Katie Taylor can understand why people were taken aback to her stepping out of character in publicly calling for a showdown with any fighter.

because your fights are rigged you wont get beat get knocked out youd win a split decision

I respect both women for taking the fight, but unless Cameron knocks Taylor down repeatedly or Katie's corner throws in the towel, Chantelle will not win a decision in Ireland. Otherwise, I think that Cameron would win, but we all know......

You act like every major fight Katie is in is a robbery.
These fights are close because the competition is elite.
At this level, it's hard to call close fights robberies.
Katie has yet to take a thorough beatdown from anyone.

Agree with this, though I think KT got a gift in that first Persoon fight.

Props to Katie for taking tough fights lately, but she clearly lost the first Persoon fight and the Serrano fight. Anyone who denies this is denying the truth.

If you can beat Cameron fair and square I will give you credit

The Persoon fight isn't fresh enough in my memory, but I do remember thinking that she very well could've lost that before the decision was announced. Serrano I disagree, I think she did enough and outclassed her in the second half of the fight and won. There is no version of reality where she "clearly lost" that one. Serrano just plodded forward eating punches and applying ineffectual pressure. I believe I remember thinking Taylor won by 1 round or potentially a draw, I definitely didn't think she lost. Either way, Serrano was outclassed over the course of the fight and I have no doubt that Taylor will win more convincingly if they rematch.

Serrano had the most impressive round, but KT outboxed or outfought her in 7/10 rds. Close fight, but only controversial because of that 5th round.
