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

[Kcvtr81]

Taylor won by a round, delfine is a dirty fighter

[Jim Tom]

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.

She must be feeling like a thief. Deep inside she knows she got whooped. She should give back the belt

AJ v Ruiz 2
Taylor v Persoon 2

Already half way there to a great card in Vegas.

Screw bringing it home, you should do the rematch at the scene of the crime (US) to stop any arguments afterwards.

I expected nothing less of Katie Taylor. WAR LASS!!! Get ready, that's what it's going to be.

Great action fight did women proud. Close fight. That she wants a rematch when she doesn’t have to shows great character a true champ

[PotentialToast]

Compubox stats (both total and power punches) had it 96-94 to Taylor. The problem for Person was she battered Taylor in the rounds she won but still only 10-9s. Brilliant fight and real venom from both (punches after bell, back of head etc.).

AJ v Ruiz, Canelo v Smith on big stadium double header in UK?

I respect that.

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

Right, but if you're own promoter scores it a draw, what was it really?

That Belgian beat her, really...

It was a decision that doesn't surprised me.

The decision didn't surprise me either, but I have rarely seen a fighter's face that acknowledged defeat more than Katie Taylor's at the bell. That girl was seconds from cardiac arrest.
