Eddie Hearn has admitted Jack Catterall “should have done” more in his narrow loss to Arnold Barboza Jr. On Saturday (15 February) in Manchester, Catterall lost a split decision to Barboza Jr, as the scorecards read 115-113, 113-115, 115-113 in the American’s favour.
“When they said ‘115-113’ at the end from the Polish judge, I was like: ‘I think we got it.’ The US judge went 115-113, the UK judge went 115-113 – both the other ways – and I just thought we won a close decision, but no complaints.”.

Hearn said he did not talk to Catterall, 31, at length in the ring, adding: “He was a little bit dejected obviously.
