Katie Taylor v. Amanda Serrano

Would it sell out Croke Park? I'd be going, I think it would but some peeps are skeptical

I doubted her. Thought she would come unstuck tonight. What a performance. Rose to the occasion as all the greats do. That’s the best she’s boxed in the pro’s by a considerable distance.

Would love to see her retire now. What a fighter.

Steve Bunce mentioned Croke Park in this program about 10:45 mins in. Dublin is relatively easy to get to from mainland UK so if it is promoted right they could sell it out

Can see croker happening.

Notice the crowd last night?

More Irish Mammies there than at a Monster Bingo event.

Only weapons confiscated at the door were sets of knitting needles.

Up there with AJ for the oul transcending 😜

Of course she'd sell out Croke Park, it would be absolutely massive and the world and his mother would want to be there. At this stage of her career, all she's done and achieved, i really don't understand how anyone could continue to underestimate her star power. I don't know about retirement, she has never given any indication it is even close to imminent. I think she should carry on as long as she wants, irrespective of what others think she should do.

I felt that as well, but plenty credit they gave Katie as well. At least that’s what I noticed.

100% agree with this. Everyone and their mother will want to be at croke Park. It sells, I have absolutely no doubt.

But what happens if she loses? And there is a very real chance. That fight was on a knife-edge last night at times. Katie came very close to being stopped.

rematch for what? To line peoples pockets? Vast majority people who attend these events are event junkies.

I’d be sickened if there was a huge rematch homecoming and Katie was beaten convincingly. Of course, she could win, but she’s done it all. She comes across as a really good person , who I don’t think is thinking too much of the money.

Hearn last night came across as a pure money-making leech. His interview was all for making more money on the rematch. Fight barely 5 mins over and his narrative was how can we squeeze more. Vulgar.

The fight last night was fantastic. Nail biting, action packed, so courageous. Katie showed everything, and got the win. But make no mistake, people will soon completely forget that should Serrano beat Katie in Croker. And I’d hate to see that.

Katie will be 36 in a few months. Is healthy, wealthy and loved, and has a brilliant career in the bag. Perfect to get out..

Just on Katie last night. I can’t recall seeing her as neat, slick, fast, clever, and resourceful. She was so zoned in. Yes, she got caught and was hurt, but that happens.

One the commentators mentioned about Katie needing to get involved, but carefully. And he was dead right. Katie won the fight in the trenches, as much as on the cute sniper side.

It was the times where Katie traded and dug in and landed where I think the judges scored this.

I won’t say a perfect performance, but considering the heat and skill Serrano brought, it was a 9.5/10 from Katie.

Yawn, are people still fooled by this boxing ,money grabbing bore fest...........I wonder will there be a rematch...

Lots eating humble pie with the cornflakes this morning! Katie GOAT should retire at top of the tree.

I was one of those who was wrong, but I'm perfectly glad to be.

To be honest though, how the fight went actually justifies why people picked Serrano. On the evidence of what we'd seen so far in their career Katie wouldn't have had enough, she had to find the best performance of her career to squeek through, and was close to being stopped.

A sensational display though and I looked forward to watching it back.

Serrano's lack of head movement made it so much easier for Katie to counter, and while the 5th round probably had a fair impact in Serrano tiring, the fact Katie had her swinging hard at fresh air so often aswell was a major contribution.

Katie doesn't need the money for a rematch and it would be a great time for her to retire, but she likely won't.

In similar fashion to mountaineers who decide to continue scaling the highest peaks, even after they've summited them before. Katie will keep going, and hopefully keep summiting........ and getting back down safely.

She'd sell out Croke Park.

Even I'd go.
