What a fuckin' fight! That girl is heroic, no doubt about it. I've never seen such humility from a beaten fighter afterwards either. Last round was as brutal as they come.

That last round was insane. What a fight. Had everything bar a knockdown. We might get one of them in the sequel.

Taylor decision was a disgrace and shows just how corrupt boxing is. Serrano won the fight.

Nope. 6 4 to Taylor I had it. Now it was damn close but she just edged it. Defo had first 3 rounds and 8 and 9. 10 is debatable.

I'd have given it to Serrano too, Taylor was saved by the bell at least twice. It was close alright, but if the 5th or 10th had lasted another 10 or 20 seconds, she was gone.

I get ya but being saved by the bell in a round just means Serrano got the round. And Taylor defo won 5 rounds. Now she wained in the 10th near the end but got a shit load of punches off before the end of that round.

I had Serrano winning as well but over the moon KT got it. Two warriors. Had a mate calling to pull KT out in the 5th.

Smith fight was also great and a few good ones on the Stevenson v Valdez card. Great night of boxing.

The heart she showed in the last round, even when she was fading badly, it was very emotional to watch and as you said she kept throwing punches even though she was badly out in her feet. How many others would have folded like an accordion?

Controversial win? Probably, but Serrano took it heroically, pure magnanimous. She knew she'd get another go :)

Canelo v Bivol tonight. Only going one way which lines up the third GGG fight in September. Should've happened years ago. GGG is just gone 40.

And I was happily wrong. Bivol was class. Judges scored it a lot tighter than it was but Bivol was at least 8-4.

Caught the last half of it last night, was mad seeing Canelo getting battered like that, I reckon Bivol knocks him out in a rematch, too big and too good.

Don't understand what this crack is with Canelo fighting at LHW is anyway, step too far.

Ya, it looked like he could've dropped him in 11 and 12. Never seen Canelo shook like that. At no point did he look like a threat, which is mental. I'd say your right about the rematch.

Would love to see Beterbiev v Bivol. Two hard as all fuck Russians. It'd be destruction.

Anyone watch Charlo v Castano last night? Savage fight with a great end.

Ennis looking untouchable on the co-main as well.

I watched the Gilberto Ramirez vs Dominic Boesel one last night. Would love to see Ramirez tackle Canelo Alvarez. The light heavyweighs are more exciting than the heavyweights at this point.

Will have a look for that. I'd be sceptical of Canelo staying at light heavy after Bivol. Be interesting to see what he'll do next. The heavyweight has been more exciting in the last few years than it was during the Klitschko reign.

Welter is the top weight at the minute for me. Spence Jr, Bud Crawford, Ennis, Thurman, Avanesyan and Conor Benn is making good strides but he's only been fighting older boxers so we'll see how he's fixed if this Ramirez fight comes together.
