Catterall has THREE fists!
His left, his right and his HEAD!
I’ve never seen a boxer use his head to “punch” his opponent so much and so often without in as much as a warning from from the referee.
That being said, he has good skills, fast hands and good defense…..if only he wasn’t so overtly “dirty”.
