Analysis
This has been THE fight to make and it's just hours away.
Not only is this a historic match but it is also going to be incredibly close. The two fighters are two top pound-for-pound fighter in the world and also completely differ stylisticly.
Serrano is the more heavy handed puncher while Katie Taylor is absolutely the more superior boxer in terms of movement, speed and timing. The two styles set this up to be a barnstorming encounter with a perfect mix that may see this fight go the distance.
It is set to be be rugged and grueling, and a fight that will go down in history for the promotion and numbers outside of the ring but also the boxing in the ring.
