Taylor v Serrano 2 - who won each round of undisputed title fight?
- Published
Katie Taylor defeated Amanda Serrano by the slimmest of margins to retain her light-welterweight undisputed title on Friday in Texas.
The rematch went the whole 10 rounds, as both women delivered another all-time classic to somehow outshine their original match-up in 2022.
Taylor got the nod from all three judges, who each scored it 95-94 for the Irishwoman.
Serrano and her team were very unhappy with the result, as a point deduction for Taylor in the eighth round did not swing the contest for the Puerto Rican.
The three judges at ringside were Canadian Jeremy Hayes and Americans Nathan Palmer and Jesse Reyes.
On social media, world champions Claressa Shields, Terence Crawford and Shakur Stevenson all thought Taylor was a narrow winner, but at ringside the crowd and commentary team were in Serrano's corner.
Serrano described the scorecards as "shady" while Taylor brushed off the boos that rung out as she made her post-fight speech.
The judges did not see the fight entirely the same way, with only four of the 10 rounds unanimously scored.
