Silence The Critics
After 15 pro-boxing fights spanning from 2016 to 2019, Katie Taylor has reached the pinnacle of the sport. With that comes the critics and doubters, which Katie plans to silence on August 22. It will be unfinished business when Katie and Delfine step in the ring again.
In a recent interview Irish broadcaster Rte.ie “Eddie Hearn says Katie Taylor has been desperate to silence those who believed Delfine Persoon won their bout last year, from the second the Irishwoman returned to the dressing room after the fight.”
“Many people believed Delfine Persoon won that fight,” said Hearn.
“I think ever since we walked back to the changing rooms, Katie Taylor has thought, ‘I want to put that thought out of people’s minds. It was a close fight, I believe I won but I will do it again and I will prove to you that I am the best’.”
Prediction
Our early prediction is that Katie will fight a smarter fight and plan not to get dragged into a dog fight again. That will be Delfines aim, to encourage the brawl and control the tempo of the fight. Expect Katie to win the early exchanges with crisp boxing and fluid movement, to win once again on the judges scorecards.
Taylor is overrated. While I expect her to box more cleanly this time around for the decision, she’s very lucky Amanda Serrano’s stupid management team bungled this opportunity because Katie would have gotten stopped by Amanda.
