Taylor vs. Serrano

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Honestly I think Taylor would do better in a rematch than Amanda would. I feel like Serrano is what she is and that is all she ever will be. She's never quite going to be the boxer that Taylor is. Has more power but significantly worse speed and footwork. Though Amanda is admittedly really high-level. If Taylor can sure up her pocket-lands it's probably not a very close fight.

The 2 minute rounds are the reason I ended up switching my pick to Taylor. 
If those were 3s, Serrano would have ended the fight in the 5th,(or the 4th? Whatever round it was that Katie was wobbling).
I think Taylor deserved the won on points, she won the early and the late rounds. Serrano kinda gave it away tho. But I want to credit Taylor more for digging in rather than say Serrano threw it away.

Fight lived up to the Hype. I thought that it was a great fight 

Maybe.

Maybe not. I don't care what Mathew Bellend thinks about anything TBH.

Maybe Taylor just spam-clinches and it spends an extra minute on the ropes. Maybe in those clinches Serrano blows her load trying to land a finishing shot and looks worse than she did the following rounds.

I fell asleep but Serrano is doing well she is a warrior

Also I correct myself the greatest living Irish person was John Hume who died recently enough, Katie is maybe the best ever Irish sportsperson though, this fight seems very close though I scored it for Serrano first few

They should do a big rematch in Puerto Rico or Ireland

Brooklyn was basically Serrano's home court. I'd say they should run it back in Ireland.

I agree, I would love the fight in Ireland. Katie Taylor deserves to be given a night in Croke Park infront of 85,000.
Unfortunately there's issues with pro boxing in Ireland. Mainly because of the Kinahan scandal. A few years ago gunmen stormed a boxing weigh in and shot the place up. Kinahan was the target, someone died. That has basically stopped pro boxing in Ireland, there's been a few small shows. 
Also, if for some reason the fight gets the go ahead, Croke Park has a noise pollution thing that causes issues with any big event, concerts etc. The place cannot go above a certain noise level after a certain time of the evening. 

I reckon a stadium in the UK is more likely or even a return to MSG. Whatever happens, wherever it is, there will be a rematch, probably a trilogy!!! And I am 100% here for it! That fight was amazing! I just rewatched it, from the walkouts to the toe to toe finish it was incredible!!!

Honestly, huge respect to both ladies. 

I've just caught up with it and it was without doubt the best women's boxing match I've seen! I had Katie Taylor winning but only by a couple of rounds. I would definitely watch the rematch!

And speaking of the rematch, they should do it Saudi Arabia. The regime are trying to sports wash their human rights record by getting big fights like the Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. rematch so why not this highly anticipated rematch between two of the greatest women of all time? 

Oh, right.

**** the towelheads. Petrodollar terrorism-funding feudal theocratic filth.

Irish champion should defend in Ireland. Ireland needs the revenue. The Saudis neither do nor deserve it.

They should take it somewhere really random that never has big fights like Prague or Quito.

Yeah those gangster *******s really ruined pro boxing in Ireland... There never seems to be any events anymore. There use to be at least a few cards every year at the national basketball arena. At least the pros can get fights mostly in the UK, or other random places if they are willing to travel
