Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor: I Wanted Persoon Rematch Straight Away After First Fight

[Fighter78]

Hopefully persoon worked on strength and power this time round and gets this trash bag out of there once and for all.

Exactly....I wish women were truly equal and could fight 12 three minute rounds.....then we could get rid of this Irish bag of crap for good 👍

Taylor is all class! Honest as they get. Any true fan of boxing would appreciate her attitude along with skill. Being said that...
Now kick this whinning Belgium back accross the pond and do it so it leaves no doubt! UP IRISH!!

Hey...you spelled "trash" wrong.....you spelled it "class"....don't know how you made that typo.

Taylor is such a lying Irish c**t. If she wanted the rematch immediately, Weasel Eddie would have delivered it. I so so so wanted to see Amanda mop this overrated trash bag, but watching Persoon punch her face in a second time will be almost as satisfying. Delphine will have to stop her this time because Weasel Eddie will cook the scorecards again.

I really can hardly believe that this absolutely wonderful rematch is actually to happen. Full credit to Katie for taking the fight as she knows the magnitude of the test that awaits her in the ring, and she is well aware what a torrid torrid and frankly hurtful and bruising time that she had against Delfine and just how fit, tough and physically strong a lady that she is.
I suspect that despite her claims otherwise, that she has quite likely been backed into a corner by Mr Hearn to take the Persoon fight, which admittedly will give his card an X -Factor that no other opponent could. By declining the fight Katie would have had to admit that she was afraid to face Define again, something that her pride probably couldn't countenance. Although I am in completely in love with this fight so much, I am frightened for Katie, that although she possesses the better boxing skills, that she just cannot match up to Define on a physical level. Define holds just so many advantages over Katie that I just cannot see how she can overcome them. Boxing may help initially, but Define never gets outboxed, as she is very very physical and has an incredibly high workrate and is an exceptional pressure fighter.
I have broken down some advantages of both boxers below.

katie:
Faster hands
Very fluid movement
Excellent boxing skills
Better counter puncher
Better timing

Define:
Taller
Fitter with higher workrate
Better pressure fighter
Heavier punches
Very hard and stiff jab
Better stamina and punch resistance
Good at cutting the ring off
Tougher
Very strong physically
Stronger in clinches
Granite chin
Good boxer, good slugger and very capable in the trenches
Knows she can hurt and wear Katie down with her pressure.
Knows that Katie cannot hurt her.

Another interesting factor, is that Delfine will likely be afforded a better and more professional training camp for this fight as she has reportedly taken more time off from her day job to train. She may also come in on the weight limit this time, rather than several pounds under as in the first fight. This could be really significant, as even as the lighter bixer, Define was clearly the physically stronger woman, and this time she may have even better conditioning and be even stronger. This would be a nightmare scenario for Katie and is very feasible.

So sorry for the long post, but I am incredibly excited about this fight.

Well Eddie is an F-Level promoter who was having a colossal sized US debut bomb, who already had to play dirty with the Kelly fight and had another prized prospect who was about to be stopped.

Surely he had he had to do something.

Funny how even with this he became a joke by the end of the event anyway.

Hearn was banished that day to where he belongs, to Matchroom Fight Camp, where only the lowest, the failed british boxers(basically all of them) reside.

That Matchroom U.S flop was one of the most memorable nights in boxing history. They all left home whooped

Katie is such a piece of trash liar......sure you wanted the rematch immediately......well why did you say there were other things you wanted to do RIGHT THERE IN THE POST MATCH INTERVIEW IN THE RING??? Poor Irish trash

Taylor is such a lying Irish c**t.

Wow. The hatred is strong with these three. When you're this angry about a sport that is meant to ultimately be entertainment, that should be a really clear sign telling you that you need to take a step back and reexamine things.

She got a questionable decision in a fight. Relax. It happens. Is calling her "Irish trash" and a c**t really necessary?

[Squ□redCircle34]

If Persoon hasn’t lost her edge or hunger then Taylor is in big trouble, only way she gets saved is if she steps her game up another level or the ref/judges help her!

Women’s boxing really need 3 min/12 round fights!

Her team probably kept her away from the immediate rematch.

That was sad to read, boxing fans... Shame
