    Looking at her combos they are short and fast, a lot of fights involving males doesn`t show this combo skill and even though she`s fighting lousey competition I feel her combo punching is really good, how high does her combo punching rate out of 10?

    But her handspeed was fast and each punch followed the previous blow instantly, plus none of the punches travelled far.

    There's more than throwing a good combo than just throwing multiple punches. She squares up and when she's throwing her feet don't reposition. Her head barely moves off center line and her defense consist of pulling straight back. The only difference between this and her male counterparts at world level is that she doesn't get punished for it. She looks like Provodnikov with more handspeed and less power.

    Her combos and body shots are fantastic. If she was a man you would marvel at her.

    I wouldn’t compare with male, but for women her technique is 9/10.
    Serena Williams has over 20 grand slams but her technique couldn’t even compare with male ranked outside 100.

    No we wouldn't. People are way more harsh on males than females.

    This. Most pros can throw nasty combos. But the thing with combination punching is that it leaves opening, and a good fighter will exploit that.
    Some of the best KO's are guys getting caught while throwing a combination.

    And Taylor's combos aren't even impressive, tbh. Her speed is the key. She is one of the fastest boxers out there.

    If you want to see a real virtuoso at work:
