Amanda Serrano, Katie Taylor in adversity in over 3-minute rounds for the third fight

Published

on

Up-to-date York – when they go on the third fight, Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor found something to fight.

The estimated competition changed on Wednesday in connection with the claim of Serrano that the undisputed 140-Funt master withdrew from the agreement on organizing a match of July 11 in 12 three minutes of rounds, just like the match of the men’s championship.

Both narrow victories of Taylor over Serrano appeared in the fighting with 10 rounds, which had two minutes, standard for women in boxing. But Serrano fought with other last duels in a longer format and said that Taylor agreed that he would do it back to Madison Square Garden, the place of their first fight.

“First of all, we shook it,” said Serrano during the first press conference, repeating what she said in a press release, announcing the fight. “She disagreed when we went to sign the contract.”

Taylor first recalled three minutes of rounds, when he was still in the ring after the victory in the second fight in November last year at Undercard of Jake Paul over Mike Tyson, saying that he believed that they have agreed to this for the next duel.

The Olympic gold medalist from Ireland in 2012 said on Wednesday that he was open to the idea, but would not allow anything to be a pretender’s choice.

“Regardless of this, I think that, as a rule, that the claimant should not dictate the conditions of the fight,” said Taylor. “I have 2-0 here and I am in the driver’s place and this is only true. At the end of the day, Amanda needs this fight much more than I do. I have a long history of great fights with massive names and a line of people in a queue to fight me for a payout day.”

Then Serrano interrupted to repeat that Taylor shook the contract, saying: “And if you say that you call arrows, you could call shots that day. You shouldn’t shake my hand.

“You know that if you have an extra minute, it won’t go your way,” said Serrano.

Serrano had Taylor in trouble in the fifth round of his first fight and immediately killed the bat. Perhaps she could finish her job and leave her judges with an additional minutes to continue the assault.

The seven -person master is so believing in three minutes round that she has left the version of WBC of its featherweight titles, because the organization would not allow them to question their women’s belt. Taylor would have to do the same for this duel.

“So if it’s her choice, it’s her choice,” said Serrano. “However, I think that cordial women should get the recognition and equality that men receive.”

But it is not clear who even made the decision. Tomas Rohan from the Taylor team said it was Netflix, who streamly sent the Tyson-Paul card and sends this stream, said that there is no reason to change in relation to the two-minute format and the action he assured. But Paul, who is a co -founder of the most valuable promotions representing Serrano, said that Netflix wanted three minutes of rounds and pointed to Taylor as the reason he stopped him.

Taylor does not believe that an additional minute of fighting would mean an additional minute of action.

“I think that the three -minute goal was to prove to people that you will get more knockout. How many knockout you got in your 12 three minutes. Zero,” she said towards Serrano. “After all, they are tedious fights and it was not a good advertisement of 12 three-minute fights for women. It was tedious, so I don’t think Netflix is ​​too disappointed that this fight will be a 10-minute fight.”

“My next fight will definitely be under a credible name, bigger than Jamaine Ortiz,” Keyshawn told Fight Hub TV.

Since stopping Jamaine Ortiz in the 12th round on January 31 at Madison Square Garden, Keyshawn has been openly calling for bigger fights. He has mentioned names from junior welterweights and welterweights in interviews and on social media, including Devin Haney, Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, Richardson Hitchins, Lewis Crocker and Lamont Roach Jr.

These challenges followed a performance that Keyshawn pointed to as evidence that he was among the top contenders. He dropped and stopped Ortiz in a fight where several previous opponents had gone the distance against a hard-wearing opponent. Now Keyshawn says the next step will take him to a welterweight title shot.

“I think I’m on the rise,” Keyshawn said when asked about the importance of his next fight, confirming plans to compete at 147 pounds and indicating the fight will be for the world championship.

Keyshawn did not name his opponent, but hinted that the fight would be a step up from his last fight. He also said that discussions about this fight have already taken place and that his return could come sooner than many expect.

A move up to welterweight would place Keyshawn in one of boxing’s most competitive divisions, with several established fighters already competing for title opportunities and championship fights receiving constant attention.

One possible opponent at 147 pounds is IBF champion Lewis Crocker, who Keyshawn mentioned when discussing future fights. Keyshawn has previously said he would be willing to head to the UK to challenge Crocker if a title opportunity arises. No agreement has been announced, but a fight has emerged as one potential path if the fighter wins the welterweight title outright.

For now, Keyshawn says preparations for his return are already underway as talks continue for a world title fight.

Canelo Alvarez addresses his retirement plan

Canelo Alvarez talked about how long he could stay in the sport before hanging up his gloves and opting for a decorated career.

The 35-year-old is already destined for a place in the Hall of Fame, as he became a four-division world champion, but he still wants to compete at the highest level.

Since his professional debut in 2005, the Mexican has made 68 appearances and has twice become the undisputed king of the 168-pound division, scoring notable victories over the likes of Callum Smith and Caleb Plant.

However, his most critical victory came in the middleweight division, where Alvarez made a very controversial decision by majority vote in a rematch with Gennady Golovkin in 2018.

More controversial was their first meeting a year earlier, when many felt Golovkin had done enough to claim a convincing victory and the Kazakhstan ended in a draw.

Still, Canelo received plenty of credit for his follow-up triumph before dethroning Sergei Kovalev to capture the WBO featherlight heavyweight title over a year later.

Alvarez’s second undisputed super middleweight reign came to an end last September when Terence Crawford moved up two weight classes and won a unanimous decision.

But Canelo explained anyway Froch About the fight that he can still compete for another two years, maybe even longer, depending on how often his opportunities come along.

“I don’t know. I think maybe two years. I don’t need it, [but] I still enjoy it. If I [fight] maybe once a year [I can go on] a little bit [longer].

“Once a year to rest my body, I think I can fight more [than two years]”

Although an official announcement has not yet been made, Canelo is scheduled to fight in Riyad, Saudi Arabia this September, and Turki Alalshikh has promised to fight for the world title.

Thanks to Inoue’s unanimous decision victory over Picasso in December, Nakatani defeated Sebastian Hernandez in the second fight of the night in a tougher-than-expected fight. Their victories set up a long-awaited clash between two of Japan’s best players.

Nakatani is ranked No. 6 pound-for-pound by ESPN and will look to become a four-division champion after winning world titles at bantamweight, junior bantamweight and flyweight.
