Better be penultimate fight on the card. Can't wait for it.

Wow
This is a great fight on paper
Not sure Persoon is still on top of the game
Feels like she’s been around forever

This really is one of the few female fight that deserves the coverage and billing . Two fine examples that have paid their dues and not done the usual female thing of padding out records with paper belts, anyone who follows boxing know who the 10% or so of women that either want the big fights but have trouble getting them or the ones that genuinely work their way up for little reward , I am looking forward to seeing honest hardworking determined seasoned fighters slug this one out and put the paper champions to shame . Who will win ? Katie I feel will probably have better sparring and all around experience around her ( this could shade it) but if persoon as a tough all round fighter who is much taller and can provide A rough tough leaning inside game plan ( history of judo ) then who knows, volante tried the right tactic but came of second so let's see a better version try , best to both women , great fight �� and finally has persoon got enough left in the tank ? and Katie only boxed in April as did persoon but Katie's was harder so she may be slightly below par but I think peters and the trainer are sharp enough to realise how to peak a hardworking champion

This fight is a mismatch, Taylor will destroy her.

The state of womens boxing is still laughable. Seen all I needed to of this ''dominant champion'' in a single round, she is garbage. She can't box for ****!
I don't care if that sounds ignorant or harsh its the truth that woman is terrible.

Persoon's spent her entire career fighting local chicks in Belgium, the occassion will get to her and she has never fought anyone on the level of Taylor, total agree, Taylor will destroy this chick!

Female boxing is total joke, not remotely competitive.

If anyone here is a fan, they DKSAB...Beta males.

When it comes to spelling an opponent's name, this woman may be the toughest challenge for Katie Taylor. That's about it.

At least in female boxing they do undisputed fights and do not protect fighters' records.

This.

I don't see why so many men feel threatened by women's boxing that they have to constantly disrespect the time & energy they put into it.
