    It was clear as day that Taylor was leading with her head whenever they started fighting on the inside going toe to toe, and alot of it looked deliberate to me. I get that this is boxing, **** like this happens especially when a southpaw and orthodox fighter are in the ring together. But cmon this isn't the first time Taylor has been seen coming in with the head. If fighters like Holyfield, Ward and Bradley can be ridiculed for headbutting then Taylor can too.

    I think it’s more a bad habit she gets away with mostly… because she’s a woman..

    Any time she lets her hands go she almost falls forward, a man at the top level would get clipped and hurt doing it… coupled with them being women, and Serrano being surprisingly ineffective punching on the inside, (lots of slapping) it was bound to happen.

    And out come the conspiracy theories. She only landed the harder punches, more punches, and fought her own fight.

    Katie Taylor is the Canelo of female boxing. Always gets the nod in close fights.

    It's nothing to do with conspiracy theories my guy compubox is not accurate and its been proven to be considerably wrong with the AI scoring. And I think anyone with common sense would realize 73 punches landed in 2 minutes is not realistic lets be real here.

    Compubox is just two guys pushing a button on who they think is landing punches.

    I have nothing against Katie Taylor she puts on good fights.

    But this was kind of a big deal for Boxing: First time live on Netflix. Then it’s important they got the decision right. They really dropped the ball there.

    I just can't help but despise fighters who continue to get gifted decisions. Happens again and again with Taylor. Also, Serrano was severely cut, It would have been stopped on a different card. She gets to fight dirty and get a gifted decision.

    GWOAT is Shields, no contest.

    Tbh accuracy matters. Serrano just wasn't really accurate or effective enough in the majority of the rounds.

    As for Taylor, she landed one deliberate looking headbutt. The rest appeared accidental imo, with Serrano basically marching head first into them. A point was rightfully deducted but Serrano made no attempt or apparently couldn't mitigate the situation.

    Scoring seemed fair to me, the sore loser trainer on the mic was just sad tbh and should have been thrown out.

    Yeah but that doesn't win fights alone, and Serrano was hurt plenty herself.

    It was a close fight and a little hard to score. I thought Taylor landed quite a bit more in most of the rounds though, she was almost landing every punch she threw at times.
