The WAAR Room: Taylor-Serrano 2 Classic, and Paul-Tyson Disgrace 

 

On this edition of The WAAR Room, Chris Baldwin, Malissa Smith, and Eddie Goldman discussed the classic rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, and the circus charade between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. Both were held Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and shown live worldwide on Netflix.

In their fight, Taylor retained her 140-pound titles by a unanimous but controversial decision. We analyzed the fight, discussed the judges' decision, explored the impact this has on women's boxing and the continuing lack of opportunities for women fighters, and more.

The disgraceful fight between YouTuber Paul and the 58-year-old Tyson looked more like an exhibition rather than a real, competitive contest. We discussed why such a ridiculous fight gained so much mainstream attention, how the failure of promoters and networks to run boxing properly opened the door for such carnival spectacles, and more.

We also ended by explaining why we are moving much of our social media activity to Bluesky.
