Katie Taylor’s promoter chimes in on retirement talk after ‘absolutely schooling’ Amanda Serrano as he slams Netflix

EDDIE HEARN believes Katie Taylor could go “another 30 rounds” following her “absolute schooling” of Amanda Serrano.

Taylor, 39, rolled back the clock as she outclassed her career nemesis in their trilogy bout at Madison Square Garden.

KT ran out majority decision victor after two judges scored the bout 97-93 while the third called it a 95-95 draw.

The same result was scored by Netflix‘s unofficial scorecards, with Hearn hitting out at the streaming giant.

He told iFL TV: “If you want to listen to Netflix scoring it 95-95 – how can you give Serrano five rounds?

“If I was really, really, really generous I’d give her three rounds. After seven rounds or six rounds, she was so deflated.

“She couldn’t win a round. Katie’s feet were so fast. It was an absolute schooling.

“Respect to Serrano, amazing showing, thank you for the opportunity but wow, incredible.”

Taylor and Serrano topped an all-female billing at a sold-out Madison Square Garden.

And Hearn believes KT’s latest showing cements her as the greatest female boxer of all time.

The Matchroom Boxing head honcho added: “It is a non negotiable, mate. On so many different levels.

“The way she carries herself, the role model she is to young people, the way she fights, the way she trains, the barriers she has broken down.


“Just a complete legend.

“I’m proud of her, you should be proud of her, the whole of Ireland.”

Speaking after her hand was raised, Taylor offered the biggest hint that she was considering retirement, admitting she “doesn’t know” if she will keep going.

Hearn, however, suggested that Ireland’s favourite daughter is fresh as a daisy and has plenty left in the tank.

He said: “if it was really tough tonight, does the conversation come where you say: is it time?

“She is fresh as a daisy. She can do another 30 rounds.

“Normally, she is out on her feet.

“When she boxes like that, I know it might not be as enjoyable but if you know anything about boxing, that is an absolute masterclass.”
