Taylor-Serrano 3 To Feature All Female Undercard

By: Sean Crose

After two classic battles, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are once again fighting on July 11 in Madison Square Garden. This fight is not only a massive deal because it contains the two best boxers of women on earth. It will also be broadcast live in Netflix, which is nothing but battle fans, as well as for sport that requires huge fights that do not cost viewers to watch live. Now there is a message that the whole card will officially consist of women’s fights. If this is not the first, for the first time such a card was presented at such a huge stage as this.

“The card contains an unprecedented level of global talent, including three of the four and five first ten,” said the promoter Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian via ESPN. “It’s like having Canelo, Gervont, Crawford, Inoue and Usyk on the same card – well, we have it for women and it will be amazing. With five worldwide fights – three united and two unquestionable – Friday, July 11 will be not only a decisive night for MVP as women’s leader, but a pivotal moment for sport.”

Give Paweł’s bold – he knows how to organize an event. And July 11 will not be an exception. Expect Madison Square Garden only because of the fact that Taylor and Serrano are wonderful arc rivals (their previous fights were so good that they are considered great by every standard, man or woman). Loading Undercard certainly does not intend to weaken the event’s dismissal. In fact, well -known warriors will be leading to the main event.

For example, Alycia Baumgardner will take over the invincible Jennifer Miranda. Similarly, Savannah Marshall he will have to face Shadasia GreeN. Like Taylor-Serrano, Baumgardner and Marshall, the fights will include the unquestioned word titles. It cannot be denied that it will be a huge night of boxing. And if any of the fights is as invigorating as the first two Taylor-Serrano matches, it will also be an unforgettable box of boxing. This is undoubtedly a golden age for women in boxing. One can only hope that another breed of women of fighters meets with the standard set Taylor, Serrano and others. We should enjoy what we have when we have it.

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.

Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight

"Malik Scott Predicts Knockout Victory for Jai Opetaia in Upcoming Fight"

Deontay Wilder’s former head coach Malik Scott has delivered a knockout prediction for the American’s upcoming showdown with Jai Opetaia.

The pair will square off at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on December 11, with Opetaia making his heavyweight debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

Despite him being the naturally smaller man, many are favouring the Australian – a former two-time world cruiserweight champion – to defeat his 10-years-older opponent.

It is, after all, generally accepted that Wilder has declined significantly since his trilogy bout with Furywho survived two knockdowns and scored an 11th-round knockout in their 2021 encounter.

Back then, Wilder had just joined forces with Scott, his former opponent, and the pair maintained their fighter-trainer relationship through subsequent defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

With Wilder now operating under different coaches, though, Scott has shared a balanced view of the Opetaia fight with Seconds Out.

“The fight’s got dynamite written all over it. Jai Opetaia is very dangerous, but he’s a smaller man that’s been hurt by smaller men than Deontay, slower men than Deontay.

“I’ve never seen Opetaia get hit by nobody like Deontay; I’ve seen Deontay get hit by bigger punchers than Opetaia. [But] one thing we can expect in this fight is a knockout.

“The name of the fight is ‘bad intentions’ – at least that’s what I’m calling it, because that’s what they share in common. What they share in common is mentality – they both are trying to hurt you.”

While he stopped short of predicting a winner, it is perhaps telling that Scott, despite his relationship with Wilder, has not explicitly favoured him to win by knockout.
