The Only Fighter To Beat Katie Taylor Predicts Amanda Serrano Rematch: "She Has The Edge"

Mikaela Mayer Names Amanda Serrano The Favorite

Mikaela Mayer, who handed Katie Taylor her only career defeat in 2019, believes Amanda Serrano has the edge in the highly-anticipated rematch with the Irish star.

Serrano's Power And Momentum

Mayer, who is set to face Taylor's bitter rival Delfine Persoon later this year, pointed to Serrano's power and momentum as key factors in her prediction. Serrano has won her last six fights by stoppage, including an impressive victory over Sarah Mahfoud in September 2022.

Taylor's Fighting Spirit

However, Mayer also recognized Taylor's fighting spirit and determination. "Katie Taylor is a great champion and she's going to give it her all," Mayer said. "But I think Amanda Serrano has the edge in this fight. She's got the power, she's got the momentum, and she's hungry for the win."

Serrano vs. Taylor II In 2023

Serrano and Taylor are expected to rematch later in 2023, after their first fight in April 2022 saw Serrano drop a split decision. The bout was competitive, with Serrano delivering a strong performance and Taylor showing her resilience. The rematch is eagerly anticipated by boxing fans.

Mayer: "Serrano Has The Edge"

Mayer's prediction adds fuel to the anticipation surrounding the rematch. The American fighter's assessment is based on her own experience facing Taylor and her observations of Serrano's recent performances. With both Taylor and Serrano holding world titles, the rematch promises to be a blockbuster event in the women's boxing scene.
