    Ball effectively got a free WBC belt there. That's a joke that she can get a WBC title shot after a draw with courtenay and she only had to beat a girl who is normally 10lbs lighter..

    Ok, thought it was a draw, however Courtnay was 4-0 at the time with her opponents having a combined record of 14 wins- 27 defeats and 9 draws- hardly world title eliminator calibre!.

    Have to say this card has been absolutely putrid. Hearn's way of putting on a show on the cheap during a pandemic is to turn to the women. There's a good reason Katie, Harper and Ball have been the most active fighters through this pandemic and it's not because Sky are trying to be groundbreaking. They're just being cheap. Really poor.

    The Spanish girl is huge for the weight.

    Someone with an ounce sense needs to tell Katie to be a bit more selective in her punching. Wastes so much just throwing for the sake of volume and speed!

    What’s with the psalm 18 on the shorts of Taylor, I used to hate Holyfield for his religious shiite, such hypocrisy.

    Big question of how many rounds this girl will survive.

    Can't be much more in this fight. Totally one sided.
    Will be disappointed in Taylor if it goes the distance.

    I just find it hypocritical that you would want to try and beat the hell out of someone and be a Christian as well. I used to hate Holyfield for it as well.
    Also if Gueterrez is the best they can offer as a contender, then the term ‘Lamb to the slaughter ‘ comes to mind.

    That's the one thing she lacks. Lovely boxer , doesn't have that concussive punch that would make life so much easier for her.

    Yes,

    But Katie doesn’t want to hurt with any malice..

    It’s part of the sport..

    Was hoping for a finish. Not sure they is going to happen. A bit flat now.
