Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor: To Call Persoon Fight a Robbery is Absolute Disgrace

[super-x]

This hype job needs to stfu and right her wrong IF she is as great as she thinks she is... anyone with a pair of eye balls could see she lost, even in her demeanor after the bell she knew she didnt do it. I dont care about how many rounds etc but overall that was a clear loss for Taylor. If they wanted to Rob Persoon they should have made it a Draw.

Female boxing is a disgrace to mankind.

[Rusty Tromboni]

It was far from a robbery. We've seen lots of robberies lately, that definitely wasn't one.


Fighters have close fights, and off nights. Even the best. The comments being made her show me that almost no one here ever Boxed, and almost unlikely to have played competitive sports.

Keep eating your cheetos, guys.

How exactly did Taylor rob her? She isn't a judge bro

By not giving her a rematch, and holding up those belts when she knew she lost.

She said they are going to rematch. I'm sure we would all like it to be immediate but we aren't the ones fighting. The judges robbed her, not Katie. And how are you gonna tell her how she feels? if Taylor felt she won then ok, you're on here like you can read her thoughts "she knew she lost", ok buddy

Exposed Taylor's flaws. She doesn't really have a big boxing IQ and just relies mainly on firing combinations.

You got beat and exposed. They did you a favor because Shields became undisputed and wanted to make it like your on her level when you’re not.

Robbery

the robbery was an absolute disgrace. that was an easy fight to score, and persoon won fair and square. sure it was close. it was also a clear victory for persoon. that robbery was a disgrace.

both persoon and taylor were fantastic, but the crooked judges did their job.

of course it was a robbery. persoon won fair and square. close doesnt mean the outcome was a tossup. competitive doesnt mean it could go either way. theres a criteria applied on a round-by-round basis, and this fight was not difficult to score. there was a clear winner, and judges scored a win for the fighter who lost.

Taylor is absolutely correct. She won that fight in a rough and controlled showcase of skill. Crisp accurate combinations, great footwork and a ring generalship that most would not be able to do against the bigger chaotic out of controll viking from Belgium. I got to give them both credit for conditioning. All that said Katie Taylor showed why she is and deserves to be undisputed champ.
