    Does Serrano deserve Trilogy with KT after getting beat twice? Maybe with an 80-20 split?

    With two big wins over Serrano, a trilogy fight isn't really necessary for KT. I guess Serrano doesn't deserve it, in the sense of traditional boxing-rankings. Only perhaps if it means she's the opponent who might still generate the biggest payday with KT. Sometimes it's about having the right dance partner. So if there is a trilogy, is an the 80-20 split about right for KT? She'd be giving Serrano yet another shot even though she beat her twice!

    I don't think Taylor should do a 3rd fight with Serrano. Taylor is declining pretty quickly, and looking worse each fight (Serrano declining but much slower). Baumgardner hinted at wanting the fight. I think they should do the Baumgardner fight in Croke Park and win or lose she should retire afterwards.

      80-20? Are you crazy? If that's the case, I guess it's OK if Serrano puts out 20 percent effort? Sounds ridiculous right?

        Baumgardner is a good matchup, I'd prefer that to a trilogy with Serrano tbh. Or Caroline Dubois.

          Serrano lost twice. She doesn't deserve much more than 20%, maybe 30% max?. Serrano brings nothing to the table now, no belts or ranking. It's basically a charity boxing match, KT giving her free money.

            At Croke Park I think it would have to be Serrano again although for the narrative arc it would have been better if Serrano got the tight call yesterday

              A shame Serrano needed so long to regain confidence after the first loss, because Katie maybe only has one more fight left.

              The trilogy is probably the only fight that makes $sense at this point.

              They are great for each other's legacy (maybe not health lol)

                Clearly you dont understand fight promotion, as demonstrated by your comments. These two are the reincarnation of Ward - Gatti, two fighters matched so closely that the outcome is always up in the air. Action packed and sure to put fans in the seats. Twenty percent is no incentive for Serrano to fight, no fight, no money is being made by either fighter. Taylor isnt going to make anywhere near the amount fighting anyone else.

                  I guess the money is good, so maybe, but otherwise why would Serrano sign up to get cheated out of victory again?
