Episode 2801: Don’t Doubt Katie Taylor, The Croker Question
“Don’t ever doubt me again” – Ireland, consider yourself told.
Katie Taylor avenged her only professional defeat with an exceptional points victory over Chantelle Cameron in the 3Arena on Saturday night, with a performance that franks her boxing greatness and rubber-stamps her place as one of Ireland’s most beloved sports-people.
We speak to former middle-weight world champion Andy Lee and the42’s Gavan Casey about an extraordinary atmosphere, a display for the ages, and the possibility of a final act for the trilogy.
There appears to be widespread enthusiasm for the idea of Croke Park hosting Taylor/Cameron III, but one of our presenting team is intent on bringing down the mood… and it’s not the Croke Park area resident in our midst either.
