Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor: I'll Leave No Doubts In Rematch With Delfine Persoon

[Phill lynott]

I agree to an extent , the best fighting the best and both fighters deserve decent money here , trouble is female boxing on the whole is really a very poor standard wth really only 2 or 3 in each division who can fight or box well , to use the lightweights as an example with the exception of these 2 you have Chantelle Cameron ( massive threat to both ) Estelle Moseley ( Olympic chdmpion , good boxer, no pop ) rosa volante ( tough and game ) 3 or 4 competent gatekeepers from Argentina and the US , same for 2 swedes who lack decent promoters and a progressive profile but fit the competent bracket and 2 or 3 Germans that have padded out records , are way to old and as poor as the rest of the division if they dared step up , so that I feel is part of the problem with female boxing and each division is the same . Quite honestly it's a very hard sell overall and until the depth improves with competent amateurs coming through you will be left with the 2 or 3 in each division but taylor v persoon is a credit to not only womens boxing but boxing in general , I'm certainly looking forward to it , should THIS fight be 3 minute rds ? If there is a female fight that should be I'd say yes to this one and pay them accordingly , trouble is you set a precedent and open a can of worms with safety issues for the less competent ones .super feather division looking much better now so that's a good sign .

You couldn't be more correct. I have a hard time believing there isn't more talent out there. I am only thinking this because of the way promoters look at things selfishly. But it takes time to build a name to those outside any common ties with that name. If more promoters, managers so on took the time to search out the female prospects and invest with them, time and proper training I belive, we would see alot more compition in every division. It takes a hell of a lot of determination train on your own for the toughest sport in the world. Especially without any support. They're out there, just need to give encouragment and managers need to provide that along with exposer.

The volume of women coming through have never been better, better technic, better training, better dedication, better pedigree. And I totally agree with you with the 3 minutes per round thing. They really need to push that because women boxing is going to continue to evolve over the next 10 years.

Should be another C.racker .A good addition to a slightly disappointing main event but then who knows....Just good to see a bit of 'safe' action again.

If Katie Taylor can make the adjustment in this fight and utilize her speed and movement better she can win fairly easily. But I suspect it might be another close fight. Toe to Toe is not wise, although Persoon is easy to hit she is super tough and will not get stopped unless a very bad cut opens up. If Taylor boxes smartly she can win 98-92 or 97-93. She needs to fight her fight and not let the relentless pressure of Persoon get to her.

Katie Taylor, you couldn't bust a g****!

I sure she could bust your lip though if you talk **** to her face.
Did you not see the swelling on Persoon's eye in your meme.

Katie seems to gas out after 4
No power on her shots and no legs
A fighter like Persoon, who doesn’t stop coming , is hard to deal with
And I find her awkward as a fighter on top of it

The swelling on Delfine Persoon was due to head-clashes and forearms from Katie Taylor, as Persoon kept walking that English-Bum down, eating her best shots and getting the better of the exchanges.

Taylor could not stop the onslaught, Persoon is going to ragdoll her and knock Taylor out this time.
