Katie Taylor Preview – Can KT stay on top?
Really Ireland’s Katie Taylor has nothing left to prove in the sport as she has done it all.
KT is an Olympic, World Champion and European Champion and has been at the top of the lightweight division for a long time.
Taylor holds a perfect 20 wins from 20 bouts in her professional career.
6 of those victories have come via a knockout.
In boxing betting odds, Taylor is the 11/10 underdog* (odds recorded 22:12 GMT on April 29th 2022).
That says a tremendous amount about the challenge she faces in New York.
Back in 2017 Taylor won the vacant WBA female lightweight title to get herself firmly on the ladder.
Two fights later she had added the IBF female lightweight title.
The WBO title was added in 2019 before picking up the WBC version against Delfine Persoon the same year.
Taylor has had five successful defences of all of her belts.
They are all (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO) on the line on Saturday evening and this would be her biggest success yet.
This fight does so much for women’s boxing and it’s a fantastic situation where it is a headline fight.
Can Taylor keep her undefeated legacy going by putting the win on the board?
Really since her second fight in her rivalry against Delifne Persoon in 2020, it’s been routine victories for Taylor.
She hasn’t looked quite as explosive and controlled throughout them.
In her last fight, opponent Firuza Sharipova gave Taylor a big run for her money despite being a heavy underdog against the champ.
For Saturday’s boxing odds, Taylor by Decision is at 13/8* (odds recorded 22:12 GMT on April 29th 2022).
A KO looks highly unlikely between these two fighters who are on top of their respective games.
Amanda Serrano Preview – The Real Deal to take it all?
Amanda Serrano has had a long journey to the top of the sport.
She has spent a lot more time in the ring taking fights in her professional career than Taylor has.
Serrano’s pro career record is 42-1-1.
The one loss that befell her was back in 2012, a WBC female super featherweight title fight.
Her big breakthrough in this lightweight division came in 2014.
Serrano took the WBA title from Maria Elena Maderna by a knockout.
The Puerto Rican has been versatile throughout her career, fighting across different weight divisions.
Most of it has been featherweight meaning that this is not perhaps her ideal weight division.
In the boxing odds outright for Taylor v Serrano, Serrano is the 4/6 favourite* (odds recorded 22:12 GMT on April 29th 2022).
She certainly has her assets and the Real Deal has some big punching power with 30 of her 42 wins coming by a knockout.

Amanda Serrano is a southpaw and it’s usually very busy in the early stages of her fights.
While she carries her hammer-blow threat, she is arguably not as good a technical boxer as Taylor is.
This is just going to be a fascinating showdown.
The last fight that Serrano had was in December last year, taking a routine win by decision.
One criticism is that her record of stoppages has been bolstered by facing less than impressive opposition.
This too for Serrano is easily the toughest fight of her career.
Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano Betting Advice
Which way does Taylor v Serrano end up going? For Taylor v Serrano boxing tips, we are going with KT.
It is the 11/10 outright pick for Taylor to come through this and further cement her legendary status* (odds recorded 22:12 GMT on April 29th 2022).
The 35-year-old is coming to the twilight of her career and her most recent victories have been a bit more laborious than she would possibly have liked.
But they have shown that she still has a superb engine and can stick in there and nick this.
Key Facts – Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano Betting Tip
- Katie Taylor is undefeated in her pro career
- Katie Taylor puts four belts on the line on Saturday night
- Amanda Serrano has 30 stoppages in 42 pro victories
Taylor is a better technical boxer and her route to victory is probably just seeing off the early threat of Serrano.
Serrano tends to come out hard and fast, then fade over the second half of fights.
It’s worth remembering that she’s up in weight to fight in this division.
That’s where Taylor, with a savvy approach, can take the advantage.
This should go the distance though as Taylor doesn’t have the big knockout blow.
A Taylor by Decision is the other boxing tip at 13/8* (odds recorded 22:12 GMT on April 29th 2022).
