The time has almost come for the epic rematch between two of the best female boxers in the sport. Undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) takes on Puerto Rican heavyweight Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The match is scheduled as the co-main event on the world televised card between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. The paper will be presented on Netflix which has more than 270 million registered subscribers worldwide.
The event claimed to have broken the record for combat sports in Texas by nearly doubling the previous record set by Canelo Alvarez when he fought Joe Saunders in 2021. His $9 million record was broken by Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, with the new. mark that registers at 17.8 million dollars. Set the stage for this historic rematch.
Katie Taylor, at 38, faces, once again, the opponent who pushed her to the brink. For the first time in his career he came very close to being knocked out several times. Serrano is also the opponent who has landed the most punches against Taylor at 173. It’s been over two years since their first match, will Serrano be able to improve on his performance?
In the time that has passed Katie Taylor has had two tough matches against Chantelle Cameron, losing the first and winning the rematch. Cameron showed in the first match his ability to expose Taylor by throwing more than 200 shots. Although not all of them connect, the throws caused Taylor to defend.
Cameron had great success throwing double and triple jabs and followed up with effective combinations. Cameron was relentless and applied pressure throughout the match. Serrano was rather ineffective with his jab in the first match only landing two punches in the match.
If Serrano improves in this area, it will allow him to be much more efficient, create openings, and land many punch combinations. She must be relentless, but apply intelligent pressure. This may be his last opportunity to make history, and he must capitalize and give everything for the 20-minute match.
In the first match, Taylor took a lot of punishment to stay in the pocket and trade with Serrano. She is a warrior who likes to trade; if he does that in this match, it could end up costing him the match. In his second match against Cameron, Taylor lowered his defense by boxing to the outside and minimizing Cameron’s effectiveness.
Cameron was not as nimble or mobile as Taylor and struggled to hit the moving target. His production was half of what he had pitched in the first game, so he landed less as well. If Taylor stops and moves, becoming a moving target in the rematch, it will create offensive challenges for Serrano and minimize his effectiveness.
Taylor can’t play to Serrano’s strength and trade with it; if he does, he may not be lucky this time and earn a victory. Taylor hasn’t earned a knockout win since 2019, so getting one against Serrano could be extremely challenging.
