Taylor outpoints Serrano in tactical trilogy finale
MSG hosts historic all-women’s card for trilogy bout
Katie Taylor outboxed Amanda Serrano over 10 tense, tactical rounds on Friday night to win a majority decision and retain her undisputed junior welterweight title, sealing a 3-0 sweep in one of the most significant rivalries in women’s boxing history.
Two judges scored it 97–93 for Taylor, while a third had it level at 95–95 – a fair reflection of a fight that lacked the all-out fury of their first two meetings but showcased Taylor’s footwork, precision and ring IQ. (The Guardian had it 97-93 for Taylor.)
