Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor sc****s past bloodied Amanda Serrano in another classic

[Phase III]

I picked Serrano to win and think Katie won. However, the ref should have disqualified Katie for leading with her head, holding, and putting her weight on Serrano and taking her to the ropes constantly. Dirty fight Katie. Sham on you.

Amanda, stop talking about you being a featherweight. You walk around at 150 lbs. You keep saying you moved up 3 weight classes, then fight at featherweight and stop that nonsense. I bet you have no issue fighting at this weight and taking the money.

Tyson v Paul was a disgrace. Mike was throwing punches at some ghost. Nothing to be proud of, you fought an old man and ran throughout the fight like Mike used to run after stealing old ladies purses.

Last, Netflix was not ready to host the amount of viewers. Most of the fight was spent buffering.

TX is a big Latino and African American region although I feel like this is a NYC kinda fight. The pbc loyalists are out here bashing KT but it’s rascism when one of theirs.

Easier win than last time for KT. She always seems to do better in rematches. I had KT 7 rounds, Amanda 3. But with point deduction it's basically 6-4. Good job by the judges

don’t you mean, anything to keep this girl near the top just below shields? What’s with the white girl remark? That sort of talk has no business in this place. Which girl did you mean? The Irish girl or the Puerto Rican girl? It sounds so much nicer when things are said this way without the exclusions.

Well....he want talking about the brown one.

Serrano and her corner don't know how to beat Katie Taylor. They made the same mistakes as the first fight. They allowed Taylor to win at least 4 of the last 5 rounds to win the fight. Serrano needs to get rid of that dirt bird in her corner. He's a terrible boxing coach who doesn't know a plan B. Serrano walked forward the whole fight into Katie fast counters. Going for the ko for 10 rounds against Katie Taylor is a bad game plan. She has the best chin in female boxing. Any other boxing commission in charge of that fight tonight would have stopped it after round 5. Disgraceful to risk Serrano eye sight with that cut. Correct decision in my opinion . Was it 95-94 all 3 judges? Serrano will never beat Taylor with that lowlife in her corner.

Agreed the doctor allowing that to continue should not work a fight again

While it was a bad cut, it was initially away from the eye. This was a big title fight. To stop the fight so abruptly could have led to disastrous results. I'm glad the ref was in "wait and see" mode.

[Lefty0616]

I'm fine with the decision. This was a close fight. It was closer than the first fight. While Serrano comes forward, Taylor fights very well, while backing up; she scored a lot when Serrano came charging in. While Taylor used her head to get close to Serrano and avoid punches, I only saw one blatant head butt, but it aggravated the cut that had already opened on Serrano's head. I believe Serrano needs to learn how to effectively get close enough to Taylor to land precise punches. While I believe Serrano won the first fight, I could see how Taylor was awarded the second fight.

I didn't see classic, I saw gross incompetence on the part of the ringside doctor, for letting the fight go the full distance. He should have stopped it the 1st time he looked at that cut. Also, her cutman did a terrible job and her coach should have stopped the fight. Also the referee let Katie intentionally butt and rub Amanda's face with the top of her head all night b4 he finally took a point off. And Roy Jones said the cut/ butt wasn't intentional, which may have been true initially, but he failed to call any of what Katie was doing with her head after that throughout the entire fight, which was very intentional. She's a dirty little Irish woman

Great fight again, very close, but those counters were just too crisp, no problem with the decision at all. Just the points deduction that made it a question mark.

Not sure why people are suggesting this was a fix, Katie Taylor has maybe one more fight left in the sport, perfect time for her to lose and pass the torch. Literally no reason to fix it for her on away soil too.

But respect to both these. They are full or heart and desire and are, let's face it, exciting to watch.

Disgraceful decision. Everything that is wrong with boxing is evident in this fight. Serrano landed 117 more punches than Taylor and landed more punches per round except for one round. Moreover, Taylor was docked a point. Ban judges and use Compubox exclusively to judge. I am not aware of an alternative better than it. Too much leeway for subjectivity and corruption in judging. There are too many examples to mention here.
