If the bruises And swelling tell a story Katie won well!

Persoon won’t be on any catwalk tommorow!

People giving it to Taylor easy were very quiet during the fight. Gimme a break

I didn’t post once during the fight cause I was watching it. Does that invalidate my opinion?

What did she actually land? She barely landed a clean shot. She just threw so many punches that a small few of them leaked through. When Katie threw, she usually connected.

Not sure it was too much of a dig, she said something along the lines of if you don't catch and hurt her she is gone too.

Not really. A lot of pressure but not much clean work landing from persoon. Katie had much more quality punches land.

I had Katie winning 7-3, maybe 6-4.

She definitely won. The betting exchanges had her odds on at the end.

Persoon is incredibly tough. Nothing but respect for her. Her desire is incredible.

You don’t get points for the volume of punches you throw or for hitting arms.

Defensive?

No, I prefer some actual analysis, that is all..

Anyway, you seem not to have it..

There you go again. It’s funny that half the Sky panel had Persoon winning but you’d know a lot more than them I’m sure. Fight coulda even been called either way. Telling analysis from Joshua.

You are slating the judge based off a couple rds here..

Can you give the rounds where he was so off?

take you pick from the 4th round on.

Person was wrestling and punching while holding Katie down. Happened too often in the fight.

Well done Katie.

Persoon probably made a nice sum of money too.

Feenix

Shes not going to lose on points in New York & shes definitely not going to lose on points in Eddie Hearns back garden. Persoon is unlucky of course but she probably knew she had to stop her before letting it go to the judges.

Have you got a card or not?

Sky commentators?...😅

7-3 Taylor me.

lawrencesummers

Not bad from Katie. That time she spent boxing with Team GB has really paid off.

corny

Womens boxing has a long way to go.

The Belgian girl was game but astonishingly crude and ineffective.

Taylor clearly has some ability but i'd be disappointed that for long spells she didn't know how to deal with her opponent.

Anyone who thinks Katie won that fight doesn’t know boxing.

Brock Turnpike

I had it 5-5 myself. Can understand the 96-94 scores but the 98-93 I just didn't see.

Yes. I will..

Katie won several rds from 4-10

Kristopherus

Whoooo Hoooo !!!! Great win for Taylor. That first judge must have fallen asleep with that wide margin he gave.IMO I thought Persoon shaded it.

Why?

megadodge

I was watching it on a dodgy stream with foreign commentary, which is perfect, as you don't have the influence of the commentators' opinion.

Did Sky commentators have Persoon in front? Because I can't see how she could have won it. Massive workrate, but very few punches landed cleanly. Katie's work cleaner and more eye-catching. Her defense was also vastly superior.

ikeano29

Now, need Whyte to win inside the distance for a tasty double. Had katie on points

REBELSAFC

I had Katie by 3. She started well and won the first two comfortably enough then went 3-1 up. It would have taken a huge improvement from Persoon to win the last 6 rounds by clear three rounds and while she came back into it a bit, she didn't win any rounds that clearly.

You know nothing about boxing...

Even if this analysis is spot on..😅

That's possibly the most embarrassing take yet.

Last I checked boxing scoring was about technique and actually landing clean shots.

Persoon swung her arms like a windmill and walked forward like the Terminator, but all she hit was arms and air. Quality, not quantity.
