Congratulations Delfine on a powerful and winning performance ☺️

Katie is already trying to forget Persoon by going to another division. She and her fans will claim she is undisputed.

Taylor is ducking that rematch

Everyone knows she lost and there’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t have had an immediate rematch, their recent fights were a about a week apart but Taylor doesn’t want it and masquerading as undisputed champ

I think journalists have to start calling it like it is. She wants to avenge the first time she was robbed. I am a KT fan as much as I can be a fan of a female boxer, but Persoon won clearly.

I agree with the above , not sure it will happen , Taylor will chase the money now and get beat before persoon can get to her.. I could name 4 not including persoon that are ready to beat her now or like persoon get controversially robbed

She deserves that rematch, whether it comes to fruition or not!

[Citizen Koba]

Absolutely deserves the rematch. Delfine fought her damn heart out and in the eyes of most she deserved the nod. I'm a fan of Taylors but I'm a bit disappointed she didn't grant the immediate re-match she said she would. Right is right.

It's fights like Taylor vs Persoon that are needed to raise the profile of the women's sport, but as ever boxing manages to shoot itself in the foot with iffy decisions.

EDIT: And damn, I didn't realise Delfine's been weighing in at 130 against Lightweights in her last several fights including vs Taylor. I don't know the rehydrated weights but the implication is she may be giving up quite a lot of weight in the ring. Even more impressive. This girl has definitely made a fan of me.

persoon kicked katies ass all over the ring, it wasnt even close

Maybe she can win every round this time and still lose. Last time she just won almost every round.
