to live or die with that."
Atlas then went on to make his prediction for the contest.
"I’m going to go with the guy who knows what he is, and always has been that. The counterpuncher to win a counterpunching fight," Atlas continued.
"If Barboza decides to come in here, counterpunch if Barboza decides to move, Catterall will win the battle of counter punching, because he’s been a counter puncher longer and he’s home."
