Comments Thread For: Hearn: Katie Taylor Wants An Immediate Rematch With Persoon

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Katie Taylor asked Eddie Hearn for his honest opinion Saturday night. When her promoter told Taylor that he scored her 10-round fight against Delfine Persoon a draw, Taylor instructed Hearn to get working on an immediate rematch. Taylor won a majority decision over Persoon, but there was plenty of doubt about whether the unbeaten Irish lightweight deserved that victory in their 135-pound title unification fight at Madison Square Garden.

... at the worst, they should have scored it a "draw"...

Nah sweetie you lost. You were gifted a decision.

[Oldskoolg]

Imagine how bad it would have been had it been 3 minute rounds and a 12 round fight

I've seen the fight once , difficult to scoreq I admit , if it were given a draw I wouldn't complain , if persoon were given it I'd say fair result but Taylor for me DID not win it. I am a big Taylor fan so I'd expect nothing less of her comments regarding a re match , one of the many reasons I like her is her integrity and ability to rise above her ego and act in a very fair and honest way. Great example in boxing and life , persoon for me although crude and limited fought the right fight and deserves another fight , she holds down a full time job and again is a good example for all children not just girls.. well said Katie for your offer of a re match . respect

It was a decision that doesn't surprised me.

No Edward ...everybody except you, Katie Taylor and the judges had Persoon wining by 2 or 3

I scored the fight a draw.

rematch is very necessary.

Respect to Katie for pushing for an immediate rematch.

Obviously she can't control what the judges do so can't blame her for the decision. She can push for the rematch & apparently she is so respect to her for that.

I'm glad she's pushing for an immediate rematch. Persoon deserves it, and that was a GREAT fight.
