The Rematch We’ve Been Waiting For: Taylor vs. Serrano II
The most highly anticipated fight on the undercard is undoubtedly the rematch between Katie Taylor, the undisputed lightweight champion, and Amanda Serrano, a seven-division world champion.

Taylor emerged victorious by split decision, but the fight left many hungry for more. Both fighters have a lot to prove in this rematch. Taylor, now 38, wants to solidify her dominance in the lightweight division. Meanwhile, Serrano, 36, is looking to avenge her only professional loss and establish herself as the queen of women’s boxing.
This is a clash of styles as well. Taylor, known for her technical brilliance and composure, will rely on her precise footwork and sharp counterpunching. Serrano, a force of nature in the ring, will bring her raw power and relentless aggression. Their contrasting approaches guarantee an exciting, potentially grueling battle.
More Championship Glory at Stake: Barrios vs. Ramos and Green vs. Watpool
The undercard also features two other title fights, showcasing rising stars in their respective divisions. Mario Barrios, the interim WBC welterweight champion, puts his belt on the line against Abel Ramos in a welterweight clash. Both fighters are known for their exciting, aggressive styles, promising a slugfest for the ages.
Barrios boasts a perfect record with impressive knockout power, but Ramos is a tough opponent with a never-say-die attitude. This fight could be a turning point in the welterweight division.
Meanwhile, Shadasia Green takes on Melinda Watpool for the vacant women’s WBO super-middleweight title. Green, a tough prospect with a strong jab and good movement, is looking to make a statement. However, Watpool is a seasoned veteran who shouldn’t be underestimated.
This fight could go either way, depending on whether Green can impose her style on the experienced Watpool.
