Katie Taylor vs. Chantelle Cameron 2 has divided the opinion of fans, but a majority of the boxing professionals are giving the edge to Cameron.
Taylor and Cameron are set to rematch in one of the most highly anticipated boxing bouts of the year. The pair will face-off once again this weekend at the 3Arena in Dublin, almost six months since their first clash in the same venue.
The 'Bray Bomber' suffered the first loss of her professional career when she faced 'Il Capo' back in May. The 37-year-old came up short via majority decision, heartbreakingly losing her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO, and The Ring female light-welterweight titles whilst competing infront of her homecrowd for the first time in her career.

Katie Taylor should expect the same fight, says Chantelle Cameron
Undisputed light-welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron recently discussed her gameplan for her rematch with Katie Taylor this weekend.
During an interview with Sky Sports, Cameron was asked whether or not she intends to do anything differently from her first performance against Taylor back in May.
According to 'Il Capo', she is prepared to once again silence the Irish crowd by repeating the same steps as last time. She said:
"As long as I do on Saturday what I've been doing then Katie isn't going to stand a chance. I'm going to be all over her like a rash. May 20 I was in awe of Katie Taylor. This time I'm not in awe of her. I've already beat her, so now I'm coming here, defending my belts and it's more now for me that I'm cementing my own career."
