On April 30, 2022, Beijing time, the female professional boxing lightweight overlord, the current WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO lightweight world champion Katie Taylor and the challenger, Puerto Rican boxer Amanda Serrano, who has won seven world championship titles, successfully passed the pre-match weighing ceremony at Madison Garden Plaza in New York, USA.
During the pre-race weigh-up ceremony, Katie Taylor, 35, was first weighed and made it through with a pre-match weight of 134.6 pounds (61.05 kilograms). Her opponent, Amanda Serrano, 33, weighed 133.6 pounds (60.6 kilograms) and passed the game in one go.
Tomorrow (May 1, 2022), the battle of the century in women's professional boxing will be officially staged in the United States' boxing mecca - Madison Garden Plaza in New York, when the world-class streaming platform DAZN will broadcast the match live. This match will be the first professional boxing competition in the history of professional boxing to use a women's competition as the main competition, and it is also the first large-scale regular competition held after the famous American Internet celebrity Jack Paul entered the professional boxing event promotion market.
Katie Taylor from Ireland won the gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics boxing event for Ireland in the amateur boxing era, and after entering the professional boxing arena, she was unbeatable, successfully unifying the title of world boxing champion of the four lightweight organizations and becoming the lightweight hegemon of women's professional boxing. And in 2019, Katie Taylor also tried to advance to the ultra-lightweight class, where she beat Christina Linadatu and returned with a WBO super lightweight world champion gold belt.
As Katie Taylor's opponent in this competition, Amanda Serrano's professional experience is also legendary. In the amateur boxing era, Amanda Serrano, who trained in the United States, won the New York State Golden Glove Boxing Championship. After officially entering the professional boxing arena in 2009, Amanda Serrano started from 130 pounds and won the title of World Champion in seven levels of 130, 135, 126, 122, 118, 140, and 115 pounds. Amanda Serrano, on the other hand, won 42, lost 1 and drew 1, with a KO rate of 30 KO opponents, which is also rare among female boxers.
In the pre-match prediction, most of the media believed that the strength of the two was not comparable, and the age gap was not large, so it was difficult to predict the victory or defeat of the two sides. In the century P4P ranking of female boxers of ESPN TELEVISION, a well-known sports media in the United States, Katie Taylor ranks first and Amanda Serrano ranks second, so it can be said that tomorrow's game will be a veritable battle of King's Mountain. So like friends don't miss this game.
