On Saturday evening inside of Madison Square Garden, we will have an incredible boxing fight as Katie Taylor will square off against Amanda Serrano with Taylor putting her WBA, WBC, IBF, WFO, and The Ring female lightweight championships on the line in this fight. This fight was originally going to happen at a Matchroom Fight Camp event but COVID-19 and a lot of threatening of legal action regarding payouts haltered it. This will be an incredible fight so let’s dive into both fighters and decide which side of this we should be fighting.
Serrano vs Taylor Stats
Amando Serrano Stats
When you want to talk about a boxing veteran inside of the ring, it is tough to not think about “The Real Deal” Amanda Serrano. She is an incredible 42-1-1 with 30 knockouts in her career and fights from a southpaw stance, which can make it a little less conventional for her opponents to see what is coming. It has been over a decade since she has not won a fight and has shown the ability to go the distance lately as her last two fights both were won via unanimous decision.
She definitely has a lot of power behind her strikes with a 71.4 knockout percentage so that is going to help her control the fight. Even if she does not end up with a knockout here, those heavy strikes are going to hurt Taylor and make it easier for Serrano to control the later rounds.
Katie Taylor Stats
Katie Taylor has been doing very well in her career and has been a perfect 20-0-0 record with six knockouts. However, she has been put to the limit as she has not won by knockout since March 2019 against Rose Volante. Her last six fights all were won by unanimous decision, so Taylor has figured out how to dominate her fights. This also is not her first time fighting in the World’s Most Famous Arena, so that will help her calm her nerves heading into this fight.

Conclusion
This is going to be one of the biggest female boxing fights of the entire calendar year as Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor should be an extremely competitive and entertaining clash of the best female boxers in the world today. It is definitely a shame that one of these incredible boxers are going to have to lose but the female lightweight championships are going to change hands in this matchup.
Looking just purely at the style that these two women fight with, Serrano should have the edge with her power and ferocity behind the strikes. Taylor does not have anything comparable to that same power and I do not believe that she is that much better of a technical fighter to avoid and win rounds. This is definitely the best competition that Katie Taylor is going to face and the have strikes are going to pay a toll as the rounds continue.
Do not get my words twisted though, I genuinely feel Katie Taylor is going to be ready for a challenge like Amanda Serrano, but Serrano’s passion and desire to win the championships will set her at a different level for this fight and she will win the scorecards by landing enough heavy punches.
This will likely end up going to the judges and with the way, Serrano’s fighting prowess is, this should be leaning in her direction as she is going to be the aggressor throughout the entire fight. All in all, go with Amanda Serrano to win the fight and hand Katie Taylor her first career loss and set up for an eventual rematch.
