Katie Taylor - Delfine Persoon



Persoon robbed in fight, ugly scoring.

close fight. draw or Persoon win to me. Taylor was exhausted in the last round and almost got knocked out. Persoon won her rounds more decisively. She landed harder and cleaner punches. Her technique skills aren't great but Taylor had a terrible defence today, except of her superior footwork. Persoon also had decent stamina, better than KT, she was very active all the time and she was the attacking fighter, she was coming forward all the time.

Persoon won by 4 rounds imo.

You are delusional.

Peerson did far more damage - that's what the pro games about. I appreciate maybe some of Taylors work could have gone unnoticed due to her speed (Peersons face tells a tale) and it would be acceptable to argue a draw. However a draw and robbery are not mutually exclusive. It's either a draw or a Peerson win in my mind and thus its a robbery given that Taylor was awarded the decision.

persoon deserved it clearly, bad decision

The Jackal had it 8-2 for Persoon....

if we score a fight as a whole, like it was just long 1 round, i would clearly have it for Persoon. However, in boxing we score round by round so i had it 95-95 or 96-94 Persoon.

Then he is more delusional. Just kidding. To each their own. I had it a draw real time. Persoon was stronger at the end.

I (and possibly most ppl) got Persoon won, stupid result, Taylor lost....

any way to score fights persoon desrerved it more, i guess some ppl just ahead of time already bought into 'oh taylors such a skillful boxer, clearner puncher' etc

taylor was getting roughed up most of the fight, this aint patty cake

That is what i said in my next post

compubox stats are often joke though

btw, wasn't round 5 actually one of the most clearly won by Persoon?

Apart from this result, I think it was a good tournament. But Delfine deserved to win this one.
