May's extremely close affair was always going to see interest generated in a rematch between these two titans of women's boxing. One judge declared the contest a draw, while two scored it 96-94 in favour of England's Chantelle Cameron. The challenge was enormous for Cameron to pull off originally when looking to defeat the top pound-for-pound fighter, but she'll have her work cut out for her again if she's to see off Taylor twice in the space of six months.
For Taylor, daring to be great is simply part of her DNA. The Irish 37-year-old has been a pioneer in the sport, from winning five consecutive gold medals at the World Championships during her amateur days and being one of only eight boxers to hold all four major world titles to winning Olympic gold and helping sell out Madison Square Garden as part of the first women's boxing match at the iconic venue. Accepting the task of exacting revenge on Chantelle Cameron was a foregone conclusion after losing out on a decision earlier this year.
Chantelle Cameron vs Katie Taylor 2 Tips
Having delivered the goods in a hostile environment last time, Chantelle Cameron is the worthy favourite for this pair's rematch. Cameron's size and youth afforded her advantages that Katie Taylor could not match when she lost her undefeated status back in May. The jump up in weight was a step too far for her that night and we believe Saturday will prove too much again for the aging superstar.
At 37, Taylor has had an incredible career, acting as a trailblazer for the women's side of the sport. However, with age, some of Taylor's best attributes have clearly diminished, as you would expect. Their previous bout felt like a changing of the guard and with Cameron now holding the confidence of a win over Taylor, while also having managed the occasion perfectly, she'll only have grown in confidence heading into this second scrap.
Katie Taylor will start fast in the pursuit of revenge but that choice is expected to play into the hands of her competitor. Cameron is five years younger than the Irish fighter and can use her youth and stamina to see her through these difficult periods.
You can see how hungry the defending super-lightweight champion is to achieve greatness, tasting a glimpse of that when outpointing Taylor this year. That being said, some of the sheen was taken away from that feeling by leaving the decision in the judges' hands, so don't be surprised to see her searching for the stoppage this time around.
Katie's fitness isn't what it used to be, meaning if Cameron can make her work enough in the early stages of the fight, there is a chance that she expends so much energy that she cannot live with the younger, stronger champion later on. However, Katie Taylor is extremely durable and hasn't lost much of her toughness with age, dramatically limiting the chances of a first career knockout defeat.
May saw Taylor fade in the second half of the fight and when you consider that she won't be able to train like she used to and that brutal fights with world-class opponents will have taken their toll over the years, Cameron outlasting Taylor has a strong likelihood once more.
