Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor: Rematch Stats and Fight Odds

Fighting Styles and Techniques

Both athletes are highly dynamic and thrilling to watch. In their first bout, Serrano aggressively set the tone, pushing forward and pressuring Taylor to the ropes. Meanwhile, Taylor showcased her exceptional skill in intercepting attacks, setting her apart as one of the elite in the sport. This rivalry, born two years ago, delivered one of the best fights of 2022 not only in women’s boxing but in professional boxing as a whole.

Age and Experience Difference

Serrano, 36, and Taylor, 38, have accomplished nearly everything in boxing, with numerous significant wins and titles under their belts. Both have held titles as undisputed world champions: Amanda at featherweight and Katie at lightweight.

Taylor may have a slight edge in freshness due to fewer total fights in her career, nearly half as many as Serrano. However, Amanda has a higher knockout rate, and when measured in total rounds fought, the difference is barely noticeable: Serrano has only 30 more career rounds than Taylor. This is truly a clash of skilled, experienced athletes, and in terms of experience, they’re virtually on par.

Punch Output in Recent Fights

Serrano can throw significantly more punches than her opponent, primarily due to her aggressive style. Amanda is an attacking fighter, constantly pressing forward and breaking down her opponents with body shots. In her 2023 bout against Danila Ramos alone, the Puerto Rican fighter threw over 1,000 punches.

This is not characteristic of Taylor, though she isn’t a low-output fighter either. Taylor throws fewer punches than Serrano, yet her precision balances out the difference. In their first fight, Serrano threw 624 punches, landing 173 with an accuracy of 27.7%. Taylor threw almost half as many—375 punches—but connected 147 times, achieving a higher accuracy rate of 39.2%.

Breaking down their punch stats from the first fight:

- Jabs: Taylor threw 61, landing 1; Serrano threw 150, landing 2.

- Power Punches: Taylor threw 314, landing 146; Serrano threw 474, landing 171.

Both fighters pushed each other relentlessly in every round.

Activity in the Ring

Since signing with Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano has stayed active, fighting once in 2024 and scoring a stoppage win. She fought three times in 2023, continuing to step into the ring after her loss to Taylor in their first encounter.

Katie Taylor, in contrast, has fought less frequently: once in 2022 after facing Serrano, and twice in 2023. This may not be a disadvantage for Taylor, however. She’s had time to rest and should be well-prepared for a full fight. Additionally, she faced Chantelle Cameron twice—losing initially but securing a rematch victory. This period of recovery could actually play to Katie’s advantage, allowing her to approach this rematch refreshed and ready to go the distance.

Power Advantage

Serrano clearly has the upper hand in terms of power. Amanda knows how to land with authority and finish her opponents, as demonstrated by her knockout rate, which is nearly three times higher than Taylor’s.

Durability

Both fighters have proven they can withstand significant power. In their first encounter, each took and absorbed multiple power punches without giving in, and both showed resilience until the end. Though age can eventually impact durability, both appear equally tough at this stage.

Venue for the Fight

Puerto Rican fans are sure to turn out in support of their star athlete, Serrano. But will this create a notable advantage? Likely not. The first fight also took place in the U.S., where Taylor edged out the win despite the crowd. Both seasoned professionals are unlikely to be swayed by the crowd around the ring.

Mental Game and Recent Success

Serrano has looked strong recently, racking up wins and stoppages. However, she hasn’t faced an opponent quite like Taylor. Meanwhile, Taylor has experienced a loss but only to an undefeated, younger, and larger opponent in Chantelle Cameron—and she avenged that loss.

In this rematch against Serrano, Katie holds the reach advantage and remains a sharp counter-puncher. It promises to be a tough fight for both, where minor mistakes could lead to a final defeat.
