Australian boxer Ebanie Bridges expects Chantelle Cameron to 'blitz' Katie Taylor in rematch

Australian Boxer Ebanie Bridgers expects Chantelle Cameron to 'blitz' Katie Taylor in the pair's rematch later this year, believing the English fighter will be too strong for Taylor.

The Bray Boxer suffered her first professional loss in her career last month when Cameron won by unanimous decision at the 3Arena and talks are well underway for a rematch between the pair.

But fellow professional boxer Bridges believes that the result will be the same even if the fight is at a lighter weight.

Speaking to bitcoincasinos.com, Bridges said: "Oh, Chantelle blitzes it. Too strong – I’d always pick Chantelle anyway and I had no doubt she’d win the last fight vs Taylor. She’s just better – I think the only thing Katie Taylor has on her is speed.

"But other than that Chantelle Cameron’s defense is brilliant – her pressure is brilliant - her punch selection is brilliant and has great speed and is strong. I just think she’s better all-round."

And Bridges also believes women's boxing is getting more and more respect.

"It’s definitely getting more of the respect it deserves and I’d say in the last 3 or 4 years more so now than ever. We are getting good matches and more girls in the sport.

"Obviously, Katie Taylor was amazing for the sport, but her fights were very one-sided and wasn’t competitive enough then and people don’t want to see lob-sided fights. One star back then wasn’t enough, but now we’ve got so many stars in women's boxing and there’s no 2-3 years waiting for fights – we just fight."
