    The first two Serrano/Taylor fights were bangers, as well Shields/Marshall.

    They were both uninspiring fights. I was just trying to provide some resistance to the reactionary anti-women's boxing narrative that seems to be so rife.

    Don't need to White Knight, I give credit when credit is due. The stand out women's matches are the outliers. This is the standard fare.

    Congratulations Katie on a great career.For a woman to be able to attract the 6th highest post war crowd is astonishing.She is a one off and a big loss to womens boxing and boxing in general.Go well in retirement GOAT

    Taylor arguably lost to Serrano twice and refused to give Cameron a rubber match (thanks to Eddie Hearn one way rematch clause like he gifted Joshua's career with).

    Only the Brits will miss her.

    Cameron actually turned the third fight down wanting more money.

    The roids has her permanently half way through male puberty. Better than the actual fully man beasts increasingly popular today in womens sports imo.

    There isn't an anti women boxing. What no one wants to see is utter mismatch. On top of that we are paying for. Undercard maybe but there are way to many women cards that don't sell but being forced down paying fight fans throat. If they were competitive people wouldn't complain.
