Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano & Jessie Vargas vs. Liam Mark Smith RBR.

Okay that's fair enough.

 

@CST80 @ShovelHook
I like you both. Both are great contributors in the forum.
Everybody have biases, especially CST lol but I like his passion, that’s why we are here for, boxing! its just some scorecards..

 

I had my bias in this fight too being an Irishman, but I was trying to be somewhat objective. I think I was more shocked that CST somehow agreed with Chris Mannix who was having an absolute mare. You should see how much twitter are ragging on him and McCaskill, who was even worse. It's goddamn hilarious and I can't wait to have a good ole **** talking back and forth with Mannix on twitter too.

 

@CST80 and I have had significant disagreements in the past, but in my experience he’s always been reasonable after the fact and I consider him a fair person, even when we have diametrically opposing views.

 

I've never denied that, I tend to agree with most of his stances as it is.

 

No. Because Inoue would destroy Fury.

 

I see.

Now I know why you used the words " I just kept imagining Inoue..."

You have an excellent imagination !

 

I'm talking about ireland. Tell me the corrupt decisions that have taken place in the Republic of ireland.
You still haven't backed up your statement at all you jackass

 

6-4 Taylor. 96-94, though I toyed with the idea of calling round 5 10-8 Serrano. Taylor fought back enough to warrant 10-9, though.

Could get to a draw, but 97-93 Taylor isn't that farfetched for me, either. With the exception of the 5th, Taylor was generally more accurate and landed the more eye catching stuff. You land at over 40 percent of your power shots, you put yourself in good position to win the round. Taylor did that in every frame but the fifth.

Serrano was dominant for a couple of rounds, but she didn't capitalize on that and allowed Taylor to eventually regain her footing and control of the fight. In the inevitable rematch (cause this was a very good and very fun watch even without the amazing atmosphere), she'll need to work on being more consistent from start to finish.

 

Mannix, is without doubt, the worst scoring commentator of fights I have witnessed. Brian Kenny comes up with some weird judging stances once in a while but Mannix is consistently ****ing terrible. I watched the fight but wasn't scoring it. It just seemed to me that Taylor was fighting for her life, the 2nd half of the fight. She fought well but I thought she clearly lost. I'm not prepared to argue about it though.

 

I know this goes massively against the grain but this honestly might be the one time where I thought Mannix actually had some insight that a lot of people seemingly didn’t. All over social media right now it’s a lot of people smugly declaring that Taylor ‘easily’ won the early rounds to be 3-0 or 4-0 up. Totally bogus narrative imo, the rounds individually were razor tight and Serrano was the one doing the hurting. Mannix saying Serrano had eked out some close early rounds with pressure and harder punching is honestly closer to the truth than saying Taylor ‘easily’ outboxed her.

 

No problem i think we all got caught up in the emotion following the fight.Btw i love your film lists in the lounge.Take care and keep fighting your corner

 

I thought Serrano won the fight but in the later rounds I knew Taylor was doing well enough to be gifted the decision. When the fight was over, I believed Serrano won but would not even be given a draw.
