Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 Preview & Prediction

The first fight was very close, and both fighters had a legitimate argument to have their hand raised in victory. Since their first bout, Taylor, 38, has fought three times, including two contests with Chantelle Cameron, the first of which saw her unbeaten record go by the wayside. Although she won their immediate rematch by majority decision, some thought Cameron also won that fight.

Serrano, in the meanwhile, has secured five straight wins, albeit none of her opponents were on Taylor’s level. Despite that, it can’t be denied that Serrano is a complete fighter, technically supreme, and undoubtedly the hardest puncher in women’s boxing. Her footwork is the one area that could sway the pendulum towards her opponent. When Taylor wasn’t on the move, that’s when she was getting clipped. When Taylor wasn’t a stationary target, she got the better of Serrano.

Weight could also be a factor, as Taylor has fought at 140 pounds in her last two fights, whereas Serrano successfully defended her 126-pound belt in October 2023. While it’s understandable why some could see that as an issue, Serrano has proven throughout her career that she is one of the most disciplined fighters of her generation. We can expect another classic fight between these two future Hall of Famers but expect another controversial decision.

This is Texas, baby. We have Mike Tyson in the main event. Taylor-Serrano 2 is the appetizer to the entree. Do you think judges for this event want to see a boxing match or something a little extra? Serrano is bringing the heat, and in Texas, that might be enough to give her the win, even if Taylor manages to outbox her during long stretches.

I’ll go with the upset. I’m taking Serrano by split decision.
