Fight Cecelia First
She should fight Braekhus first because she's gonna get absolutely smashed by Serrano and Persoon. Everyone knows she lost the Persoon fight.

By comparison, Serrano is 8-1 against champions in 40 fights.
Serrano wouldn't be among the top 5 Braekhus opponents and neither would Taylor.
Braekhus is also much bigger. She has the height, reach, weight, and strength advantages over Taylor or Serrano. She has the experience advantage. She has the speed advantage, the technique advantage. The only disadvantage she has is age, but she's still fighting better opponents than Serrano is and winning more easily.
Braekhus' resume absolutely dwarfs anybody else's in women's boxing right now.
Holly Holm ran away from the 147 pound weight class the first time she was ordered to fight Braekhus an she ran away from the entire sport of boxing the second time, even though Braekhus offered her a career high purse for an undisputed title fight in the USA.

if she squeezes past Serrano ( 50/50) I'm not sure there's much left in the tank , like you the only thing that beat breakhaus is age and then she's on vapours against persoon .. guess what I'm saying is she's on the slide and any of these fights now will drag more out of her ..Comment

Old grandma Braekhus is ripe for the picking.
Whoever wins out of Serrano and Taylor (I'm picking Serrano) will handle her and get the torch passed to them.Comment

gotta love her ambition . Thats murders row as far as women's boxing is concerned. Imo that's 3 L'S for Taylor. Although I could see her deserving a close decision or getting a draw the second time around vs persoonComment

You're delusional.
The only fighter with a chance against Braekhus is Shields, and that's only because of her size and age advantages.Comment
