what a bunch of clowns bringing this up right at a press conference with contracts signed, just a cheap stunt by a bunch of not even sure what u would call them, i thought serrano and her team were displaying some class, she refused to go to the uk and pulled out of the last fight even tho eddie guaranteed her purse when taylor took a paycut, and gets this fight at home and still is complaining, shes right back to her dive self im afraid, she cant change, just get on with the fight and stop whinning for once, u got the fight and the titles right in your backyard ya douchbag

They are not clowns they have shook up Katie Taylor, lets be blunt Taylor cannot punch, Serrano is going to win.

top notch mind games. Too far down the road to make it happen though even if she did agree.

Katie Taylor is a 3, maybe a 3.5 on a good day. Would never root for her.

One of the things that make Woman’s boxing exciting is the fast pace 2 minute rounds ,not really a good thing , adding a minute on doesn’t sound like much but Woman are going to tire faster resulting in more sloppy fights in later rounds it is what it is .

Even the 10 rounds of 3 minutes would be much better

2 minute rounds are garbage, By the time the action gets going, the round is coming to an end

Taylor would prefer 2 minutes though, she still as an amateur tippy tap style of landing powerless flurries for points.

I disagree. It just lends itself to fighters like Katie Taylor landing flurries with no power just to score points. It also diminishes the skill levels because they rush their work to trying win rounds in limited time.

Three-minute rounds would require a bit more patience, which would lend itself to cleaner work and probably more knockouts.

Most women’s scraps are already sloppy because of the short time available to them, look at most Taylor fights.

Three minute rounds requires a lot more physical strength ,what you don’t realize 3 minute rounds are basically adding an entirely different fight with almost double the time of having to keep the hands up an extra 3 or 4 rounds is a lot for a female . Yes you can slow the pace down but this is woman’s boxing if you know how they fight they don’t exactly employ the same figure out tactics men do they fight on emotion more . Three minute rounds would on,y see less skill as they are going to fatigue much faster .

Not a good look at all….Serrano definitely is the dominant fighter mentally

Why do you say that? There is nothing wrong with her mental. Why would you want to fight potentially an extra 12 minutes because your opponent wants you to? If Ugas suggested to Spence lets fight for 15 rounds like they used to and Spence declined, so what. Boxers are not getting paid for over time. i know she is elated but calm the fu*ck down. Having said that i'm rooting for just simply because she has struggled her whole life. I like Katie Taylor but i prefer hard knock life victories

fair enough... are you talking about her boxing skills or looks?

I think title fights should be Nine 3 min rounds . Rounds should start off 3x3 , 5x3 , 7x3 , 9x3 . Think that would produce much better fights
