In the world of boxing, drama doesn’t just happen inside the ring—it spills out onto social media, too. This time, Dallas Wings’ star and Twitter aficionado Satou Sabally aimed her verbal jab squarely at boxing champ Amanda Serrano after her razor-thin loss to Katie Taylor.
While the judges declared Taylor the winner with a 95-94 score in Friday’s co-main event of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson spectacle (yes, that’s a real sentence in 2024), Sabally wasn’t holding back. The WNBA star went full keyboard warrior on X, formerly known as Twitter, slamming Serrano for ducking a previous fight with German boxer Nina Meinke.
“BOOO @Serranosisters didn’t want to fight against my girl Nina Meinke and now she’s cap on the big stage 🥱🥱🥱,” Sabally tweeted with the kind of nonchalance that suggests she’s sipping tea while hitting send.
Let’s rewind to March, where things first went south. Serrano and Meinke were set to square off, but just as fight night fever peaked, Serrano was deemed medically unfit due to an eye injury. Cue outrage. Fans, Meinke, and presumably Sabally, were left fuming as the Puerto Rican Boxing Commission made the call to cancel the fight.
“I’m absolutely gutted,” Meinke lamented back then, sounding like she just dropped her ice cream. “We all wanted this fight. Puerto Rico wanted this fight.”
Fast forward to last night, and Serrano found herself squaring up against Taylor instead. The fight delivered fireworks, but the unanimous decision left Serrano on the short end of the stick. As fans debated whether the judges had been taking scoring tips from their cat, Sabally saw her moment to strike.
Was it petty? Maybe. Did it entertain? Absolutely.
Free Agency Tea: Sabally and the Indiana Fever?
But wait, Sabally’s shade isn’t the only thing heating up. The WNBA’s reigning Most Improved Player is cooking up some free-agency drama of her own. With rumors swirling, the Indiana Fever seems to be at the front of the line, hoping to team her up with basketball’s next big thing, Caitlin Clark.
If this duo comes together, the Fever might just go from basement dwellers to WNBA royalty faster than you can say, “Trust the process.” Sabally’s been posting career-high numbers—18.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and enough swag to make even seasoned vets take notice.
So while Serrano and Sabally trade barbs, one thing is clear: both women are staying in the spotlight. Whether it’s boxing or basketball, there’s no shortage of drama—and honestly, who needs reality TV when sports Twitter exists?
