Katie Taylor v. Amanda Serrano

angeleyes

Fight will be shown on DAZN. Just reading articles on this fight, it seems that Katie Taylor is the slight underdog for this bout, coming in at EVENS with the bookies - which surprises me.

It looks like it is going to be a long night as the main card is scheduled for 12.30 am.

Any predictions for this bout? I think Katie can take it but something tells me it could be a draw.

I'd prefer a McGregor event in the CCJ than in CP.

Never watched anything quite like that last night. What a fight, what a girl!

No thanks. Every scumbag in the country gathered together in croke park. I think I would book a flight out of the country if that was happening.

Anyone able to say what the odds were on Katie to win on Betfair during round 5?

Highest I saw her at was 9.6 at one stage

Bet365 had Katie 9/2 Serrano 1/7 draw no bet end of 5.

and fight outcome Katie 8/1

I'd say many expected Amanda to close the show round 6, but she seemed to take the foot off the pedal. She may well have been tired from her exertions in round 5. Kate showed her mettle in weathering the storm and storming back

I’d like Katie to do whatever she wants

Just watched it back there. I thought the American commentators were very biased for Serrano.

I had Taylor the clear winner taking 3 of the first 4 then sweeping the final 4. Id give Serrano a 10-8 in the 5th though so 96-93 for me.

I thin Taylor was just fitter for this fight than her previous few and showed great stamina and heart. Like a lot of posters here, I do hope she retires now and goes out on top with her legacy and marbles in tact.

Good for you!

nigeldaniel

Ye Gods but the number of anti-Taylor posters in the first few pages here is something else. I always had faith in her even if others did not.

Well done Katie.

Go back to sleep. It's still early on a Sunday morning of a Bank Holiday Weekend. 😉

That’s absolutely crazy to think anyone was anti Katie I’ve never ever wanted her to win as much but I was also aware that serrano would cause issues

Bellew had Katie 3-0 after 3 and I had her 4-0 after 4

eagle eye

It was one of the greatest fights I've ever watched, all action from start to finish. I think I heard Serrano's manager compare it to Mickey Ward fights and I'd have to agree.

Katie showed so much heart to battle through the adversary in round 5 and come back strong.

Serrano is a great fighter and it was one of those with many very close rounds where the champion gets the decision.

I want to see them go at it again, can't see it being anything but another awesome fight.

These two girls have raised the profile of women's boxing throughout their careers and then exploded last night to put it at the same level as the men. This will lead to more women taking up the sport and the standard rising.

Yes I saw your scoring catching up, we had it very similar. I though Serrano nicked the 3rd. My card was actually identical to Guido Cavallieri round for round.

bertiebomber

This is the one to retire on she has built up boxing for women & now she should coach young women. She would be epic as she has been epic but stop now before any injuries & bathe in the glory of bringing something from nothing to madison sq garden

Serrano's corner after round 8

"What round is this?"

"Round 9"

"6 more minutes" 🙈

walshb

Just on the rds. Did anyone else feel that they went by so quickly? I think it was because it was so good and tense; time flies feel off them

normanoffside

Those are the official cards.

The only difference between the judge who scored it for Serrano was that he gave Amanda 3 of the first 4 rounds whereas the others Gave 3 of those to Katie.

yeah dont think those round could be given to serrano tbh, great fight but correct decision in the end.

reclose

It would be great to see her sell out croke park.

I think martins comments about pro boxing were about MTK more so than a reputable company like matchroom.

it doesn’t really matter if she loses her last fight or two if it’s at a high level. Pretty much every top boxer loses their last few fights and it doesn’t effect their legacy or reputation. They are remembered for when they were at their best.

eagle eye

I gave Katie 1 and 2, Serrano 3. 4 and 5, Katie 6, Serrano 7, Katie 8, 9 and 10.

The first four were all very close and I couldn't disagree with anybody going either way on them.
