    She didn’t deserve to win.

    I couldn’t enjoy the win last night.
    I didn’t feel she did enough. Massive KT fan here but I’m a little pissed at how it all went down tbh.

    She was out boxed. And another 10 seconds she would have been in the canvas. She was very very wobbly.

    Wow. So this is how it feels to be the robber not the robbed. Strange feeling for an Irish person.

    She got boxed around the ring, and still won.

    This fat bloke beat the incredibly fit looking black guy last night.

    Conclusion.

    Boxing is a racket.

    hard to enjoy taylor's success when 90% of commentary on it is people lecturing me about how i should care more about it

    Really like KT but she very lucky last night. Boxed well for the first few rounds but Persoon had the better of the rest of the fight and I thought KT was going to get stopped in the last round. She had nothing left at that point. Very sporting of her to offer Persoon a re-match. Think Persoon has the beating of her if that goes ahead, unfortunately. The Irish media are being incredibly selective with their reporting.

    Recall her Dad talking about the corrupt nature of pro-boxing a few years back. The corrupt nature worked out for her last night.

    WTF.

    Some awful eejits celebrating two women punching each other around the ring for ‘sport’.

    Women shouldn't be boxing for men’s entertainment.

    Think she just about scraped it. The fact that Persoon finished so strongly and dominated the finals rounds can make you forget that Taylor took five if the first rounds. Think the ninth was where she won it for me, she did just enough to shade it and that gave her the edge.

    There’s calls for a rematch now and my money is on KT winning again

    You can like it or dislike but they were hardly sold in to slavery to fight to the death in the arena

    I've watched it a couple of times now and I think Katie just did enough. Persoon threw a hell of a lot of punches but Katie landed more. Definitely in the first 5 rounds. Katie got pulled into a dog fight and her corner knew it, she tried to hold her composure and box but when your being set upon with that intensity your instinct is to fight back.
