    She beat Serrano with headbutts. She cheated.

    I like Taylor but there is no doubt she has been a repeated beneficiary of dodgy officiating; her fights against Persoon (I and II), Serrano (I and II) and Cameron II could/should have gone the other way on the scorecards. In light of this it's hardly unexpected that some people are cold on her.

    Yep but Andre Ward beat Kessler with headbutts and Kovalev with low blows but is still regarded as a all time great.

    Taylor just butted and smothered Serrano on the inside.

    Well said sir. I believe most of the guys saying she's dirty are mimicking what they hear. Even RJ Jr said he didn't agree w/ the butt call. He has a little more credibility than us bums on the board.

    How? Serrano is the one chasing and rushing in head first. Is Taylor supposed to just leave her chin out to take an uppercut?

    Credibilty? Why would Jones be able to spot a deliberate butt bette than anyone else? You could see her leading with her head and rubbing her crappy hairstyle into Serrano`s cut, I`m not blind.

    You can see Taylor leading with her head, you`re biased.

    If you dont know why Roy has more credibility than you Mark,then there is really no point in discussing this any further

    How can Taylor "lead" with her head when she's going backwards most of the fight?

    You sound like you didn`t see the fight or weren`t watching properly, she constantly stopped and smothered Serrano diving in with her head down, you don`t know how to watch fights.

    At this point you`re just trying to win an arguement, go back and watch that fight, no boxer has more credibilty in telling me whether a fighter is shoving their head into someone`s face, it was blatant and if Serrano did it you`d be singing a different tune.
