Comments Thread For: Persoon: I Respect The Result, Katie Taylor Deserved To Win

[BlackR0bbb]

In what world is throwing eight punches—six of which are slipped, blocked or parried—to land two considered effective aggression? It's certainly not this world. Landing punches is not the only criteria for scoring a fight. Taylor had the much better defence, a scoring criteria; Taylor had the better ring craft, a scoring criteria; In the first four rounds Taylor clearly landed more cleaner punches, a scoring criteria. Persoon was made to miss the target more often than not (ineffective aggression), not a scoring criteria; Persoon showed no ring craft whatsoever, not a scoring criteria; and showed little-to-no effective defence, not a scoring criteria.

Effective punching is also a criteria; how many of those punches that Persoon did manage to land knock Taylor's head back or stop her in her tracks? Most of them were essentially pushing punches. Taylor knocked Persoon's head back on quite a few occasions throughout the fight (not dramatically, but still did). When you have Persoon landing ten pushing punches in a round that have no effect, and Taylor landing two or three punches that force Persoon to reset or knock her head back...Taylor gets more credit. Again, especially considering the fact that Taylor's defence nullified the majority of Persoon's punches.

As I've previously said, there were three or four rounds that clearly went to Taylor. There were two, maybe three rounds that clearly went to Persoon. The rest were close and hard to split. That. Is. Not. A. Robbery. Persoon should indeed have got the win in the first fight, but again, not a robbery.

The arguments for Persoon winning are the same as for Wilder beating Fury in their first fight. "But, but, but...Wilder showed the aggression, he was the one coming forward". Doesn't mean shít if you miss the majority of the shots due to your opponents defence.

I actually had Fury winning 8-3-1 in the first fight and was highly pissed at the draw because I had $100 on Fury. It's ironic how you guys claimed Maidana's and Manny's aggression was so effective against Floyd, but when it comes to Persoon's, you move the goalposts, a typical female tactic. You British wankers are hilarious with your drunken hypocrisy. But alas, Karma is undefeated and the chocolate whale got knocked flat on his back just like The Robot did last June. No. Actually, Mr. Joshua spit his mouthpiece out, turned his back and quit vs. Michelin Man.

Karma came back to bite Weasel Eddie yesterday for his skulduggery, just like it did last June when The Robot got knocked to his knees multiple times. The way Fat Andy was standing over him, I thought he was boy's daddy.

Neither Maidana's nor Manny's aggression was effective against Mayweather, so that's a big fail some big differences between Maidana and Persoon though; Maidana's punches were actually effective; Maidana actually showed ring craft; Maidana actually showed decent defence. Persoon showed none of that.

And what would being British have to do with anything? Taylor isn't from Britain ya gret daft pansy that comment just exposed the reasoning behind your (il)logic; Taylor lives near Britain and her promoter is British. Does it really hurt that much that Britain has the best heavyweights (heavyweight = boxing.)?

Persoon definitely landed more than 39 punches in the last 4 rounds. If she was landing nothing, why was Taylor breathing like an adult film star in between rounds, flopping to the canvas for breaks, and clinching while having her head snapped back?

They're not my stats. They're compubox stats.

But why was she on the canvas? The way I saw it Persoon was running at her throwing her hands like a mong and then wrestling and pushing her down.

Wrestling is tiring. Especially when it's not your sport.

Folks this was another CLEAR robbery here......and you got dumb specimens like ring iq that say taylor "deserved" the win....but yet HE SCORED IT A DRAW ON HIS LIVE STREAM!...I flipped over after the fight and it was as if SOMEBODY HAD DIED ON THAT LIVE STREAM...LOL....SMDH....and his only proof that Katie taylor won is that Delfine Persoon said that "she's ok with the decision".....as if her being a GOOD SPORT ABOUT IT IS PROOF TO YOU THAT KATIE WON.........These people are born morons WITH A CAPITAL M...and they don't want to see boxing cleaned up....they just want their favorites to advance.
