Person brings in camp in second part

Persoon and Mekhaled made it a camp to tell you. Even though she was only in Abu Dhabi at the eleventh hour, Persoon left no doubt that this was the opportunity she wanted to seize. As support act for Mayweather, Persoon definitely took the lead. Mekhaled had not yet lost in her fifteen camps and suffered the storm that Persoon caused, but was also able to strike back from cover from time to time.

Halfway through, there was still no clarity with the jury, after which Persoon shifted up a gear. Mekhaled could not find an answer to this. Persoon definitely took the initiative, and that convinced the jury who unanimously declared her the victor after ten rounds: 97-94, 97-93 and 96-94.

For example, Persoon wins the WBC-Silver belt in the super featherweights. She hopes that she has a chance, at 37, in a fight against the current world champion in that class: Alicia Baumgartner. For Persoon – who wants to end her career with a highlight – an ultimate dream.
