Katie Taylor came up short in attempt to add another belt to her collection

Katie Taylor is one of the most decorated boxers in the history of the sport, regardless of gender and remains the undisputed lightweight champion but couldn’t get it done tonight. Bad Left Hook’s Scott Christ said, “Cameron used a tremendous pressure game plan and was able to physically neutralize Taylor.”

MMA Mania’s Dan Hiergesell wrote, “Taylor tried to impose her will early on, but it was Cameron who landed the more meaningful shots in the opening rounds. Taylor scored some solid rights along the way only to have Cameron respond with lead jabs and constant forward movement.

“Both women would exchange crisp shots and inside barrages in the middle half of the fight leading into the later frames. They almost traded rounds on the scorecards as the action was real tight. Cameron was just a little more active and ended up defending her light-welterweight title on enemy soil.”
