Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3 Press Conference Quotes

Katie Taylor

“I have my own opinion about the stuff that Amanda has been saying on our team, but the fact is I am 2-0 against her,” said Taylor. “Opinions are opinions, but facts are facts and you can’t get away from those facts. And yeah, I guess I’m just tired of the complaining and the whining from Amanda’s team. I’m going into this fight already beating Amanda and I plan to stay beating her. I plan to stay 3-0 come this Friday night.”

Fight Prediction

Taylor won both of her previous contests against Serrano, but the fights themselves were very close. Although she still ranks among the best women boxing currently, at 39 it may not be long before she calls it a day. Serrano definitely has the ability to defeat Taylor and this may be her best opportunity to do so. Expect the Puerto Rican to finally triumph against her rival via unanimous decision.
