Homecoming Statistics: Cameron Threw Almost Double The Amount Of Taylor's Punches

Taylor faced Chantelle Cameron on Saturday night, in front of a sold-out crowd in Dublin 3Arena. Both fighters gave it their all, and punch statistics from the fight illustrated how much damage both combatants dealt one another.
