‘I Was Like Seriously?’ – Katie Taylor Hits Out at Amanda Serrano’s ‘Embarrassing’ Antics
Katie Taylor labeled Amanda Serrano’s build-up antics as ’embarrassing’.
Serrano and her team have been crying foul since the trilogy was confirmed, claiming the New York resident won the first two bouts and labeling the Irish Icon and dirty fighter.
Proceedings were feistier than usual at the press conference to confirm the bout earlier this year, with the ‘Real Deal’ accusing the Wicklow trailblaer of reneging on a three-minute round promise.
The two-weight undisputed world champion let the Puerto Rican native know, that after winning their first two fights, she didn’t have to agree to a three-peat.
Serrano continued her attempts to get under Taylor’s skin come head-to-head time.
The multi-weight world champion wore a headguard, taking shots at Taylor, with reference to her ‘use of the head’ claims post their second encounter.
The trailblazing Olympic medal winner wasn’t impressed and said Serrano should be red-faced about her behavior.
âWhen I saw her come out with the headgear on, I thought that was actually quite embarrassing. I was like, âSeriously?â This is embarrassing from her point of view,â she said.
âSheâs embarrassing herself, really. Thatâs so ridiculous.
âI donât need this fight. Thatâs the thing. She needs this fight a lot more than I do. So, she should be thanking me for this opportunity, really.
âIâve already lost one of my champion privileges: she wants to walk to the ring second, she wants to be announced second. Itâs absolutely ridiculous.
âBut whatever. I donât really care about that stuff. I just want to get in there, fight and perform. And after I win for a third time, I donât want any complaints.”
The trilogy will be completed in Madison Square Garden on July 11 as the rivals meet on top of a Netflix broadcast bill.
