Comments Thread For: Taylor-Serrano Pound-For-Pound Showdown Nearly Finalized, Eyed For April 30 At MSG

Katie Taylor is not British she's Irish, very big difference, and no way will she be humiliated

It's really not a big difference, British, Irish, you literally couldn't get closer without being the exact same nationality. It's hardly Japanese and etheopians is it

It's cool this is finally coming together. Looking for Serrano to come out of this with all the belts. Her volume, power, accuracy, and slickness is going to be too much for Taylor.

I agree 100%, Amanda Serrano's combined skill sets topped off by her devastating punching power will spell Katie Taylor's doom.
Katie's sheer will to win, coupled with her own skill, and toughness will make this a very contested fight between them both.
The difference in skill, power, and defense will start to somewhere around the 3rd, or 4th rounds, and Taylor's face will bear testament to that.
I don't think that Katie's face will hold up to the punishment that will be administered be one super champion Amanda Serrano.
Who also has a serious bone to pick with Taylor, and her promoter EddieHearn trying to short change her when the fight was initially scheduled almost 2 year's ago.

New York is one the American states with the most residents of Irish descent.

So Taylor will have a lot of loud supporters if the fight is held in NYC.

Much different than if it was a British fighter.

Lol her dads from England so she's half "British" are you saying that Northern Irish are not Irish as well? Also she's based out of the UK all her fights usually take place there so its safe to say she is based out of England she has literally never fought in Ireland as a pro.

Glad they're doing it in a neutral place. (I stand by that statement before some smart guy questions me why I say such thing.)

Basically, I just feel sorry for UK fighters losing miserably in front of their own people. Didn't you see Kiko Martinez being restrained by the ref while jumping up and down in jubilation when he KO'd Kid Galahad? The audience was ready to lynch him. Hehe... Kiko got it in the end. True story.

I saw that fight. It looked strange at the end of the fight in some funny way.
Here was Kiko jumping around the ring celebrating his victory over Galahad by KO,
yet his corners were afraid to climb up the ring and join Martinez in the celebration.
I rarely see things like that in this sport.

Prior to that, local champion Terri Harper got dominated and stopped by an unknown
American Alycia Baumgardner in the 4th round. Title was taken away with very little effort by the challenger.

I am exited for this fight ! I buy this one !warrr amanda!

[1hourRun]

Hahaha, lmao at that photoshop of Katie Taylor.

Whose body have you put her head on? Is that actually L'il Kim or am I losing it?

Indeed it is. The women's P4P Bori-wrecking-ball is going to show Katie Taylor who the 'Queen- Btch' is in this sport. AND THE NEW WOMENS UNDISPUTED LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, AMANDA 'REAL DEAL' SERRANO!!!

[Hugekcoc]

Can't wait for this fight. Taylor will cement her position as the greatest ever.

With respect, (1) Who exactly has Shields been 'racist' to? You know racial classification was a 17th century European construct, right?
(2) Who the hell's talking about her, anyway? The fighters are Taylor and Serrano, brother.

IM talking about her, this a women's boxing article and Im personally mentioning another women boxer who just so happens to be a racist PoS . And I don’t need no European history summary, Claressa Shields is a pro black racist ho….with respect

So wait, you go onto articles about, e.g., Golovkin or Wilder, then immediately start riffing on the exploits of KO Freshmart because "its men's boxing"? No you obviously don't.

European history is absolutely relevant because if you understood it, you'd understand racism is impossible without state power to back it up. E.g., anti-***ish, anti-hispanic and anti-black racism are problems because of legally enshrined policies of genocide, torture, colonial repression, and slavery against said groups.

Some formerly broke*** black woman chatting **** and calling someone a "cracker" isn't even remotely the same thing.

Tbh, I'm prob talking to a brick wall, here, but read a f***ing book
