Katie Taylor retains her lightweight titles against Delfine Persoon

Different garden, same winner and a similarly contentious range of scorecards. Katie Taylor was given the verdict in a second thrilling fight with Delfine Persoon on Saturday night but the undisputed lightweight champion of the world might well have reservations about answering the clamour for a third engagement with the Belgian. Katie Taylor came out on top in a well-fought rematch against Delfine Persoon at 'Fight Camp' The judges scorecards read 98-93, 96-94, 96-94 in a hard-to-score encounter after round 10 In the views of many she did enough on Eddie Hearn's lawn to win, just as several others felt she did when they first met at Madison Square Garden 14 months ago. @KatieTaylor ❤️ �� — Conor McGregor August 22, 2020 Taylor remained silent on whether there would be another rematch shortly after the bell She said: 'I knew it would be a tough night. Taylor was sporting a large lump on her forehead by the end of the bout, but came out ahead Taylor's punches continued to be the cleaner down the stretch, but the sheer work-rate of Persoon and her landing of big hits – a heavy right hand by the challenger in the eighth was probably the best of the fight – meant the cards posed a risk to Taylor, who edged a frantic final round.
