On the Watch “It’s All About Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano II”

Undisputed Junior Welterweight Challenge

The highly anticipated and rescheduled rematch unraveled last Friday night to a packed house at the AT & T Stadium when Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 Kos) and highly decorated Champion Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 30 Kos) picked up the “HEAT” right where they left off from their last encounter two years ago at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

This Co-Main Event should have been the original Netflix Main Event of the night by the way these two warriors rigorously fought toe-to toe from start to finish entertaining all who took the time to enjoy this great battle.

Both combatants came into this challenge with an extra sense of confidence and familiarity of one another but it was Serrano, coming up three Divisions and the smaller fighter, who actually had more pop at the weight. Serrano’s punches stunned Katie early and set the stage for the night.

A relentless Katie refused to backdown and stood her ground and exchanged leather going back and forth. However, a severe clash of heads opened up a cut over Serrano’s right eye that threatened the continuation of the bout but a persistent Serrano refused to bow out this way and insisted on going on with the fight.

The cut eventually opened up some more due to further clashes of heads by Taylor that looked deliberate at times but nevertheless did not deter Serrano from imposing her will. Both combatants threw a combined 1,263 punches between the two but it was Serrano who outpunched Taylor 324 to 217 and handed out the more telling damage.

After 10 very competitive rounds of nonstop action, the Judges at hand all scored it 95-94 in favor of Katie Taylor, once again giving us a controversial ending to another great bout.

With this win, Katie Taylor retained her Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Championship Titles but in my opinion, I feel that Amanda did enough to dethrone Taylor on the night due to her higher work rate and her stronger finish in the championship rounds.

Just my thoughts.

Undisputed Junior Welterweight Challenge

The highly anticipated rematch between Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 Kos) and Unified Featherweight IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Amanda Serrano (46-2-1, 30 Kos) has been officially announced to meet up once again but at a different weight Division than their previous encounter.

Amanda has agreed to move up three Divisions in order to get that get back and challenge Katie for all the Jewels that she’s holding as the Undisputed Champion. It’s a tougher task than expected for Amanda. The 140-Pound Division favors Katie a lot more than Amanda but this highly decorated Pound-for-Pound Champion in Amanda is aiming high at proving the naysayers wrong and that she can conquer these harsh challenges ahead.

Katie, who is fresh off capturing the Undisputed Junior Welterweight Titles from Chantelle Cameron, hasn’t slowed down since. Having already shared the ring with Amanda, I’m expecting Katie to come fully loaded and ready for an action-packed fight.

These two Champion combatants are two of the biggest names in the game today. They brought the “HEAT” to the ring 2 years ago and will attempt to overshadow their previous encounter by raising the bar once again inside that squared circle and bring women’s boxing to the far front for all to see.

Tune in on Netflix Saturday night July 20, 2024, from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This Co-Main Event might just steal the show on the night. Real Talk!
