    Bellew looks like someone’s just shat on his kids. Hilarious, got a right face on.

    I disagree. Even there McCaskill fight was close and she could have lost that one without the headbutt in the opening round.

    We all have said Taylor has regressed after each fight. The Serrano one especially was the final nail in the coffin.
    Closer than 2/1 I think. It was very close. Taylor was a slight favourite.

    Chantelle went into the Lion's Den, surrounded by biased judges and commentators, faced a hostile crowd, failed to have her National Anthem played, had to enter the ring first as a Champion - yet she is STILL the Champion.

    Very proud of Chan tonight.

    100% correct. Nobody is going at and burning tickets for Cameron. She fought well in fairness, but that’s not always how it works.

    Felt a bit like Canelo-Bivol tonight. Not in quality terms of course - it was high-octane but not high quality. But in terms of a top fighter going up a weight class and biting off more than they can chew.

    No shame for Taylor tonight imho, it was a hugely ambitious goal.

    Disappointed to hear the rematch stuff afterwards, but ultimately it's probably the best payday for both parties, especially Cameron. No way Cameron headlines anything other than a minor show unless it's vs Taylor in Dublin.

    Credit to her and hope she makes enough to retire on.

    I love Katie Taylors story and how far she has come, but IMO she should pack it in now, the eraanns have had their pound of flesh and she looks different now, just looking into her eyes she looks so sad and i feel for her.

    Even Natasha Jonas ran Taylor close and she got obliterated by journeywomen Vivienne Obenhauf.

    Chan simply too much for Taylor since her mid twenties

    Cheers. Didn't know they had it that close. I do wonder if judging is a factor when creating the odds, and I imagine it would be, would Cameron have been the favourite if dodgy judging wasn't an issue. It wasn't tonight thankfully.

    Totally agree. I think shes dedicated herself to the sport so much to the point its her whole life...that she,s probably left with the daunting task of almost starting her life now without it. Hoping someone talks sense to her...the bodies slowing down. Tonight would have been perfect to win and call time on a wonderful career....hopefully one or two more maximum and time to walk off and enjoy her life and achievements.
