Weekends Boxing 22/8 (Whyte v Povetkin, Taylor v Persoon, Alvarez v Smith Jr etc)

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.

UrbanFret

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.

Persoon, shes some engine and some tough nut! Enjoyable scrap

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.

What?

She was forced to fight at times..

As much as I hate to say it, Taylor lost that fight.

Them two judges need there heads checked

wrestlemaniac

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

I had no sound, what was the score given by the judges

normanoffside

Persoon didn't even protest the result so we shouldn't

generalgerry

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.

Person is a great great loser, she clapped when the results came in and then she bowed to Katie, what a great loser

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

Can you give the rounds where he was so off?

Give us your card and breakdown so..

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.

I had it a draw.

Guess they had to protect the golden goose.

This time!!!

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

I'd comfortably give her 4 rounds clean but nowhere near 7

The refs look for quality I guess more so than work rate

No she actually won.

16 from 16.

generalgerry

I've said it many times but there are seriously issues with the judging or the point system of the sport if professional judges are so widely apart in their scoring.

I tell you one thing though, if you ever need a hole dug to Australia then Persoon is your woman. She is absolutely relentless. You would have to think that she would be suited to one of the more stamina based sports like rowing or something.

Defensive?

No, I prefer some actual analysis, that is all..

Anyway, you seem not to have it..

All_in_Flynn

I had Taylor by 3 or 4 personally. Persoon was hitting shoulders and arms a lot. Some engine on her and she left everything in there but she was outboxed I think.

accensi0n

I'm confused, don't know much about boxing but watched most of that fight and your one smashed Katie... no?

If we seen Katie do to Persoon what Persoon did to Katie there. Katie would have won by a massive margin.

squinn2912

People giving it to Taylor easy were very quiet during the fight. Gimme a break
