Taylor vs Cameron

When it all calms down, I wonder how upset Cameron will really be if it goes to a 3rd fight in a bigger arena

Cameron maybe a touch unlucky with the clash of heads/cut and the "knockdown". 3rd fight will be hard to call

Great display by Taylor, huge improvement on May.

Cameron will feel unlucky. Not giving the knock down was a very poor decision and it may have changed the fight.

I doubt Croke Park is a runner for a third fight, there were still tickets for this one available a week or so ago afaik. But it’d still be nice if it was in a bigger arena.

Cameron stomped on her foot. It was lucky that there was a referee

The live blog on the RTÉ website said she won within about 10 seconds of the scores being called.

Croke Park do not want a boxing match due to the potential security minefield.

…….. AGAIN !

Disappointing result, but thems the breaks.

You do what it takes to win within the rules

Hopefully Katie will retire now, she has nothing left to prove to anybody.

Serrano would say otherwise…..

What a daft post in several ways.

Agreed. I had Cameron to win, and thought she could stop Katie. I re-watched fight 1 yesterday, and changed my view. I posted this. Fight 1 was close as regards punches landed. Key difference was physical pressure for Cameron.

This fight, Katie out-landed Cameron, but the physical pressure was still there. Cameron is quite slow with her hands, and last night, Katie’s hand-speed exploited this.

It was an exciting fight, but awful scrappy as well. Lot of spoiling/holding done by Katie. It was part of her game-plan..

If she'd any sense she'd retire

Fair play to Katie, I thought she would struggle and would have been up against it from Round 1 - should never have doubted her.

Not sure about Croker - the demand isnt there and the price points for tickets will make it difficult for the casual observer to get bought in. There's a bit of an echo chamber about this forum as you'd expect and potentially in some of the groups that people move in but I don't see the numbers making sense.

If Hearn wants it there that badly "for Katie" he needs to pony up a bit more cash for security.

As for Corke park being a "national" stadium - it has hosted everything from GAA to American Football, to Soccer to Rugby to concerts and conferences - Croke park is open to hosting whatever makes financial sense - thats the issue here for Hearn. Croke park are open to doing it.

You've hit it on the head, if the security costs are covered (and of course if the Guards agree to it going ahead ...) then I also think Croker will be up for it. Mind you that's going to be an expensive operation I would imagine ...
