Poetic tribute to Taylor vs. Serrano III

It will be a historic night at Madison Square Garden this Friday, July 11, when Most Valuable Promotions puts on an all-female card headlined by the trilogy bout between Katie Taylor and New York City’s Amanda Serrano. In honor of the women making history, I offer this poetic tribute. 
 
The ladies comin' to the Garden
The skills have been sharpened
I'm a father of two daughters
So of course I'm all in
Historic night of fights
I will tell them I saw it
Entire card of women fighters
For years, this brand of gladiator
They tried to limit fighters
Appreciate the skills
Exquisite fighters
No they're not timid fighters
Gotta give Jake Paul his props
He's getting the ladies paid 
Fight of the Night
On any card, that's often what the ladies make
So why can't a nice check the ladies take
MVP is payin' 'em instead of playin' 'em
Unlike others just baitin' them
You don't like the facts, don't be mad at me, I'm just statin' em. 
 
Taylor and Serrano, now a trilogy
Based on past history
It's gonna be a Thrilla, G
I need a selfie there
In other words, a still o' me
To prove I was in the house, on a legendary night
For some legendary fights
Some immaculate left hooks and some legendary rights 
Titles defended and titles changin’hands
Beyonce could call me up, I aint changin' plans.
 
Years ago, boxing made a fan
God made this man 
And God gave me young women
So I guess fate was planned.
 
So it's my duty to return to the Garden 
Oh, you're not going? I beg your pardon
Cause there aint no male champs? 
You about to be sent away, I'll get you some mail stamps
For your male stance
You blind to the women, I call that your braille stance
Well I'll be there, admiring the thunder, lightning and hail hands.
