Comments Thread For: Katie Taylor open to trilogy bouts with Amanda Serrano and Chantelle Cameron

[turnedup]

Kind of hard to fight your fight when you’ve been butted in the second round
If not mistaken that eye was closing by the fifth

That’s on Amanda and her coach fam. Amanda had a better time with Taylor but chose to fight on the inside to out muscle Katie, it wasn’t gonna win her the fight. Amanda has the faster hands why fight on the inside when you can two piece your way to a victory. It’s the same way that cotto got his azz taxed by Margarito (wraps or no wraps) you don’t fight on the inside against people who have that as their best weapon. Listen to Maldonado in her corner, dude didn’t give her shhh for guidance.

People emotionally wanted Serrano to win. I had bets on her both times but she relied too much on landing glancing shots and ate a whole bunch of combos. I lost my bets and didn’t feel any controversy, even with the head clash. Not a a Taylor fan but respect her champion pedigree but Serrano lost that first fight and went for a ko in the second and had she fought smarter the second fight would’ve won it but she went in there for a stoppage and got pieced up the second half of the fight.

Why would people be emotionally wanting Serrano to win?
I agree that it was way too much of amanda following katie around and taking quivk punches but those little flurrys were not enough for Amanda's overall work rate.

The fact she was deducted a point and still won a comfortable decision is the definition of robbery.
In a 10 round fight that means if not for the deduction,they gave Taylor 7 out of 10 rnds

Amanda’s a real warrior. That second clash over the cut made me wince at home. I thought for sure the fight would be stopped, but she kept right on going. Both women really brought it, no matter what one’s opinions on the headbutts were.

Hard to fight with one eye

Imo , it was a robbery

Amanda won in the eyes of many a deduction should have led to a loss max without the point it could be argued a tie yet Amanda won 2 fights in most the publica eyes she's seen as a champ or bigger fan base after such showings

I thought Serrano lost the first fight and should have won the second.

Katie Taylor sounds like she’s slurring her words a bit these days, although maybe it’s the accent. She might want to call it a career before that gets any worse.

Nothing against Katie Taylor but if she hasn’t genetsyed enough interest and the like for Hearn to book Croke park by now it will never happen , also she is going on way to long , takes to many shots due to her style and sadly will end up punchy , hope the dormant signs are not there but fear they are .

Serrano won that second fight and it was quite obvious. Taylor came back into the fight down the stretch, but coming back into it doesn't win you the fight.

It wasn't a close, tricky fight to score, Serrano was a mile ahead until the last couple if rounds and Taylor salvaged some pride late, that's what I saw, there was no question Serrano won in my mind.

Just too many controversial scores in Taylors career, Person 1, Serrano 1 and 2, Cameron 2.

I credit Taylor for having a big heart, but she's not the special fighter they make out, every fight she's in that I've seen, she's going life and death with the opponent, looking bedraggled, bruised up and getting dodgy scores while the commentary try to act like she's a female Mayweather. She could EASILY have 5 losses on her record.

I don't like being gaslit.

[Nightfall]

She definitely needs to rematch Serrano then retire
