Not even sure what the point is of this Katie broad fighting, she's gonna get a gift decision anyway just like in every other fight she's had.

Thanks to Hearn for sharing that. Shows class admitting to why that was a mistake for him to say. Didn't need to. For me, along time now when it comes to boxing, It's all equal. From weight classes to gender. Many a card I left saying the women had the best fight on it. For the rest of life though, there's a big frikin difference.

Won’t matter who she fights, the judges will get their traditional envelopes from Hearns when it’s over!

Was disappointed Serrano wanted none cuz I felt she would’ve stopped Taylor but now my hopes rest on Taylor
Moving up to 147 for the winner of McCaskill-Braekhus rematch!

I was at Madison Square Garden when Taylor fought Persoon they fought a hell of a fight. I had Persoon winning that fight, I didn't see the rematch but even Boxingscene reported it was controversial. Taylor does have enormous heart though, but I do think Amanda Serrano would beat her if they ever fought. Taylor's promoter changing the fight venue to London, then asking Serrano to take a considerable pay cut was disrespectful. I'm glad Serrano turned down the fight under those conditions. That said I want to see that fight, it would probably be the most significant win for either of them. Like I said I do believe that Serrano would win, and possibly by knockout.

I can seriously see a scenario in the near future where katie taylor could be looking up at the lights after being knocked out and somehow still get the nod. It may not be her fault but it doesn't negate the fact that she's one of the most fraudulent champions in recent memory.

U got your facts wrong, taylor took the paycut so serrano could get her full pay!! & she still turned it down!! covid forced the fight move too, a venue with no crowd is a venue with no crowd, no excuses!!

You know what we really don't know what happened, only what we've read. What we do know is what we've seen so far as both of their in the ring skill sets are. My observation, and analysis is that Serrano is the overall better boxer, and puncher. Taylor has a ton of heart, and has had to show it because she takes to many punches, and she doesn't have the power to keep her opponents off her. Consequently she's had to fight battles of attrition with them, those battles have a way of catching up to you. Her boxing skills also aren't good enough to where she can give her opponents a lesson on how to, (hit and not be hit). Which leaves her with only one option in the fight game, and that's to slug it out. Serrano can box, and punch do both with considerable supremacy. My opinion is that if, and when they meet Serrano will win, and do so possibly by TKO, if not by outright clean KO. I thought Persoon beat Taylor in their first incredibly exciting fight that I watched live in MSG. I read that the second fight was a disputed decision again for Taylor. That's all I've got on this right now, with all due respect we'll see exactly what actually happens if they do face each other.
