Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor Barely Edges Delfine Persoon To Unify Division

Terrible fight, this was exactly why no one watches womens boxing. It was straight up garbage no skill from both sides.

I have been watching men's boxing for more years than I care to recall, and I have never seen a bad fight. That statement is nonsense of course as is yours regarding women's boxing.

Katie Taylor, I like her and she lost.

That was a straight loss for Taylor, Persoon deserves that W. It’s not even about a rematch! When is boxing going to get its act together? That was devastating for Persoon.

Katie Taylor could have boxed and danced around all night while winning every round. She chose to war in the trench with a bigger fighter. Props to Katie for showing how tough she is and for thinking of giving the fans an exciting fight. She won that fight like it or not the tough way! It's sad so many idiots see it different!

Absolute robbery!!! 96-94 persoon all night

That's pretty close to be considered a robbery. That's basically a swing round from draw.

A recap for those (like me) who couldn't catch it last night.



Damn good fight - in fact, dare I say it, perhaps the most competitive and entertaining fight of the evening. Persoon should have got the nod.

I'm going to watch this later but less than a minute in, I can see a huge disparity in skill. Taylor is sharp!

Katie is the more skillful fighter by a margin but Delfine outgritted her - turned it into a goddamn dogfight - dudes on the RBR calling her Delfine Margarita..

British invasion not going so well in NYC lol anything to keep the 0 I guess lets see what Eddie Hearn says about this now only one who rightfully won tonight was Buatsi and he fought a Periban on like 2 weeks notice lol

Katie isn't British she's Irish.

And that Periban fight has been confirmed for ages. They just didn't announce it until 2 weeks before the fight. Same with the others on the undercard.

[Sid-Knee]

Let’s start like this, she is not the best female fighter in the world, that belongs to Shields, second of all, Heddie ***** is doing a great job paying these judges off, another robbery for another Brit hype bum, waiting to stay tuned for the next robbery, Katie Smith got beat up bad

Katie isn't a brit, she's Irish you uneducated buffoon.

[Sid-Knee]

Now you Americans have to watch Eddie Hearn's corruption. This is VERY normal for his fighters.

Love KT but she was battered tonight a draw would have been a joke, but Persoon getting beat was a disgrace.

At least with Matchroom and GBP Dazn have backed winners alright......

Those were judges put there by the New York commission. How is that Eddie Hearns fault if they're corrupt?

And you do know the US can't go a single fight card without at least one robbery? The US is the most corrupt nation on earth. These are facts.
