Boxing fans are in for a treat this weekend as Katie Taylor seeks redemption in Dublin on Saturday night against Chantelle Cameron. The undisputed lightweight champion, Taylor, ventured into the super-lightweight division earlier this year, aiming to claim Cameron’s belts. However, she suffered her inaugural professional defeat in a points loss.
On the 25th of November, Taylor will strive to become a two-weight undisputed champion on her home turf. Despite her underdog status following the May defeat, the Irish hero embraces the opportunity for a comeback. Who will come out on top in this much awaited women’s boxing title fight?

The first fight between Cameron and Taylor was reasonably clear-cut and the judges might have been a bit generous with their scoring. Given this context, predicting the outcome of their next bout isn’t exactly rocket science.
The younger and stronger Cameron overpowered Taylor in May, which will probably happen again this Saturday. It was a tough go for the 37-year-old, who, let’s face it, got lucky in the fight before against Amanda Serrano.
Cameron’s secret weapons against her opponent are whiplash jabs and relentless body attacks. These kept Taylor at a distance, leaving her struggling to find a way in and throw some punches. It’s not a stretch to picture a repeat performance from Cameron again this time.
Sure, Taylor is competitive, but she won’t be able to crack Cameron’s defenses or outsmart her. As a tactically sound fighter, Cameron should quickly take over this fight without too much trouble. We’d put our money on Cameron winning by an even wider margin on the scorecards this time for a 1.80 return.
