It’s going to be a sellout and I’m very, very grateful that it didn’t happen a couple of years ago.

Serrano is moving forward and pressuring from the jump but Taylor is fighting well off the back foot, landing one right hand than another upstairs while moving backwards. The sight of Taylor prompted rollicking cheers from the stands, but there was an even bigger swell of noise for Serrano, who it seems will enjoy a marginal edge in crowd support. A sumilar pattern to the first round with Serrano in hot pursuit and Taylor boxing off the back foot, looking to catch her opponent with counters and get out of harm’s way.
