Katie Taylor vs. Flora Pili & David Allen vs. Thomas Carty + Paddy Donovan vs. Tyrone McKenna RBR.

You'll not see me disagree that Claressa won the fight well. But the Marshall hype was based on her victory over Claressa in the amateurs. 6-4 isn't an egregious scorecard either. You can find 4 rounds for Savannah in that fight. I think 7-3 was probably about right though. Far from an absolute drubbing. It is still Claressa's toughest fight to date, and still her only win above B tier.

 

True enough, but she was involved in some of the least boring female boxing matches ever, and won the **** out of the final Serrano fight.

 

^^^ This is the perfect answer. Lennon is professional, rarely makes mistakes, has a solid voice, goes out of his way to make sure he says all names from all countries correctly and doesn't try to draw attention to himself.

 

Wasn’t able to see the card, 6 hours left in work with some dodgey internet, if someone could give me a detailed summary of how Paddy looked, Carty vs Allen and I’m assuming Katie won a landslide

 

How could you miss it?

 

Current Errol Zimmerman looks like he hangs out at the buffet with Ruiz. I remember when he was going to war with Rico and Hari.

 

O believe Serrano won the first if that was the one at Paul-Tyson that I unfortunately attended. Serrano looked strangely mesmerized in the 3rd fight. Did nothing to win; paid off maybe?

 

Nah, just a tactical disaster. In your support, the previous extremely dodgy decisions may have contributed to that misguided alternative strategy. The fight itself was legit though. Serrano was worth one win minimum from the series though, no doubt.

Don't forget Delphoon btw, which was an actual robbery, instead of a close one.

 

For the record I had Taylor winning all 3 fights vs Serrano for me only the 2nd fight was really debatable.

And even the cries for robbery in the 2nd fight were overblown. Brought on by ridiculous biased commentary that influenced casuals on social media to hop on the robbery narrative.

My scorecards were very similar if i remember correctly.As a Taylor fan i know i will be accused of bias but so are the anti Taylor scorecards.Which ever way you scored the first 2 fights calling the outcomes robbery is ridiculous,both close.The 3rd fight was Taylor`s beyond question

 

I scored the Taylor v Serrano fights 96-94, 95-94 and 97-93 in order of the fights.

I was at the Persoon 1 fight and Persoon probably did shade it but it wasn’t a ‘robbery’.
