Katie Taylor vs Holly Holm

[rickJen]

Let's just have fun with this one.
It feels like people's biases get in the way of objectivity to the point
where they become kids who would say the darnedest things.

First, I have zero interest in women's boxing, as I've stated in many threads.
But, of course, we catch glimpses of what's going on inside their fights
to the extent where it's not hard to spot who the real deals are.

Didn't even watch the Taylor/Serrano in its entirety. Didn't care who won.
Switched to the other fight event after the 4th round. (I can't remember the
other fight card in another channel that was also going on that night.)


So who do you got here? (We'll make a separate thread for the Cyborg one.)

BTW, this fight is not so hard to make, if you think about it.
I don't see anything that would make it impossible to happen.
So better be honest with yourselves and back up what you say.

Holly Holm ducked what would've been her biggest career payday to that point when the WBC ordered her to fight a prime Cecilia Braekhus. That's when she stopped being a two sport fighter and focused on MMA.

Her time as a boxer is over. You can't just take 10 years off and then come back and fight P4P level fighters.

Katey has judges

Katey has judges

That's fine. At least we have something here.
You clearly see it as very competitive and you're so sure
the fight will last 10-12 rounds. And that the fight will be
so close....

I'd like to see Holm get a tune-up. BTW, she is very, very good a drop second level and looping her left over the top. Taylor is possibly open to getting hurt from that shot. Something like Thurman did to Porter. It's really a blind punch you don't see coming. I'm game for the fight, always liked Holm.

- - Holly older, better looking, bigger, stronger, more accomplished, and inactive as I recall.

I sorta fancy myself over Ali, Joe Louis, and Jack Dempsey now, so there it is.

Never seen more than a few seconds it takes to change the screen of Womens' Boxing, but I respect their efforts and follow results.

Not so U...

Eddie Hearn is fond of resurrecting retired fighters from the dead. So no surprise if he'll make this fight at the drop of a hat. You want this fight? You'll have it soon. Youtubers need to remind Hearn about this fight.

[real raw]

Holm is old AF.....for a boxer. I dont know how this fight even got made.

[paulf]

The Cyborg fight is the fight to make - she's a much better name and her power would make it at least interesting.

Holm has been shot for years and years and womens boxing has leveled-up significantly since then. Would be a clown show of a fight.
