Taylor vs Cameron

He didnt just lose, he was pucked around for all of rd 3

Cully had no business in there. Mauled.

Wonder whats next for Katie. Shes 37 in a few weeks. Rematch and retirement?

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.

She’s not retiring

Her motivation is her love of fighting, even aside from the money

She’s obsessed with boxing and isn’t going away

Katie isn't beating Cameron. I don't know what Katie can do if a rematch occurs? Camerons too strong for Katie no matter if Katie comes back fighting for a win she isn't going to beat Cameron. Sometimes that's just life. Katie was close but still was second best all night. Only way I see Katie winning is putting in massive pace and try and batter Cameron's face early like the later rounds and not give up. She can't start slow or it's curtains.

I think Katie is technically a better boxer than Cameron but she doesn't have the power pace and strength to match Cameron right now.

I agree 100%.

She's obsessed with boxing and the idea of retiring probably won't even enter her head.

i've often said that I don't know what she'll do with herself once her career does end. What does she focus on?

I’m kinda saying it from first hand info in fairness, so it isn’t just my opinion admittedly - but it’s definitely the case she isn’t going anywhere. She loves it

Ah ok. Just hope she doesn't hang around too long.

I clearly don't know **** about boxing I had Cameron winning 8 or 9 rounds. Couldn't believe a judge gave it a draw

The depressing thing if we get the rematch I will obviously cheer her on, but even if she wins I will worry like many that she will think

"I may as well fight another elite opponent and make more money", this will all catch up on her sadly.

Katie does not have Tyson Fury money obviously , but she should be comfortable enough and she does not come across as someone who would be dumb with money. Heck if she wanted a payday I would nearly prefer her to take some gimmick fight with some UFC/Bellator fight which would have much less risk.

Very different from mens boxing, it seems to be a case of just standing there with both punching their faces off, maybe it's because women don't have the KO power, so they can do that. But isn't boxing about stick and move, hit and not get hit, that is the art of boxing.

Boxing is not about any one particular thing. Ideally hit and don’t get hit would be brilliant for everyone, but of course, it can’t be like that.

Katie is a boxer/mover, but again, there are times when you also have to think hard about what you need to do to win. And boxers have to be able to adapt and do a bit of everything to win. Sometimes that includes getting out of your comfort zone and digging deep and taking risks and taking punishment.

I hear it a lot: boxer should not have done this, that or the other and should have stuck to their plan n all that. Boxing doesn’t always allow you to stick to your plans.

There have been many times where Katie has went to war and slugged it out, and these decisions were reasons why she actually won; as the trying to be cute and slick and hit and don’t get hit wasn’t really working. Also, other times she had no choice but to go to war, as some of her opponents did not allow her just stick and move…

Her biggest win V Serrano was actually won in the trenches. Yes, her movement and sticking and not getting tagged worked, but she also had to, and needed to go to war.

Yep:

A punch or two can badly mark a face. Seen many fights where a clear winner was bruised and marked and the loser not. Lot of this is just down to physiology. Some boxers mark up very easily.

2 or 3 mins the women just don’t generate near the power in their punches..
