    Persoon threw a lot more but barely landed with anything, hard to reward that. When Katie threw she usually landed. I think Katie won.

    Taylor win for me but so difficult to score. The cleaner work definitely done by Taylor though. Good scrap. Persoon has an ugly style imo but the woman is relentless.

    Thanks for the updates lads....

    In work so couldn't get to see it and the RTE updates were diabolical

    Great result in what sounds like a tough night for both of them

    Persoon took the fight at short notice.
    Taylor stupidly stood with her and despite saying movement s needed. As a professional she should not be doing that. She needs to stick to the plan.

    You gotta feel for someone that left everything, absolutely everything in the ring the way Persoon did, but it’s boxing not brawling.

    Fair play, great fight.

    2 judges were fair enough but 98-93 ? That man should not be judging a boxing match.

    Glad to see the judges aren't listening to the Sky commentators. Katie won 7 rounds fairly clearly IMO.

    Persoon has a terrible style (for me), but what an engine. There was no doubt Taylor landed the better quality shots although it will be interesting to see the stats.

    Could have went either way, think a draw would have been fair but what was that judge watching to give it that wide!

    Persoon certainly does not seem unhappy with the result.
    I think she was just happy to get the rematch to be honest.
    Very sloppy fight, Taylor allowed to fight half the fight with her torso perpendicular to the canvas.

    You are slating the judge based off a couple rds here..

    Can you give the rounds where he was so off?

    You’re very defensive. You were having a go at some lad a while ago for not wanting her to win. Anyone without blinkers on could see she didn’t win that by 5 rounds FFS

    Not good for woman's boxing if Persoon was to win with that style.

    Neater work by Taylor and you can’t score for wrestling but that distance is a joke. All the guys at ringside had Persoon. I had Katie 6/4 but hadn’t much confidence in that. Persoon so classy about losing
