    Scene it.
    This is just sad and it's only adding even more insult to injury for Delfine Persoon. Taylor doesn't deserve it and I hope Persoon gets that rematch at some point.

    In her successful amateur boxing career, Taylor won five consecutive gold medals at the Women's World Championships, gold six times at the European Championships, and gold five times at the European Union Championships. Hugely popular in Ireland, she is credited with raising the profile of women's boxing at home and abroad. Regarded as the outstanding Irish athlete of her generation, she was the flag bearer for Ireland at the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony before going on to win an Olympic gold medal in the lightweight division. Taylor turned professional in 2016 under Matchroom Boxing, and is known for her fast-paced, aggressive boxing style. As of July 2019, Taylor is ranked as the world's best active female lightweight, and number one pound-for-pound boxer by BoxRec.

    Looks like Delfine has gone back down to her more natural weight might be campaiging at feather in the future?
    And K-Tay has gone to 140.

    New York hasn't seen a robbery that bad since the Lufthansa heist popularised by the movie Goodfellas.

    Katie's a elegant pretty boxer in technique. But she lacks that pure man beast power, when she hits her opponents. Most weak male boxers need 3 or 4 punches to overwhelm their target. Katie needs about 7 or 8 clean blows just to mark up her female adversaries!
