Taylor lucky to not get points deducted for constant holding. She is a brilliant role model and sportsperson, but there are too many times where it's like charity boxing where she just stands and flails with her opponent as opposed to hitting and not being hit. She also spends a lot of tye later rounds in every fight staggering about.

I thought she was in more danger of a deduction for leading with the head. It happened a lot in the first few rounds.

Not sure about the knockdown you don't normally get one from a jab but it's possible if she was caught in the right spot.

I think she was just caught off balance, it was more of a push than a jab, still it's a knockdown. Hard to credit in a fight where boxers are battering each other to bits, that such a harmless knockdown would cost you the round by 2 points. It looked so accidental and with Katie popping back up instantly, could it be that the ref just didn't deem it worthy of a knockdown and subsequent points penalty?

If she gets punched and she goes down, it's a knockdown. If she's off balance and a punch puts her down, it's a knockdown. Ref can't decide a punch wasn't forceful enough to put her down and therefore rule it not a knockdown.

Ref must have decided it was either a slip (hard to see how as she definitely got tagged) or she tripped as Cameron may have stood on her foot.

Knockdowns are hard to achieve hence the reward score wise. Doesn't matter how heavy the punch or fall was. I remember Yarde, Dubois and Brook both getting knocked out with jabs too.

Good win for McComb

Can't see McKenna surviving 10 rounds here.

Mckenna just a human punching bag.  The East Belfast guy just way more powerful

Thanks.

Mc Kenna never won a round, he took some punishment, Crocker looks the part, be interesting to see what level he reaches.

Conlon entrance music absolute dung. You need something to hype the crowd up.

At some stage, you can't blame the trainers. Conlan is fairly chinny unfortunately.
