Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano III: What time, what channel and all you need to know
Katie Taylor once again puts her women's super-lightweight titles on the line against Puerto Rican sensation Amanda Serrano this Friday night/Saturday morning at Madison Square Garden in New York, topping the bill on a historic all-female card. Taylor won a narrow decision at the same venue in the first fight but came very close to being dropped in round five before finishing strongly to take home the victory. The pair clashed again last November as a co-headline with the fight between YouTuber Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in front of 60,000 people at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, and stole the show in another epic bout. Taylor eventually emerged victorious on a unanimous decision, much to the chagrin of Serrano who was adamant she'd won the fight and acussed Taylor of headbutting her way to the win. That bout was the most-watched women's sporting event in history with over 74 million views. Here's all you need to know about the trilogy fight. How can I watch it? As with Taylor Serrano II, the fight is being shown exclusively on Netflix but you'll be glad to hear there'll be no pay-per-view or extra fees for subscribers in Ireland or anywhere else. Just log in to your standard account and tune in live. What time is the fight? Main event ringwalks are expected to be around 3:30am Irish time, with the undercard starting from 1am Irish time. What are the rules? The fight will be fought under standard women's title fight rules, with 10 two-minute rounds. Taylor once again puts the super-lightweight titles she won in her rematch with Chantelle Cameron on the line. What can I read about the fight on "This time, there's no circus act. Taylor/Serrano will stand alone as the headline act in Madison Square Garden for the second time on Friday night next in New York, a little over three years on from their historic, epic first bout at the storied venue that Taylor won on a split decision in what has become the sport's biggest rivalry, irrespective of gender.' Colm Keys is in New York and has these pieces for you and the Indo Sport podcast team have also been discussing the fight. What's the full fight card? Dina Thorslund has pulled out of the all-female undercard after learning she is expecting her second child. The undefeated Dane had been scheduled to face Shurretta Metcalf in a bantamweight unification bout. In her absence, Australia's Cherneka Johnson has stepped in as a late replacement, accepting the fight on just five weeks' notice. Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano – Undisputed Super Lightweight Championship (10×2-minute rounds) Alycia Baumgardner vs Jennifer Miranda – Undisputed Super Featherweight Championship (10×2-minute) Savannah Marshall vs Shadasia Green – IBF & WBO Super Middleweight Unification (10×2) Ellie Scotney vs Yamileth Mercado – Unified Super Bantamweight Championship (10×2) Cherneka Johnson vs Shurretta Metcalf – Bantamweight Title Unification (10×2) Chantelle Cameron vs Jessica Camara – WBC Interim Super Lightweight Title (10×2) Ramla Ali vs Lila Furtado – Super Bantamweight bout (8×2) Tamm Thibeault vs Mary Casamassa – Middleweight, 3-minute rounds over 8 (equality format) What are the odds? Serrano is slight favourite at 4/6 with Taylor 13/10 and the draw is priced at 12/1.
