Katie Taylor vs the pundits | Johnny Nelson and Colm Keys on Taylor Serrano II

In Dallas, Katie Taylor came away victorious over Amanda Serrano … but many felt the decision went to the wrong fighter. Former World Cruiserweight Champion Johnny Nelson and Indo Sport’s Colm Keys join Joe to assess what the pundits were looking at, why Katie was good value for her victory, and where the Bray boxer goes next.
Plus: Why fans left early in the Tyson v Paul bout.

No robbery occurred if Boxing was based on stats we would not need judges. Close fight swung KT way she is the more skilful fighter depends what you like.

[@nestormoreno9451]

Amanda won that fight and Taylor is a dirty fighter

[@RugbyJackal]

Pity we didn't have Johnny and the lads instead of the idiotic netflix selections of Cedric the Entertainer (whoever T.F. he is but he's not a boxer or an entertainer if this was anything to go by) and some lass who was in Spike Lee films. Such shit production value, and their servers couldn't handle the traffic. Even worse than their appalling library of films.

@joeMolloy .. 2 things 1. I have giving you lot of criticism over last 2 years for some of your stuff. But must admit since your on here imho you have matured into a good interviewer. Second that ex boxer Nelson . Was the best person anywhere i have heard explaine katies fantastic Win. Please have him on again.

[@alcoyne3333333333333]

Said it afraid the last fight that its Amandas management and corner that are the bad losers. She has apologised for basically saying at the end what they ware telling her. Just like after the last fight they ware crying crap but she took it like a champion.

[@manuelromero438]

She came up three weight classes and won the fight. Amanda is the real legend. Katie's legend and name is crap every where but UK and Ireland. She won't live this down. She has injured a lot of good fighters. Blade in your braid is what people think. Head butting is against the rules. Lefties and eighties have a feet tangling issue not a head tangling issue.

I don't know but he is using argument that for every 2 or 3 shots of Serrano TAYLOR RESPONDED WITH 4 OR 5 SO HOW DID AMANDA OUTLANDED TAYLOR NUMBERS DONT LIE SERRANO LANDED 100 MORE PUNCHES!!

GOAT🇮🇪, she deserves the trilogy at Croke Park, would love to hear Serrano's clown coach after she loses again.

[@andrewwalsh6177]

she lost both fights she landed at least 20 headbutts over the 2 fights she was nearly ko 5 times a joke of a sport no rules and the judges please

The first headbutt changed the fight, the butting and holding , katie has the best pr in sport. Jonny nelson vs carl froch opinions i know who i would value. What Muppets on here

[@manuelromero438]

It's the feet that are a problem with southpaw anf eighties not the head. It's against the rules to lead with your head.

[@MB-lj8um]

They just released the fact that Serrano landed the most punches in history for a female fight, over 100 more than Taylor and with higher accuracy percentage too. So watching with “your own eyes” is a ridiculous statement. How does Taylor win when she didn’t land as many power punches, total punches and lower percentage landed. By what measure did she win, other than use of head and holding . It stinks , don’t care what Nelson and two Irish blokes say .

[@dunnE47]

It's judged on a per round basis. You can throw a load in one round more than another round. Taylor also threw better punches in terms of scoring.

All the people that say know boxing and then go on to say katie won dont know shit you just haters

Women’s boxing in particular has terrible judging , look at the Mayer v Jonas fight . Sandy Ryan v Mayer fight, Serrano v Taylor 1 and 2.

[@lurochannel]

Amanda won the fight, lets be real and honest here. There is obviously mafia behind this, Katie is a warrior and she fought like one. But Amanda is too much, more skill, more IQ, there no secret that Amanda is the little girl, Katie is the big girl, and Amanda was pushing her back and Taylor didn’t know what to do other than throw punches. 90% of viewers knows Amanda won.

Johnny, when i play football each Sunday morning, my style is to slide tackle high and hope for the best. But guess what? It is dangerous and its not allowed. Similar Katie Taylo’s “head butting” i do not know how she has got away with it for so long. And i’m a fan

[@manuelromero438]

The punch stats dude. As a former bover you should know. Using the head is against the rules. Did Amanda do that. YOU ARE WRONG SIR.

[@jamescook4116]

This was a very one-eyed view of the fight. Serrano outlanded Taylor by 100 punches. Make sure that you understand that statistic correctly. She outlanded Taylor by 100 punches. Then take into account that she hurt Taylor as well (1st and 7th rounds). To top it off she gets head butted and has a huge gash over her eye that she fights on with effectively. This doesn't take away from Taylor's bravery, skill, and toughness. However, I think it is a real stretch to say that Taylor won that fight.

[@banker1313]

ummm you are clearly very clueless as to how boxing is actually scored or boxing as a whole.. SO this negates everything else you say. Stats are irrelevant when it comes to determining who wins the fight. Taylor was landing more effective and clean and accurate punches and combination punches...Serrano had ZERO defense and took them all to face.

[@jamescook4116]

@@banker1313 You're delusional banker1313. Are you part of Taylor's family circle? I've watched a hell of a lot of boxing in my time, from McGuigan era to the present. Boxing is not that complicated to score. It is punches landed and the effect of those punches.

[@pauldoyle3771]

@@banker1313thank fuck someone said it, the commentary was nuts. Taylor clearly won that fight.. Serrano would throw a shit load, miss with most and then Taylor would pick her off.. masterclass… what a fight though.. magnificent!!

[@WilliamKenny-g6g]

She might of landed 100 more punche but not all punches landed are scoring shots . Katie landed more significant scoring combinations , and fact is most boxing judges would of scored the fight the same way .
