Undercard fight:
Taylor defeats Persoon again, still undisputed
In a rematch, undisputed WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO female lightweight champion Katie Taylor (16-0, 6 KOs) took a hard-fought ten round unanimous decision over Delfine Persoon (44-3, 18 KOs) on Saturday night at Matchroom Fight Camp in Brentwood, Essex, England. Taylor won a controversial majority decision over Person 14 months ago, and this fight wasn’t any easier. Perssoon, who lost to an amateur in the Olympic qualifying, brought relentless pressure, but judges had Taylor ahead 98-93, 96-94, 96-94.

Was good to see some boxing this morning, well done povetkin what a great punch. That's why I love watching the heavyweights anyone can win.
It's a pity Parker couldn't have k.Od him in similar fashion.

True, but Hearn has just lost one of his stable fighters competing for a title. I believe Hearn is pushing for the rematch clause for Whyte/Povetkin II.
Call me crazy, but I see Wilder winning Fury/Wilder III.

Gidday crazy lol
I would love to see Wilder more competitive next fight just not sure he has skills to cope with Fury, but as below shows 1 punch can change a fight even if you look done

You're a funny man! Of course Wilder doesn't have the skills, but he has the punch. I'm thinking Wilder thought Fury would be easy to KO after the first fight. Fury had him on the back foot, and Wilder didn't know what to do. In Fury/Wilder III, Wilder will get rid of the armor that's weighing him down and KO him this time.

Well wilder has to improve, I think he was shocked Tyson was able to walk him down and nullify his power that way.
Can he unlock the Tyson puzzle? He has a key but its a matter of landing it.
Can't wait to see it

Fury seems to get better and better with each fight and rise to the level of his opposition.
If wilder can learn some boxing fundamentals he could adapt and destroy Fury, but I think Furys boxing IQ and his ceiling is just too high.
Imo the only way Fury will lose is if he ever heads down another rabbit hole in himself.
