Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor
Katie Taylor secured her undisputed super lightweight title after a heated 10-round fight against Amanda Serrano. The desert was announced in favor of Taylor, and the judges gave the following scores: 95:94, but there were several voices on the side of Derry and among enthusiasts.
The early going proved to be difficult for Taylor as Serrano’s powerful punches caught him off guard in rounds one and two. Serrano seemed to connect with more powerful punches, and Taylor depended on combinations and counters. A head clash during the fourth round left a deep cut above Serrano’s right eye, and that hampered her movements greatly.
In the eighth round, Taylor got a point deduction for another headbutt, but he was able to perform his life in the final rounds. It can now be facetiously said that she won and will always remain the queen of female boxing.
Key Quotes from the Fighters
After the fight, Taylor reflected on her win, saying:
There are limited opportunities to assault and attack, to say the least. I want to say more about Amanda no matter if she is a bad champion, she will always be a good friend. The crowd might not agree, but most importantly, it is now up to the judges’ votes only.
Serrano, still holding her head high, remarked:
I go toe to toe with the best, and there is no way I am going to quit. For this fight, I came up with three weight classes. He said headbutts pain but then reiterated that he is a fighter and will always continue fighting.
