Daniel Cutts, ringside at MSG
Amanda Serrano makes her way to the ring to a huge pop.
Almost took the roof off MSG.
Louder than when the Hardy Boyz returned at WrestleMania in all honesty.
She has the slight edge on the crowd support.
You can’t discount the Irish for noise though. They’re more than holding their own!

The national anthems went down a STORM at MSG.
Two sets of fans belting them out at the top of their voices.
The excitement is off the charts, the lights have gone out.
Now the sound has gone up. HERE WE GOOOOO!
You betcha
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have agreed to a huge $1MILLION bet for Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano’s trilogy fight.
Kate expectations
Katie Taylor helped inspire a generation of female fighters – but her own boxing career only started by pure chance.
It was only when Taylor’s running training got rained off did she take the chance to wander down to her local St Fergal’s Boxing Club and try it out for herself.
By the time her dad found out, Taylor was already in the ring sparring with the boys in the gym.
Taylor looks back with a wide smile and tells SunSport: “I couldn’t wait to spar, I already had the headgear on.
“I just remember going to the gym and my dad looked around and I was already sparring.
“I always knew how to throw a punch, maybe it was just after years of watching my dad shadow boxing helped but obviously much coaching was needed as well.
“I always had good raw material there and I just couldn’t wait to get in there and fight.
“I think it was always part of who I am, it’s in my blood to be a fighter.”

It’s the loudest I can remember at a boxing event in recent memory at ringside.
The Irish and Puerto Rico fans have come out in force to support their heroes.
Flags are waving all around us, chants are going up, and the beers are flowing.
This place is about to go nuclear and set New York City on fire.
Let the fireworks commence!
From Israel Salas-Rodriguez inside Madison Square Garden
As the co-main event draws to a close, the anticipation for the Serrano and Taylor clash is palpable.
Fans spread across the Garden can be seen donning the flags from both fighters’ respective countries.
But a sea of Puerto Ricans draped in red, white, and blue flags overshadow those of the orange and green from the Irish.
If fans can expect anything from the main event, it will be an all-out slugfest between two fighters that have shared the ring for 20 rounds in two instant classic bouts.
Taylor will seek to make it 3-0 against the talented Serrano, who herself is seeking to score a victory over the Olympic Gold Medalist.
