Comments Thread For: Amanda Serrano: The WBC Refused To Evolve The Sport For Equality; So, I am Relinquishing Their Title

Yeah and on this occasion the people making the rules are not the ones participating. She can choose to fight how she wants, no one has to accept to fight her.

Of course she can choose how she chooses to fight. But if no one accepts to fight her on that basis, you don't have a contest and she's not part of the sport. She's just someone with no one to fight.

The notion that the sanctioning bodies would change the round limit that's been in place since 1880 or whenever it was if Floyd wanted to fight 2 minute rounds is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen on here. I really hope you're trolling.

I didn’t say anything about the organisation. I’m saying if she wants to fight 3 mins then she can, drop the belt. If Floyd had wanted to lots of ppl would still have bent over to fight him, whether there were belts involved or not.

Any sport has two opposing sides. All sports have rules. Consequently, one side can't do whatever they want. That's how sport works.

To be honest what matters if women fight 3 mins? It's not as if they are fighting Men. They are fighting their fellow women so no danger.

Female MMA fight the same 5 mins as male and it is quite entertaining with no issues. In UFC female fight 3 rounds 5 mins for non championship match and 5 rounds 5 mins for championship match same as Men and no problem whatsoever even in a 4 ounce glove.

My take is women boxing should still maintain the 10 rounds but with 3 mins and 6 ounce gloves instead of 8 ounces so we can get to see more knockouts and stoppages in women boxing.

i doubt very much shes up for it, shes already bailed out of that fight with taylor and taylor went on to fight cameron twice, i dont see or hear anything from serrano that leads me to believe shes on that plane for a fight over there, nothing whatsoever, 2 min or 3 min rounds & for another huge payday for her as well, i hope im proven wrong but i doubt it, if she was really interested she would be all over taylors remarks nailing it down

This is a bit too many replies for a women's fight.

i have no idea. Serrano already fought a 12x 3 min round fight and says she's only fighting 3 min rounds going forward, so I'm sure she'll be up for that. Serrano's proven the courage of her convictions by dumping her WBC belt, while KT has merely made some casual comments about fighting under men's rules.

taylor is looking for an opponent for a stadium fight in ireland to make lots of dosh and has said she would like serrano as an opponent and would fight 3 min rounds with her, what is serranos response to this?

Agreeing to fight min rounds means a hell of a lot more than just saying so casually in an interview. I think that's fairly obvious.

shes agreed to 3 mins rounds and welcomes it and says it would suit her style, what more do u want her to do, the first fight as explained a millions times was a serrano stunt and it was in the run up to the fight in a pressie and would not have been for undisputed as the wbc dont sanction 3 min lady rounds, which was what serrano herself was going on and on about, taylor said that and serrano promptly shut her pie hole

While I admire her tenacity and dedication so far she’s the only female fighter I hear demanding 3 minutes rounds, she needs to take her colleagues into consideration and hear their input, rather than assume they all want what she wants, yes she’s a great champion, but she has to respect the fact that she doesn’t speak for all female fighters.

600 points, truth.
