Taylor vs Serrano up there with one of the best

Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano was a implausible present on Saturday night time, a history-making battle for boxing with two ladies preventing for all of the belts at Madison Sq. Backyard. The motion was merely unimaginable.

Once we take into consideration a number of the classics now we have watched through the years, Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward, Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera… I believe that have to be up there too.

In spherical 5, Serrano unloaded on Katie who regarded gone on her toes. However she took them and bounced straight again. It was inspirational. I had Katie profitable by the smallest of margins, however I don’t assume there would have been too many complaints had it been dominated a draw too.

Jake Paul wants to remain in his lane

Jake Paul was satisfied Serrano was robbed and was straight within the ring to have his say afterwards. Now you'll be able to’t knock Jake Paul for what he has executed and the cash he's making. He performed his half in getting this battle on too, Eddie Hearn had loads of reward for him for his position in making it occur and constructing Serrano up.

However like a typical YouTuber, he needed to say one thing controversial, simply to get a little bit of consideration. Hold your mouth shut! They've simply placed on one of many fights of the century, this was two ladies making historical past, they don’t want you saying something in regards to the battle. I felt like leaping down the TV and knocking him out!

Individuals nonetheless focus on whether or not he's good for boxing however I’m not too positive. Serrano actually wasn’t searching for controversy, there have been no complaints from her. The battle was nip and tuck, not a lot in it however she didn’t moan. And had it gone the opposite means, I don’t assume Katie would have complained an excessive amount of both it was that shut at occasions. There was no controversy. And for him to say Katie, among the best round, was ‘speaking quite a lot of s**t’… I’m sorry, how lengthy have you ever been within the sport?

Perhaps it’s me, possibly I've to maneuver with the occasions. I’m very old-fashioned and what Jake Paul is, it isn't the world I come from. He’s not from the Ricky Hatton faculty of something, that's for sure.

Canelo destined for light-heavyweight greatness

I believe Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez can go on and unify the light-heavyweight division after beating Dmitry Bivol this weekend. Having mentioned that, I believe this would be the hardest battle of his profession since shedding to Floyd Mayweather.

He confirmed in opposition to Sergey Kovalev in 2019 he can carry the burden with him and put it on in opposition to a a lot greater man. I do assume Bivol is a bit more energizing than Kovalev, a bit sharper and naturally undefeated.

When Canelo boxed Kovalev, I assumed he was ever so barely behind on the scorecards earlier than the end got here. However as he so usually does, he regarded like he might put his foot down at any time that night time and obtained Kovalev out of there.

He has actually obtained the ability and power to maneuver by means of the weights and that's additionally resulting from his implausible defensive potential. He deflects the burden benefit his rivals generally have by making his man join with contemporary air. That's the reason Floyd was capable of transfer by means of and battle greater males due to that talent. It's alright having that weight benefit and that additional weight on the punches but when they aren't touchdown, it doesn’t matter. Canelo can do this to folks.

Canelo vs Bivol prediction

I believe Canelo will win on factors on Saturday, I believe will probably be very aggressive, however I believe he'll discover sufficient to do it. I see it being a type of fights the place he takes management within the ninth or tenth spherical and places his foot down. He simply is aware of when to do this.

By way of how far he can undergo the weights, I don’t learn about heavyweight, however he would possibly go to cruiserweight. However Canelo will simply take it because it goes. He's in no rush. It appears he has been round eternally having turned skilled at 15 however he has been capable of hit and never get hit all through his profession so he can go on so long as he likes. So long as he has obtained the starvation.

Massey will get the job executed on Fightzone

It was one other good night time for Jack Massey on Fightzone final week, though his IBO title wasn’t on the road ultimately. That didn’t matter, it was nonetheless extra helpful expertise for him as he went 20-1, ending Vaclav Pejsar within the second spherical with a nasty physique shot.

Massey obtained the win on Fightzone final Saturday.

He received’t thoughts me saying, Jack continues to be a piece in progress, he's bettering on a regular basis. While you win a title as Jack did final yr, your confidence rises and you need to make sure you sport rises with it. He got here and obtained the job executed final week.

He must maintain defending his title in opposition to several types of opponents and maintain bettering. It's as much as Dennis Hobson and his coach Robert Rimmer now to resolve what's subsequent for him, if there is a little more work that wants doing or if he is able to push on for an additional belt.

It's all about timing however so far as Jack is worried, he simply must maintain doing what he doing.

He didn’t have all of it his personal means within the first spherical that night time however he recovered extraordinarily properly. He'll take that as one other studying expertise and it was one other step ahead for him.
