After watching the tape on both of these guys, it’s tough not to wish Linares could be a few years younger when these two met. Catterall has a pretty southpaw style and fights behind a great jab while moving around the ring effortlessly. He’s got a nice left hand that he can throw from multiple angles and can change fights with one clean land.
Linares is one of the most fun fighters to watch in the last decade. He thrives when he’s on the front foot and getting off power punches and combinations. That will be the key to this fight and how he performs–he needs to start fast and start touching Catterall. The last thing to go in a boxer is his power.
Jack Catterall vs. Jorge Linares Betting Prediction
A fight like this between two top rank boxing fighters is always going to be interesting to watch. The official Catterall vs Linares prediction is that Catterall will win via late-round stoppage.
Father Time is undefeated, and unfortunately, Linares is just too far past his prime. Linares will still be dangerous with his power. But the much fresher Catterall should be able to break him down and get the job done between rounds 8-12.
- Pick: Catterall to get the job done between rounds 8-12.
