The idea is to not let them box, don't let them rest, and be willing to take one in order to give one, it involves a lot of bravery, stamina, and determination, but they were three things that Cameron has in abundance.
With the rematch scheduled to take place at the end of May, Taylor has posted a training clip on social media, not something that she would normally do when preparing for a fight.
The clip shows trainer Ross Enamait holding the punch shield, and propping it up at angles where his fighter can throw either a lead hook or a back hook.
This is a punch that is particularly effective against pressure fighters who like to come charging in, so the idea is that you give them something to meet when they make their way forward, and they walk into it.
Typically known for her hand speed, quick feet, and boxing IQ, Taylor usually throws a check-hook, where she spins off to the side as she throws the punch, but in this clip her feet are planted, and there's real spite in the shots thrown.
In the last fight Cameron was too good at cutting the ring off, and making it small, for her opponent to spin off into the space, so going by this clip, it looks like Taylor is working on her inside game.
It's unlikely that Taylor wants to turn it into dog-fight, as that suits the new champion's style more, but she will go into the bout this time understanding that there will be moments in the fight where there's no escaping a shoot-out on the inside.
When those moments arise, the feet will be planted, and punches will be thrown with real venom in order to get the best of the exchange.
In other words, us fans are in for a hell of a fight!
