Boxing



Did she absolutely blitz it in the final rounds and I somehow missed it ? I stopped properly paying attention in the round where she was getting absolutely smashed.
 
Thought Taylor won that 6-4 or arguably even 7-3. People are shouting robbery because Serrano won the 5th and 6th rounds very widely but the rest of the rounds were close. Katie won 1,2,3,7,8,9 with 10 being close.

The commentary was absolutely shocking. Mannix and Mora didn't recognise any of Katie's work and McCaskill seems to dislike her because she beat her.

I don’t think the outcome was a robbery but the scores themselves were a joke. Personally I had Taylor first 2, Serrano the next 5 and then Taylor 8-9 and Serrano 10. I get that some of those rounds could have gone the other way to the extent that maybe Taylor had it by 1 max but those cards stunk.

Taylor definitely won the 7th I thought pretty convincingly. I think the 10th was quite close and scrappy. When you're debating a one round swing it's not really a robbery as the fight is close. Probably one of those occasions where neither fighter deserved to lose.

No issue with them doing it again though although I do think Taylor might retire.

Totally agree mate. Wasn’t a huge leap to see Katie win but the cards were just nonsense and that further undermines - for me, personally - faith in judging in pro boxing.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Katie called it quits, either.
