I think she’s always spoken like that. It’s a thick Irish, monotone brogue that I have to pay close attention to understand.
All in all, I totally appreciate the class they’ve shown in the lead up to all three fights. Nothing but class although…in that last press conference I like how Amanda called Katie out for backing out of the handshake agreement in the second post fight interview where Katie said she would be willing to fight twelve 3 minute rounds.
When I watched that live, I knew Katie was just saying that in the “feel good” post fight euphoria and that she would strictly ask to just keep a third potential fight with women’s rules. Katie DOES NOT have the gas tank for that kind of war of attrition.
Agreeing to that would be like a sprinter
agreeing to compete against a marathoner in a marathon and expecting to beat him.
Had they made the fight 12 3’s the odds would be sharply skewed towards Amanda.TintaBoricua likes this.

I’d have to watch Persoon/Taylor 1 to see how close it was. My guess is that Taylor was busier and Persoon had Taylor on shaky legs on a couple occasions down the stretch and since Persoon finished stronger, a lot would call “robbery”.
Maybe similar to Hopkins/Taylor 1…where Taylor was absolutely looking the goods in the first half. Then the tires deflated in rounds 7 and 8, and then rounds 9 and on his tires exploded and Hopkins just tore him apart. It was an amazing rally, but he was too far down the hole to do anything by then.TintaBoricua likes this.

That’s not always the case, but you’re right. It’s a subconscious over correction, but it doesn’t always happen.
Think Pacquiao-Marquez, the judges always favored Pacquiao no matter how clean Marquez’s counter punches were.TintaBoricua likes this.

Williams never corrected that throughout his career. You could shut your eyes and swing an overhand left blindly and it would be 95% sure to hit.BlackRobb likes this.

I gotta’ catch it then. I saw Lara-Williams about eight months ago and Williams was busy but an absolute sucker for the overhand left by a southpaw. Same overhand left that Quintana tagged him with all night long in the first fight, and the same one Martinez caught him with repeatedly in the first fight.

I respected Paul because he ducked no one in three weight classes, but he got an absolute gift that night. I had if 9-3 Lara.Last edited by BlackRobb; 07-04-2025, 11:55 PM.

Taylor won both fights 100-90. Those scoring headbutts were very damaging and plentiful. Those were the difference. Massive power shots like that always decide close rounds. Serrano had no answer to the powerful headbutts from Taylor, and struggled to defend against them. Nash out - His Majesty
