Taylor vs Serrano: Betting Preview
Serrano has rattled off four straight wins after her razor-thin loss to Tayor in 2022. Does the Puerto Rican have the juice to avenge her previous loss?
The odds suggest Serrano is a narrow underdog.
How Serrano Wins
Serrano put a hurt on Taylor early in their last fight. The Puerto Rican marched forward and banged away at Taylor's chin with hooks, bloodying her by the fifth round. "The Real Deal" nearly had a TKO victory, but Taylor answered at every turn, planting her back foot and firing counters.
In the rematch, Serrano can't let her power taper off. The 35-year-old hasn't won a fight by stoppage since 2021, but that doesn't mean she can't do damage. Taylor has aged since their last fight, and Serrano clearly caught her in the first fight before losing some steam in the later rounds.
If you're betting on Serrano, her underdog value is probably enough. A sneaky play for her to win by KO/TKO might also tickle your fancy.
How Taylor Wins
Stay hungry and keep those feet moving. The Ireland native has way faster hands than Serrano, though she's a little shorter on power. Her best bet to victory comes by keeping the Puerto Rican at distance and going when she goes. Counterpunching will be massive for Taylor, as she's bound to feel Serrano's heat early.
Taylor has a strong chin. She's no stranger to getting wobbled, but she always perseveres. For Taylor bettors, count on this fight going the distance. From there, a bet on Taylor by points is the way to go.
Taylor vs Serrano Picks
Taylor's unbreakable spirit is hard to deny, but the odds have forced my hand in this one. If this bout plays anywhere as close as the first one, I have to bet the underdog. Serrano's power is key — which is why I don't hate a sprinkle on a KO bet — and she was only a few minutes short of a victory in 2022.
I'll bet Serrano to win.
