Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor Prepared To Move Forward With Persoon Rematch

[STREET CLEANER]

People are talking how many thought Persoon won the first one , many people were hearing how Serrano was considering retiring before Hearn offered the fight and paid expenses forwarded to her to train for it . We can debate what’s what but the fight is being talked about because Hearn put it together and in the end one fighter decided to not fight but only one fighter actually fought the current champion .

LOL, if you say so.

I prefer this fight to the Serrano one, once it’s obvious that Serrano wants no part of Taylor, I knew this one would take more merit considering I had Persoon winning the first fight.

Well said, they cannot force Serrano into the ring. She decided to play politics by herself, if she wants the fight then she has a date. Too many excuses from her, Persoon is a better challenge right now.

Persoon needs to stop her to win. She aint getting no decision she needs to do a fury game plan, work on strength and power and push the fight from round one. Break taylor done round by round till she gets stopped or out. No way persoon gets any leeway with a hearn show. Worse case she deserved was a draw and that would have been a robbery but to give a reigning world champ a savage robbery loss like that was not right on any level. She was completely ragging taylor in the later part of the fight

If taylor takes the persoon fight that goes some way to regaining respect from everybody that saw the 1st fight and thought she lost . I am no different and have gone on record to say persoon beats her again and taylor is there to be taken as I believe she is on the slide so for her to take it and face the challenge i respect that and if she beats persoon fair and square I will be proved wrong and have egg on my face but I'll happily eat humble pie because she will prove a great champion but it needs to happen because not only was the result unjust but taylor wants a legacy and to be deemed a great and for This to happen she needs to put the persoon fight to bed once and for all , I know if it were solely her choice she would have taken it straightaway so she will be both motivated and dangerous in this fight and although I believe persoon beat her last time her team need to be just as professional , highly trained , totally motivated and be better than last time , I think she will and it could be a better fight than last time ..

Very well put and fair. I would agree completely if I honestly thought Taylor lost. However, I truly belive Taylor won that fight and by a wider margine than recieved. Too bad the final rd was so onesided. Anyway let's hope we are both correct in this fight being even better than the first!

yes , this is what makes the sport great when warriors do the sport proud by competing in 50/50 fights and there is not always a right and wrong in certain fights of which this is a great example . What I do now is I've been in corners observing from one angle and scoring it as I see it as close as anyone apart from the ref . When I get home and run the show under certain commentary and tv platforms and different camera angles I could score it differently if I listened to certain Comentators and again if you observe with the sound down you can get a different opinion again so i have learned to respect and understand objective opinions .

Very interesting! I find if I watch a bout in spanish rather than english I notice different things mainly because my spanish isn't that good. I should try with no sound and see. I do think an announcer definately can direct how one views an event. Alot of times It's clear they are pumping up one corner and ignoring the achievements from the other. That can cause a bias viewpoint either way. Not for nothing but I do like listening to Brian Kenny (spelling could be wrong). His commentry seems to be honest and from a pure fans standpoint of the sport.
