The Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 Card Is Actually Stacked (And I'm Here for It)

By Lewis Barnett 8 July, 2025 6 mins read 209 Views

Look, I get it. Everyone's talking about Taylor-Serrano 3 like it's the only fight that matters on February 20th.

And honestly? After watching Taylor get absolutely rocked in that fifth round back in 2022 (I literally jumped off my couch), then seeing all the drama from their second fight where half the crowd was booing... yeah, this trilogy is going to be something special. But here's the thing everyone's missing: this undercard is absolutely loaded with talent that deserves your attention.

My buddy texted me yesterday asking if it was worth staying up for the whole card. I told him he'd be crazy not to.

The Puerto Rican Hurricane Gets Her Third Shot

Amanda Serrano has been calling Taylor a "cheat" ever since that controversial second fight on the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson undercard. The AT&T Stadium crowd wasn't having any of it either - those boos were deafening. But you know what? That's exactly why this third fight is going to be electric.

Serrano's been training like a woman possessed (her Instagram stories are honestly intimidating), and Taylor knows she can't afford another performance like that Netflix disaster.

Why Alycia Baumgardner vs Jennifer Miranda Might Steal the Show

The co-main event features Baumgardner defending her WBO, WBC, and WBA super-featherweight titles against Miranda. Now, I'll be honest - I slept on Baumgardner for way too long until I saw her demolish Christina Linardatou last year.

Miranda's no joke either. She's been quietly building a resume that would make most fighters jealous.

This could easily end up being the fight of the night if Taylor-Serrano doesn't deliver (though let's be real, when do those two ever disappoint?).

Savannah Marshall: The British Bulldozer

Savannah Marshall against Shadasia Green for the IBF and WBO super-middleweight titles? Sign me up immediately.

Marshall's been sparring with Tommy Fury recently (weird flex but okay), and she's looking sharp as ever. Green's got that awkward southpaw style that gives everyone problems, but Marshall's power is just... different. When she connects, people go down. Period.

I'm predicting this one doesn't go the distance.

The Full Card Breakdown (Because Details Matter)

Here's everything you need to know about who's fighting:

Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano - Undisputed women's junior welterweight championship (the main event, obviously)

Alycia Baumgardner vs Jennifer Miranda - WBO, WBC & WBA super-featherweight titles

Savannah Marshall vs Shadasia Green - IBF & WBO super-middleweight titles

Ellie Scotney vs Yamileth Mercado - IBF, WBO & WBC super-bantamweight titles

Cherneka Johnson vs Shuretta Metcalf - IBF, WBC & WBO bantamweight world titles

Tamm Thibeault vs Mary Casamassa

Ramla Ali vs Lita Furtado

That's seven fights, five of them for world titles. When's the last time you saw a card this deep in women's boxing?

Netflix Is About to Make Bank (And So Are We)

The best part? This entire spectacle is streaming live on Netflix at no extra cost if you're already a subscriber.

If you're not subscribed yet, packages start at £5.99 ($7.99) per month. The premium membership runs £18.99 ($24.99), but honestly, the basic package works just fine for streaming fights.

I remember paying $80 for pay-per-view fights just a few years ago. Now we're getting world-class boxing included with our monthly Netflix bill? Technology is wild.

Clear your schedule for February 20th. This card is going to be special, and I have a feeling we're going to be talking about more than just Taylor-Serrano 3 when it's all over.

The time required to become a boxer professional can be very different. It depends on a person's ability, adaptability, and quality of training.
