Comments Thread For: Braekhus Dominates Bustos; Makes 25th Straight Title Defense

[Citizen Koba]

It’s a different sport.

My middle school basketball team won six titles in eight years, the first basketball team to do that since Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls.

That’s an insane statement, just like the one made comparing Braekhus’ achievements to Joe Louis’.

I see what you're saying, although it's not really fair to compare a world level sport to a local level one. Cecilia is the best in the world at what she does, your local BBall team ain't I think.

Would it be more reasonable to say something to effect that Braekhus' achievements in the women's sport are of a comparable magnitude to Louis' in the men's, even the the two aren't directly comparable?

Jesus of course someone on this forum is comparing her to Joe Louis.

This forum is full of people who are insane.

Well maybe, never seen her box but don't forget Joe Louis invented the bum of the month club.

That could work I guess, at least Delfine's the youngest of the 3 potential opponents, but I still say she should have got an immediate rematch.

Funny thing is Persoons getting lighter whilst Katie's getting heavier... and it's hard to see Cecilia coming down to 140 now, she ain't fought there in over a decade, so I'm guessing Katie would go up to Welter. Two divisions is a long way down assuming Katie and Delfine would remtch at 135.... if that is the plan (and I assume Hearn signing Braekhus at her age was largely to make sure of the Taylor fight) I'm doubting we see the Persoon rematch.

I hope we see the Persoon rematch as well. I was at the 1st and it was the fight of the night (which says something given the shock that followed). I had Taylor by 2 but she got battered in the rounds that she lost which is why it looked bad overall. Especially the last rounds. Cecilia was interviewed on Sky after the Monaco fight as she seemed amenable to 140 (acknowledging she is not a big 147). If Taylor boxes Persoon like she did the last fight, she beats Persoon comfortably. But beckoning Persoon on to the ropes is not smart; she is a beast for her frame.
