Have you got a card or not?

Sky commentators?...😅

7-3 Taylor me.

Why the **** would I have a card? I’m not sitting ringside scoring the fight. Show us your card there.

Ah yeah, sure I’m sure walshb from boards knows more about boxing than Anthony Joshua.

Thought Taylor won quite clearly in the end.

Big big performance out of her in rd 9 and 10 to seal the win.

I felt the ref was quite poor throughout.

Allowed too much hitting while holding the back of the head and definitely could have called a low blow or two all perpetrated by persoon. He also managed to allow persoon to jump straight back up off the canvas in rd10 and start firing back without dusting off her gloves. Minor enough but definitely noticeable.

Sure stick it up here now. I’m sure you have it at the ready seeing as you’ve spent the last 20 mins asking people for theirs :rolleyes:

The judges obviously prefer quality to quantity, I don't know much about boxing but Persoon looked like she had it won after 8 rounds. The 10th was edge of the seat stuff.
Would like to see punches landed v punches thrown.

The neighbors must be complainin

Haha, I'd say Frank Warren is at home putting his foot through the TV.

Amazing job by Eddie Hearn.

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

nonsense, even looking at Persoon's face after the fight she looked like the bird in the cellar from the evil dead

Only asking the folks who can’t accept the verdict to explain why..

Anyway, Whyte up now. Taylor fight over and done.

7-3 Katie..

I have Persoon 3 rds..

Katie far cleaner, and landed the most shots in 7 rds..

Yes. I will..

Katie won several rds from 4-10

I remember way back a judge scoring the Leonard - Hagler bout 118–110.
History is littered with lopsided judging.

7-3 ? not for me

Katie won 2 rounds at best from the 4th on 5-5

I’d say they prefer quality shots that hit their mark and not hitting arms in wild flurries. Looked like a pissed off drunk at times.

Can’t fault Persoons desire. She’ll be fooked for a week after that fight.

No card. I’m surprised.

I had Katie winning 7-3. Can’t see an argument for persoon winning

Persoon interview was fairly telling. She admitted she was beat. Couldn’t catch her clean and broke her nose in the second. She threw bucket loads but was barely landing clean.

generalgerry

He's the wolf, he's the shark, the's the body snatcher.

I'm confused.

It was written all over her face in more ways than one.

Rd 3, 5 and 9 Persoon..

Rest Katie..

FWIW Katie nicked it by about 2 rounds. The referee had a bit of a mare and it looks like the ring was slippery. Blood and guts war, just like their first fight. These two are each others kryptonite. They could fight 10 times and it would be like this 10 times.

Persoon classy in defeat. She's a relentless fighter, touch of a crude Mexican banger about her. All action style. Get tired just watching her!

I gave 9 to Katie and clearly so.

Must rewatch that...unless I confused with rd 8

Yes. Rd 8 Persoon landed heavy shots..

now Katie's fight is over when can we see the Harry Maguire fight.:rolleyes:

Rewatch it? Just check your card :pac:

I had Taylor winning the 9th too

I did..

I will check both rds again..

I likely got the rds wrong...

Anyway, Katie won, and deservedly so..for me..

And I did admit that several rds could have went either way..

Quiet opener this is gonna ignite!!

Whyte is muck isn't he? Not saying he won't win, his style is just terrible to watch.

I think he’s doing well. Good jab and body work he’s not amazing but he’s competitive

And thinks he’s the next Dempsey/Louis/Ali/Tyson rolled into one..

A few double vodka shots needed here for Povetkin. Fingers crossed.
