"Katie got tired," he said, "Persoon won the second half of the fight very well but, for me, Katie Taylor won the first half very well."Three-time world champion Carl Froch was emphatic in his belief that the Belgian should have had her hand raised. Froch commented:
"Katie was under relentless pressure from Persoon, from round one to round 10. She got hit with too many shots. "[Taylor] got dragged into a dog-fight and, for me, she lost that fight. Persoon was robbed of victory this evening.

In fairness to Froch, he relented somewhat by saying it was a close fight before he called for an immediate rematch. As for Bellew, he had something to say to anyone wringing their hands over the result: "Just watch the fight! She hasn't won clearly. This hasn't been a daylight robbery. It's been a close fight." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sn3REeuf5s Some strong opinions on a night of high drama at MSG.
