Round-by-Round: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano | DAZN - April 30, 2022

[GreenLightning]

Who thought McCaskill was going to be a neutral commentator?? I didn't recognise her voice at first and was wondering who this woman was who seemed allergic to giving Taylor

When they said Jessica, I thought it was McCaskill too, but standing next to them was a young black woman. I assume her first name is Jessica. I thought that Claudia Trejos would be also doing the commentating, but she was sitting on a couch with two other guys watching the fight. The video was them talking and reacting to the fight on a television and then their reaction to the judges' scores. It's on DAZN's YouTube channel.

Oh so it wasn't McCaskill?? Comments were all saying it was her too so assumed

[Ruthless-RKO]

The co commentator the old WWE guy isn't he called josh

Isn’t it usually Todd Grisham?

There was another guy called Josh yes, but the DAZN one is Todd.

Todd Grisham that's it, I was thinking of Josh Matthews name the other WWF guy

Yeh that’s the one.

I'm wrong. I read an article from an Irish website stating that McCaskill was one of the commentators.

Claressa Shields said she thought Taylor won. In my opinion, the two judges who scored the fight for Taylor and anyone else who thinks Taylor deserved to win is biased. Serrano arguably should be undefeated. She also got robbed in Sweden against Frida Wallberg. Serrano is the real pound for pound number one.

[Ezzard]

Great stuff. Had Taylor winning the most rounds. Serrano won hers clearly though. Right result.

Just curious, which rounds did you have Taylor winning?

Why would Shields be bias for Taylor ??

Wouldn't it be great if you could create scorecards (more detailed ones) and compare them side by side with other people?

Oh, that's right, you can

For instance me and Skansta were scoring Valdez vs Stevenson but he gave up earlier than I did.

Looks like Skanky doesn't know how to use the margin slider though since he'e scoring the rounds for Stevenson but putting the round winning margin slider % in favour of Valdez

She definitely didn´t get robbed vs Frida Wallberg. I haven´t rewatched the bout but as I recall, Frida won a close, competitive bout. No robbery.

Why would Shields be bias for Taylor ??

She is biased because she wants to be considered the pound for pound best female boxer. Since Taylor will never leave the lightweight division, Shields is never going to fight Taylor. Therefore, Shields can say that Taylor deserved the win against Serrano. However, Serrano has fought and been a world champion in multiple weight classes. Serrano is more likely to move up in weight to fight Shields than Taylor. Shields would have to come down in weight and maybe they could fight at welterweight (147), but it's not outside the realm of possibility. Serrano has fought at super lightweight (140) once.

I don't think Shields wants to fight Serrano in order to maintain her undefeated record and to continue claiming that she is the greatest female boxer of all time which she does claim. Not only of this current time, but for all time. Shields has even said that she is the best boxer of all time except for Muhammad Ali. Forget about Sugar Ray Robinson or Roberto Duran. Shields is the best boxer ever out of all the male and female boxers in boxing history except for Ali. I think Shields will lose to Savannah Marshall, but for now, Shields does not want to have any boxer be considered No. 1 that she could possibly fight in the future.

Fight Highlights

[NateJR]

Fight was razor close. Alot of close rounds, alot of heavy exchanges. It was a hell of a fight and arguably fight of the year. I didn't score it, but upon watching the fight, it was hard to separate the two in a good majority of the rounds. Anyone calling robbery sound like idiots and disappointing that a fight that close and that entertaing even has any controversy surrounding it. Them 2 women put their lives on the line and fought a fantastic fight. I don't even following women's boxing, buy that fight was fantastic.

[willardx]

I had kt up by a point after giving as a 10 8 for 5th. The fight justified the hype. Every fight on the card was a cracker. Made the FW show last week look shit.

A lot of people are calling it a robbery. It seems the only people who think Taylor won are her fans from Ireland, Irish websites, and her promoter. I respect Taylor's courage and ability, but it was one-sided in my opinion until the last two rounds.

I scored the first 6 rounds 10-9 for Serrano. I scored the 7th round 10-9 for Wallberg. I scored rounds 8 and 9 for Serrano 10-9. I scored round 10 even 10-10. Serrano 99-92.

I see it pretty split on how it was called by people. I don't know where you're getting alot of people when it's damn near split on who people thought won. Proves the point that it was a razor close fight. The outcome wasn't even controversial, much less a robbery. Get outta here with that robbery horse shyt.

There were not a lot of close rounds. Serrano was landing the harder and cleaner shots. I scored it eight out of ten rounds for Serrano. At worst, it was seven out of ten rounds for Serrano. The fifth round was arguably a 10-8 round for Serrano, but I scored it 10-9. Serrano had the better ring generalship, effective aggression, and defense. She also landed more overall punches and power punches than Taylor.
This video expresses how thousands of people feel about the fight:

[RScarf1]

I read a comment on YouTube of someone who was at Madison Square Garden and saw the Irish people in the audience in shock that Taylor won. Taylor and Canelo Alvarez are both fake pound for pound number ones. Boxing is not going to let their cash cows lose, even to the No. 2 pound for pound boxers Serrano and Golovkin. If I was Serrano, I would not agree to a rematch unless Taylor agreed to 12 x 3 minute rounds, especially when the fight is going to be in Ireland.

[Ruthless-RKO]

To be fair, I’ve had no issues with any Canelo decision or win since the GGG fights.

Ok great. We'll see what happens against Bivol.

So basically "Anyone who disagrees with me is biased! No one is allowed to have a sincere opinion unless I like it."

Yeah that's an objective measurement! "Someone I don't know saw other people who they don't know, look surprised" Sounds legit. This despite the fact that we can hear the fans at the stadium are cheering about 50/50 at the beginning of the fight & at the end they are basically all cheering for Taylor. You are one sour fellow. You don't think Taylor or Canelo deserve #1? Sounds like you don't like the Irish. Lol.
