Hmmm, did she realize what Dana White was all about?

She arguably lost to significant underdog Persoon twice.

"One of the best female boxers in the world" doesn't have such a thing happen.

Pretty damn arguable.

The rematch happened because people bltched about the first fight. From where I sit, Persoon can't box for shlt. The main reason people bltch about the first fight is because of how strong Persoon looked at the end. Of course, that's not how boxing matches are scored.

Yes, Persoon is strong, keeps coming, keeps throwing, but she has no balance and is basically thrashing all over the place. It doesn't reflect well on Taylor that she couldn't capitalise properly on her superior technique, but I think if you dispassionately count up who wins each round by landing the cleaner shots, it is Taylor that is the winner each time.

Here's my stance. And it's exactly based on the bold that you said above.

If we say that Persoon should not have had her hand raised because of the bold (came forward/aggressive but nothing else), then I would ask why so many on NSB swear up and down that Maidana was robbed against Floyd.
