taylor gets the benefit of the doubt in close fights it seems
What score you have it you slag?
Who the fornicate had it 97-93?
Giving AS only 3 rounds lolz
well,. on this forum our dudes a force and brillo had it 7-3 katie !

Don't like womens boxing , BUT I LOVE KATY TAYLOR ,, that was a real proper scrap has James said if you did'nt like that one well fook off , you won't like anything ,,, Serrana defo the bigger puncher but Katy boxed real well at the beginning and the end , letting Serano come back in the middle rnds ,,, I especeilly loved how katy , countered her with the left hook and mor4e paticular doubled the right hand up .

Great fight , i actually had it 97-93 Taylor but will admit if i watch it again Serrano may sway me on a couple rnds that were close , Great fight brought womens boxing forward a long way

I had it 96-94 Taylor. I thought it was a close fight but I thought Taylor landed a few more shots and in several rounds cleaner shots to Serrano’s bigger punches.

Credit to both fighters. Seeking out the best opponent for each other and leaving it all in the ring.

Just watched it, I had 96-94 Taylor, Serrano took the middle rounds but didn’t have the skills to properly make the most of her massive power advantage. Great fight anyway.

Taylor/Serrano was a cracker, fair play, never scored but it looked like it could've went either way

Also, I bet Beefy's man was going mad when she had to go get a load of new t shirts with Everlast and Sports Direct on at short notice.
For sure! Lots of MTK merchandise getting binned or given away
Might end up being worth a few quid

Haha, but I reckon I'm right, imagine if Al Capone was a boxing promoter and his fighters had the t shirts.

I did notice it..

At first I didn’t know who it was, then I recognised him.

No one was really pissed at the end of it.

They were all just happy weren’t they?

All belts with one fighter makes it tough. I’d like to see him get a huge payday against Eubank at 160lbs and I think he’d beat him straight forward…

Then he will be bang in line for a fight for all 4 belts!

Maybe he could chase the Kell Bruke fight and then 50% or the people in the boxing World who mispronounce peoples names will be put right. I’d imagine allegedly vs Carl Frock is unlikely to ever happen.

Stuff like that makes me laugh, I’m a big Liverpool fan and listening to scousers mangle up Italian or Portuguese names is always funny to me.

Enjoy watching Liam fight, methodical pressure with a great engine, always seems to be pretty comfortable the later a fight goes and does the fundamentals well, tough fighter.

I never really rooted for Smith when he was with Frank. I always preferred Callum of all the brothers, but I gotta say Liam is my fave now.
