Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor Rallies To Secure Split Decision Over Amanda Serrano in Classic

[Realizniguhnit]

Can only mark my own card and agree she definitely was in trouble in a couple of rounds, but when I scored the fight, the rounds that she moved and boxed on the outside (Start and end) were enough to win the fight. Could go down the rabbit hole looking at judging and the motivations of others but she boxed well at the beginning, started to get hit hard and get the **** boxed off her and she adjusted correctly and boxed to win the last few rounds and close it off.

When Taylor moved and boxed she was still getting out landed she was moving more than throwing what Stevenson is doing to Valdez, that is what you call boxing offense and defense..I thought round 7 was toss up rounds 8-9 Taylor and round 10 Katie loss that and the fight at the point..

You telling me Katie won by 3 rounds? Don't act like you don't know who Eddie Hearn is man. They weren't going to let Amanda move up 2 weight classes and beat the face of women's boxing outside of knocking her out, 2 scorecards made that much clear..

I don't think you're reading my comments properly so I'm going to spell it out.

NO, I don't think KT won by 3 rounds. I'm not even convinced she won at all.

I'm saying that she's the 'home fighter' as its a DAZN promotion, and the home fighter always gets at least one card in their favour, as seen in the men's game all of the time.

What I disagreed with is that she's got the nod because of her contributions to women's boxing. Its not as deep as that, she's just a DAZN/ Matchroom fighter on a DAZN/ Matchroom card.

Gonna watch it back, because the key rounds for me were the first 3-4 where they were ****ing impossible to score, though that might have been because my alarm had just gone off and I couldn't see for ****.

and she is a DAZN fighter why? because of her contributions to women's boxing. Come on man, it's all related and yes I did read your comments..

I had Taylor 1, shading 2 as Serrano hadn't really found her range, 3rd as Katie landed more marginally, taylor landed more in 4th but getting hit harder and getting cut so gave 4th to Serrano as well as 5th, 6th and 7th, and the last round was close so not too sure there. Don't see how anyone can claim robbery with a fight that close.

Some rounds were def close and hard to score but the 2 judges seem to give all close rounds to Taylor but even in those rounds she was missing a lot right along with Serrano and the round she almost got KO'ed should have been a 2 pt round for Serrano I just don't see any scenario were Taylor won the fight by any amount of points, it was a draw at best and that's pushing it imo

Taylor was definitely rocked but don't think she was ever not throwing back or close to getting knocked down or knocked out. What did you score it?

[Roj]

Not sure how the Anglo won, but it sure did look like she shat herself when she heard the decision. Very disgraceful scores..one judge had Serrano winning 3 rounds..lol Phuk her/him,that **** was silly

Lol I thought the same thing about Taylor -she looked like she couldn’t believe she won but then realized “Oh wait, I gotta sell this” and ran over to jump on the ropes. Pretty disgraceful decision but Serrano opened the door by taking her foot off the gas in Round 6. She made it possible for them to steal the fight from her.

Didn't write it down but I think I had Taylor winning or possibly winning rounds 1,3,7,8 and 9 at best but I gave 7 to Amanda even though Taylor was catching her 2nd wind and swaying to commentators at that point but the cleaner harder punches were still landed by Serrano in that round imo. I gave Amanda round 1 too I think but it was a toss up. On twtiiter not many people have Taylor winning even people from her homeland..

[Eddegear]

I thought Taylor won by a round. I felt Serrano let off the gas in 8th and 9th rounds. The 10th was close but I gave to Taylor. Probably the best female fight I’ve ever seen and it lived up to the hype. Great fight ladies.
