This time, Taylor justifiedly emerged as the victor, winning by a majority decision. The judges scored the bout 98-92 and 96-94 in her favor, while one card read 95-95. Despite some contentious rounds that made scoring challenging, Taylor showcased her superior boxing skills in this rematch, strategically unleashing her combinations and disrupting Cameron's efforts.
Cameron faced the added challenge of dealing with a significant cut on her forehead from an early clash of heads. The doctor assessed the severity of the injury twice before the four-round mark.
Although blood continued to flow, it did not alter the course of the fight. Both fighters were eager to trade blows, with many expecting Cameron to excel in such exchanges.
While neither boxer came close to a knockout, Taylor's punches in this rematch carried more force than in their first encounter, even though they didn't deter Cameron from pressing forward.
Despite never seriously threatening to stop Cameron, and vice versa, Taylor, now 37 years old, managed to establish a lead by the halfway point. She demonstrated strategic fighting and clever holding, keeping Cameron in a position where she was always playing catch-up.
Taylor, openly calling for a trilogy fight at Croke Park, suggests that these two formidable fighters are likely to meet again in 2024. Both are poised to compete for legacy and the most significant paydays of their careers.
