Amanda tried boxing with Katie. That’s playing Taylor’s game. Just a bad idea, and not just in retrospect.
Without a doubt. I get trying something new, but that was bad.
Serrano's trainer was giving wierd instructions
Saying she was winning and dont pressure because taylor will hold
Horrific
Tactics and gameplan dreadful. but I think a boxer should know when it ain't working and take matters into their own hands. Serrano did not. Nash out - His Majesty
She's never been robbed in any of these fights
boxing is scored round by round and I have no qualms about Taylor winning more rounds in all 3.
Serrano had bigger moments in the other fights but it doesn't mean she won more rounds.
There's been no robberies. Just close fights.
That's how I see it. I felt Taylor definitely did enough round by round in fight 1. Fight 2 I edged Seranno, fight 3 clear Taylor. So won at least 2 of the 3, if not all 3. Nash out - His Majesty
Nah she was throwing the 2 minus. It just wasn’t landing cuz Katie footwork too quick.
The footwork was quicker as in the other fights but I posted before that Serrano had to use feints, she was predictable. The feints would had Katie countering the feint or move out of position. Wrong tactic just to come in with a one two.
No debate at all this time. Taylor the clear winner. Serrano fought the completely wrong fight. The way she fought in the first two was her best chance, this way, her chances went from 45% to 15%. 7-3 Taylor. Nash out - His Majesty

No way Katie won the second fight.
Wrong tactic by the Serrano team. No body work and lack of pressure.

What was Serrano’s plan?????
she thought she was going to outbox the naturally quicker fighter…AT HER GAME?
Surprised she didn’t abandon that gameplan after three or four rounds. She needed to drag Katie through the mud and wear her out. Instead, she just let her potshot and check hook to her heart’s content.
………..DAMMIT. I’m going to bed. I hope Shakur and Berlanga don’t do something like this tomorrow.
I was expecting Serrano to abandon her "boxing" and turn it into a brawl. As you alluded to, that would've been her best chance to win.
Right decision.
I feel bad for Serrano. First 2 were close and competitive, but I thought she won the first go around.
But that was the cleanest that Katie looked.
Good win for Katie, and the worst one as far as action.
Agree. The third fight of trilogies aren’t usually action-packed. Usually they start to hunker down…this was another case of it and deep in my heart it’s what I expected. Tactical…but I expected it to be a lot more entertaining than that.
That was a pathetic effort from both boring fight expected more especially since Amanda got completely robbed both previous fights she needed to go for the ko

Serrano lost clearly AND we all clearly lost.
Yeah man I was hyping them up telling people about it.
I had one friend who isn’t a boxing fan tuning in. Now he’s gonna go on his, “boxing sucks,” shtick again, and while he isn’t wrong, he certainly isn’t right either!
I felt like there was something just slightly off with Amanda tonight, but Katie was 100% dialed in. The results show it. Clear victory for Taylor — her clearest, for sure.
Taylor won this fight. Serrano looked like she had no fire and was getting tagged a lot in the final round. Her boxing ability isn't great and she seems like she doesn't want to grind out a rough, physical fight. That was her best strategy.

Serrano a tad more technical this time was not going to beat Katie. Her best shot was as she previously fought her. A bit more wild and reckless but more output. The writing was on the wall the second I saw Amanda slower and more technical.
