Taylor fought for the right fight at the right time with Serrano
Published
11 months agoon
Up-to-date York – Katie Taylor was advised by her trainer and supervisor, the first twice fought with Amanda Serrano so that they do not hinder fights than necessary.
She didn’t listen, and women’s boxing was better because of that. If she took advantage of the advice of coach Ross Enamait and promoter Eddie Hearn and used continuous movement, speedy check and right hands in a more measured, but not so thrilling style, it is very unlikely that it is the second and third fight. More importantly, women’s boxing may not have a stage he had at Netflix before millions of viewers.
Taylor fought Serrano’s fight for the first 20 rounds of his trilogy and gave fans a few extremely exciting-and incredibly close to-battles between the two best women for women in a generation. In the third fight, we learned that Taylor could make it much easier from the very beginning if she arranged this plan of the game, that her team begged her when her first fight was planned.
On Friday, she fought as her team wanted, and won the final majority of decisions to close the book about their trilogy.
“I said to Katie Taylor in the cloakroom:” Can we just keep this plain and plain? Exploit your skills and apply our speed. Can we spend a nice night tonight? “She listened for the first time – said Hearn after the fight.
Can you imagine where women’s boxing would be if she took advantage of this advice in the first fight? Although it may be hyperbolic that there is no way that the boxing card of all women is a streaming in Netflix in the sold -out Madison Square Garden, it is certainly true that the first two meetings between Taylor and Serrano have found the featherlight of the headlights on women’s boxing, like never before. The first fight in April 2022, which Taylor won with a divided decision, proved that women can provide as much emotions as men and card headers. Rematch in November last year went even more in the next fight with the versatile action, which became the most -observed sporting event of women in US history, with an average of 74 million viewers around the world at Netflix as a factor for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.
These two meetings prepared the ground for a very anticipated trilogy and a card loaded in the world champions, because 17 titles were available among the five fights for the title. Women’s boxing never had the attention of Taylor-Serrano, and several women on this card will have the opportunity to become home names because of this epic trilogy.
Although there will be those who complain that Taylor-Serrano 3 did not fulfill the noise, Taylor has more than deserved to fight the fight and slammed the door for her competition.
Amanda Serrano fought the wrong fight in the wrong time
After two thrilling and extremely close meetings with Taylor “Real Deal” she decided to try to hurt instead of brawl. This approach caused less than wiping the meeting and led to a more decisive loss for Taylor. More importantly, he put an end to a conversation about who a better warrior is. This is definitely Taylor, which rolled the 3-0 series.
“We tried something different,” said Serrano after losses. “It was about the smarter action, not harder. I tried to keep the distance and I tried not to go there and fight it, because apparently it did not work in the first two fights. We just tried to stick to long blows, one two, and I think that it was simply not enough.”
This was definitely not enough and you can discuss that her more aggressive approach to Taylor’s swarm with blows works better in the first two fights and was the reason why fans strongly debated, who actually won in 2022 and 2023, despite the fact that Taylor was officially 2-0. The Serrano strategy for the first two fights was also the reason why women’s boxing had spotlights. These epic meetings were full of fantastic action, and the first fight won the women’s distinction in the fight for it ESPN.
Serrano entered the Friday fight with something that could be proved, and her fans, who believed that she should have won one of the first two fights, had great hopes that she would finally raise her hand. Instead, her performance fell flat.
This performance against Taylor does not erase the good will he earned at their first two meetings. But she certainly locked her in historical books for Taylor.
The unlikely name increased for the occasion
With attention to the unique All-Women combat card, everyone had the opportunity to broadcast themselves. While Alycia Baumgardner, Chantelle Cameron, Ellie Scotney and others won, one warrior who was fully took this opportunity.
Shadasia Green was the second woman who signed the most valuable promotions of Jak Paul’s hopes for building her from scratch. In 2023, she achieved a high boost in speed in her professional career in 2023, when she abandoned the decision on the Franchon-Dezur crew in her first attempt in the main title of the world. Green also did not impress Watpool Melinda on Undercard Paul-Tyson, and there were concerns about whether it is worth investing.
Green was paired with the former unquestioned champion of Savannah Marshall on the main Taylor-Serrano 3. Marshall, who lost only a competitive decision for Claress Shields in 2022, was a weighty favorite to win. It looked as if Marshall had fled with the fight in the first few rounds, especially after deducting Green in the fourth round for excessive maintenance. Instead, the “Sweet Terminator” caught up under her and began to engage in the entertainment battle, which brought her a strenuous parting.
While victory was Green’s greatest career, she also established a potential hit with Shields. Paul and Nakisa Bidarian MVP said that they were more than willing to work with Shields, warrior No. 1 pound ESPN to fight Green.
Although this may not happen, Shields desperately needed a recent rival to fight. Although Green is not as decorated as shields, she could match it to the trash ward and has enough power to believe that she could remove the shields.
The fair makes too much sense to do business with Paul. There is money that you can earn, and Green has erected in one of the biggest fights that can be made in women’s boxing.

Mike Tyson tells Oleksandr Usyk to face one fighter next: ‘We’re waiting for you’

Mike Tyson urged Oleksandr Usyk to face one of his closest rivals instead of an immediate rematch with Rico Verhoeven.
The Ukrainian is clearly considering his options after his last outing, which ended with: a somewhat controversial 11th round victory over Verhoeven.
Surprisingly, Usyk found himself in a competitive battle with the former kickboxer, whose only previous professional boxing match allowed him to stop the journeyman in the second round of their 2014 meeting.
As such, Verhoeven was considered the clear underdog, but he nonetheless put in a commendable performance last month, staying in contention with the heavyweight champion for 10 completed rounds.
Then the Dutchman suffered a knockdown, and referee Mark Lyson waved him off, and his intervention took place after the signal.
Despite both pairs calling for an immediate rematch, Usyk was ordered to defend his WBC title against mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel.
As the WBC “interim” champion, Kabayel has been waiting for his chance to win the full title since stopping Zhilei Zhang with a sixth-round body attack in February 2025.
And although the 33-year-old has shown considerable patience during this time, he is clearly feeling increasingly frustrated with the situation, so much so that he posted social media clip “Iron Mike” demanding that Usyk defend the WBC, IBF and WBA titles against him.
“Usyk, we’re waiting for you, brother. We need you, Usyk. We need this money, baby. Come get it.”
Usyk must now decide whether to face Kabayel, who has established himself as the most deserving contender, or to relinquish the WBC belt and pursue a rematch with Verhoeven.
Alternatively, he can simply hang up the gloves and, at the age of 39, embark on a brilliant career.

Dana White had to sell Fury vs. Joshua to random US players

Fury and Joshua remain linked to the highly anticipated all-British heavyweight clash, with recent discussions focusing not only on whether the fight will eventually happen, but also on who will oversee its promotion. Although Fury has spent much of his career working with Frank Warren and Joshua was Matchroom Boxing’s banner star under Eddie Hearn, Sauerland sees value in bringing a different voice.
Addressing growing speculation about White’s possible role, Sauerland explained why he thinks the UFC president could support expand the event’s reach beyond the UK.
“If Turki wants Dana to run him, it makes total sense because he has American eyes,” Sauerland told Seconds Out.
“There will be a strategic reason if they want to bring in Dana White. If they are going to bring in Dana White, it will have something to do, I assume, with America, where this fight means very little.
“It’s a huge fight in the UK at the moment. I mean, huge doesn’t really do it justice. Here it’s gigantic, but in America people don’t queue to watch this fight.”
Sauerland also pointed to White’s success in building the UFC as a dominant force in the U.S. combat sports market.
“Bringing in Dana brings a UFC element to the fight,” Sauerland said. “Let’s face it, MMA in America has been the dominant combat sport in America for the last 15, 20 years.
“Boxing, if boxing works in America, is still by far the biggest sport. So I understand from a business standpoint why they would do it.”
White is becoming an increasingly influential figure in boxing thanks to his collaboration with Turki Alalshikh and the launch of Zuffa Boxing. While no agreement has been announced for Fury and Joshua to finally meet in the ring, Sauerland’s comments underscore why White’s involvement may go beyond promotional news.
The heavyweight competition has long been one of boxing’s biggest unrealized events. While the contest would likely sell out a stadium in the UK regardless of who promoted it, Sauerland believes Dana White’s ability to reach grassroots combat sports fans in the United States could make the Joshua vs. Fury fight a truly global spectacle.

Tim Bradley names the heavyweight who can beat Oleksandr Usyk: ‘This could be his time’

Tim Bradley listed probably the biggest challenge for Oleksandr Usyk, who some say should hang up his gloves after the clash with Rico Verhoeven.
Last month, the Ukrainian endured a tougher-than-expected test against Verhoeven, which ended with a controversial suspension following an 11th-round knockout.
Until then Usyk was losing on one of the judges’ scorecards However, he managed to inspire the intervention of referee Mark Lyson, who waved at Verhoeven after the bell.
Indeed, it was controversial while on duty, however, the real story is that Verhoeven, a former kickboxer, was able to last 11 rounds with the heavyweight king.
Perhaps it was because Usyk underestimated his opponent, or perhaps his performance would be better explained by a text message he received from his daughter, who contacted him from a bomb shelter in Ukraine before the fight.
Either way, the 39-year-old would need to significantly improve his performance if he faces WBC “interim” champion Agit Kabayel in his next fight.
I keep talking his YouTube channelBradley said Kabayel, who has previously stopped fighters such as Zhilei Zhang and Frank Sanchez, posed a real threat to Usyk’s dominance as WBC, IBF and WBA world champion.
“You have a guy like Kabayel who has been waiting for a while. This might be the right time for him [to defeat Usyk].
“Usyk’s aged manager [Alex Krassyuk] he said, “You must go ahead and retire, because if you don’t retire, you will be defeated.”
“[Krassyuk] I didn’t like what he saw against Rico, but I have hope for him in this fight [with Kabayel] what’s happening next. Fighting Kabayel will be tough for him.
“This guy can punch, he can punch the body very well, he can move and box, he can get forward, he can counter-punch – he can do a little bit of everything.”
Having been ordered to defend his WBC title against Kabayel, Usyk must now decide whether to face the undefeated challenger or vacate the belt and pursue alternative options.
