    When you compare this to last weekend's Heavyweight fight. The contrast in quality is dire. Women's boxing is shockingly horrid, and the unwarranted hype around it is embarrassing.

    Congrats to Katie on an amazing career and for going out on top! Not many boxing legends can say that.

    Pili lost but I think "totally outclassed" is a stretch.

    Well, this fight was, certainly. Some women's fights are much better than this, although I will always prefer the men's game

    When you compare Shakur v De Los Santos to this fight, Men's boxing is shockingly horrid.

    T'is true. But Katie was the first to be distinguishable from an enraged soccer mom, which has to get some props.

    In fairness to Taylor she’s given us some class fights imo

    Hard to begrudge her an easy send off at 40

    None. Just like the number of top tier wins she has.

    That was a masterclass compared to this debacle.

    I'll be real. I barely watched any of that. Probably about 5 mins in total
