Is it just me or is Katie Taylor terrible?

[tonysoprano]

All women boxers are trash.

Women's boxing only exists to satisfy the woke brigade who think it's a sign of equality.

I quite enjoy watching Katie. Not more than men's boxing, but she's entertaining for a female fighter.

I think she's very skilled. Unfortunately 2 minute rounds mean every round is a war.

Fix the 2 minute rounds and we'll have a sport worth watching more of.

I see she has this huge fight lined up.

I remember hearing how Taylor was this amazing amateur and had unbelievable boxing skills.

I've seen her fight loads of times on AJ unddrcards and I've literally never once been impressed.

Her opposition is usually supposedly levels below her in skills and pedigree but Taylor always ends up in a toe to toe struggle and usually just barely wins due to superior conditioning.

You see the odd flash of skill here and there but for the most part it's always to toe toe, heads down, swinging away with Taylor just barely getting the better of it.

For someone with such pedigree and supposedly such vast skill why does she never look in charge in a fight?

Its always tricky with Women's boxing to define terrible... I actually believe that we will learn how to travel at the speed of light before we can answer such things as: Why Ronda Rousey, who was so thoroughly dominant in MMA, could just come apart at the seams... why there is such a disparity of talent with women fighters in general... I mean if the level of "good" is Taylor for example, why do we get so many below Taylor? I mean Earl... I came upon a Kathy Long fight yesterday and she, a generation removed from when female fighters had the training opportunities they have now, looked like she could clean her division out. I mean weve had big female punchers, etc! Yet women's boxing always seems to fall way down... and we get a few decent fighters who look like great champions!

It makes no sense... and considering that Taylor got her clock cleaned and lost twice to that slugger she fought, it looks downright pathetic.

Taylor is one of the more protected fighters out there... She losses and like Broner, gets her hand raised. And no, it is not your imagination, she is awful.

She beat jessica mccaskill and linardatou (who beat alycia baumgardner).
who did amanda serrano beat?

No offense, but who cares? There really is no one out there to beat... Probably the best hitter is NUnes and she does not even box, imagine that lol.

[southpaw_07]

She's ok as a fighter, but the biggest issue are her post-fight interviews, sounds like 2 voices in one, never heard anything like that before.

She sounds like she's got a kazoo stuck in her throat, as someone in stream chat once said lol

Sr's impression of Amir Khan definitely applies to Katie Taylor

- - It's always been U moaning about sumpin' by default.

I wouldn't know since I have never watched nor will watch women boxing though, yeah, had to endure the era of l'l SissyBoyFloydy since that stink counts as a female boxing.

Make no mistake, cecilia breakhaus is one of the best ever female boxers. Mccaskill beat her to become undisputed.
so KT beating her is impressive.

Best hitter based on? Isnt she on steds?

I don't know if she is on the juice... I just know there is virtually no consistency when we look at women's boxing. NUnes seems to have the most power... Its a myth about smaller glove size making punches more potent.

Your invoking some sort of triangle theory above... Even with consistency this often does not logically tell us what we think it does... I would not think it tells us much about Taylor, though I have heard Breakhaus is excellent.
