Undisputed female lightweight champion Katie Taylor (20-0, 6 KOs) and women’s P4P best Amanda Serrano (42-1-1 30 KOs) came face-to-face at MSG today for the first time since their April 30 fight was announced, and had the following to say:

Katie Taylor: “I’ve had my eyes on Amanda Serrano and this is a fight I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time now…I think that this fight is the most exciting fight in the sport, not just female boxing. This really is the best fight in boxing right now.”

Amanda Serrano: “I don’t need to talk bad about any of my opponents. I do all of my talking inside the ring. 13 years I’ve been professional and every other day I have wanted to quit…never did I imagine making the money I have today. I mean, headlining MSG, like what?”

  • I think Taylor has lost a step or two at 35. When she was at her best, I don’t think either Sharapova or Natasha Jonas has anything for her and Jonas almost beat her. However, I think she’s a naturally larger person than Serrano so that may be able to outweigh anything she may’ve lost in terms of quality. Leaning towards Serrano, but I don’t care who wins, just damn looking forward to seeing it.

    • great points Lucie. i’m actually looking forward to this scrap as well… Im with ya though, I dont care which one actually wins. They are both great champions and both deserve it. I guess we will see..

    • Totally agree! Like most fights in boxing I would have rather seen this when they were in their prime, but nevertheless it’s a fight I really want to see!! Love watching Serrano, Mayer and Seniesa Estrada!! As for McCaskill…..YUCK

  • About time lady worriors get paid properly and for that single fact i respect Paul the aspiring boxer. Excellent job Paul!!!!

    • She used to – Cindy Serrano. Hasn’t fought in a few years. Her last fight was actually against Taylor, lost to a shutout on all three cards.

  • The Serrano sisters id take e’m out on the same night….on a date ha! They are nice to look at.

  • for all the female fighter haters calling this a snoozer you should all be use to it watching Mayflower fights lol anyway for the true fans of the sport this will be the biggest woens boxing fight in history so make sure to watch it i got the power punching Serrano by late round TKO

  • Why in the world is Jake Paul here? What a gimmick he is. He has no business sharing space with these two. He’s not a serious fighter.
