We should probably start a thread on this fight/event.
Anybody going?
Yeah think she loses again but she can't not do it? Have to try avenge those defeats. One more and done either way I reckon. The undefeated record was huge for Katie so not sure what the motivation to keep fighting would be now.
Her entrance was weird. Red flags all oer the place there.
Awful night for Irish boxing anyway. Both in terms of the fighters and the promotional side of it.
I mentioned already, rematch in my view would likely see another loss. She and her team hardly want that on home soil.
Serrano a tough rematch as well, but she has better chance (size and style wise) to beat Serrano. Cameron be a tougher ask.
Cully had no business in there. Mauled.
Wonder whats next for Katie. Shes 37 in a few weeks. Rematch and retirement?
Ah God help her and may the Lord forgive her opponent.
He didnt just lose, he was pucked around for all of rd 3
Yes. Saw those odds mentioned. Insane. Cully has beaten nobody. And every time he steps up (if he continues on) he will get banjoed. There is no fixing some things.
Gary Cully lost as a 1/33 favourite. Jaysus. What happened?
I said same. Reached the summit after beating Serrano.
She's only starting to make the big money, it's not like shes on Tyson Fury $
All in all I think Taylor should have retired after the Serrano win. I said it at the time and I wish she had done it. These gruelling fights will take years off her and she is not young. If she wants to continue I think she’s be better dropping down a weight or two. She could easily make featherweight.
In the post fight presser there is talk from Cameron of the rematch being at 135.
99% of the time I feel the immediate call for a rematch by fighters is a pride thing, I think when the dust settles she'll rethink her options because if Taylor's team are honest with themselves and her then they'll realize a rematch is not worth the risk.
Close, but at least 6 if not 7 clearly to Cameron. Not in a million years would any neutral, competent judge score that fight a draw.
I am not sure Katie will take a rematch unless she really believes she can beat Cameron, and I can’t see how she would think this.
Tried her heart out tonight and was still bossed all night.
She hardly wants her next fight to be back in Dublin with another loss back to back) being a real possibility. It would put a real damper on her career status in my view.
He has supported her a few times now. There doesn’t seem to be any hidden agenda to it, he is passionate about Ireland and combat sports, and she is a big deal, and he has always spoke well of her. She has always been polite back, but they are 2 very different personalities. As much as Katie is an angel and everyone loves her, I would say McGregor is more one of the people, only his people are the brash, full of themselves, somewhat rough crowd that head out at the wknd to the Mecca ‘the black forge’, and often they get to see Conor. The average Katie fan never get near her.
How friendly are they? He was a sponsor for this fight. They seem like chalk and cheese and can't see anything they would have in common.
I kind of understand this, but seems to be him latching on to her to try make himself out to be just wonderful.
Doubt she has any friendship with McGregor. He's only centre ringside because he half funded the fight.
I must also say that Chantelle Cameron has come across very well throughout.
It'd be very hard to dislike her, a real sportswoman and no BS.
According to Hearn, rematch in Dublin in the Autumn, pretty shít Cameron has to travel "away" again. Could have had the fight in one of the many* world class venues in Northampton.
*May not be true. May not be any.
Taylor gone way down in my estimation with her friendship with McGregor.
Shes finished now anyway.
Hopefully. I think you’re right here.
Katie is a good honest person and when she looks back at the fight she will know that it was a fair result.
Off to leaba now hoping to get up for big fight in Vegas later!!!!
The Referee was excellent by the way.
Next time I see Sparkle Lee Refereeing I will have a lot of confidence in her.
I thought even waiting for the verdictKatie looked like someone who knew she did not win. There was a real air of defeat in her stare.
I can’t see this happening, but I’d hate to hear in a few days excuses coming out and thoughts of “I thought I deserved it.”
Yes, we all have it to Chantelle but KT’’s corner told her she won it and that wouldn’t have helped her thinking she was 1 up when she really needed to be more active. You could hear in the interview after that she thought she won the first few rounds.
Rd 1 one easier rds to score
For some reason I can't stand the saying "in the pocket" in sport.
😅.. I had it 7-3.
separate to my individual rds scores I had it about 14 mins to 6 mins where Cameron was winning.. she was clear for me.
