Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3
As someone who spent years covering combat sports, it takes a lot for me to get excited about a big fight these days. But I have to say, I'm pretty pumped for Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3. Set to throw down Friday night at Madison Square Garden, Ireland's Taylor will look to make it a perfect 3-0 against Serrano, as the boxing stars headline a history-making card for Netflix featuring an all-women lineup.

It's hard to believe, but 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' kicked off its 17th season this week, extending its record as America's longest-running live-action comedy show. The lovable scumbags of Paddy's Pub get to team up again with another Philadelphia institution this season, as the cast of 'Abbott Elementary' appears in this week's premiere. A prior crossover episode featured the 'Sunny' cast guest-starring on 'Abbott.'
