Straightforward
There were no rumblings in the background in the making of this match. Only contract negotiations since Taylor had already accepted a public challenge by Chelsea. They settled on a 50-50 split of the purse due to the challenger’s appeal drawing attention to the matchup.
There are, however, intense reactions to an anticipated superfight.
Massive, massive match. It wouldn’t be out of place as a world championship. I’m booking my flight and hotel now, and thank @chelseacarter in advance for a free ticket 😆
Pro tip: bring a shield. Chelsea and Taylor are nuclear powers.
What a fight coming our way 👀
My heart beats for @chelseacarter as a friend and highly skilled boxer but my head says that @taylorgrant is the last chick you want to go against at Super Lightweight.
Elsie Nadege, who doesn’t hide her primal love for pugilism, weighs in.
Who gets this one? Grant is a dangerous favourite but I say that Carter scores the upset. She’s got that ability to survive even when she shouldn’t.
Either way, the sound of their punches will be exquisite 😍
My prediction: @taylorgrant defeats @chelseacarter
Grant has the faster hands, the more complete game and the most maturity between the two. The perfect collection of assets to endure and come out on top.
