The rematch is officially on between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano for Dublin on 20 May. An announcement could only come after 10 brutal and bloody rounds on Saturday night in the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, the packed venue below the main arena here in the ancient fight city. The sloped venue was heaving with noise and devotion for Serrano, who was raised across the bridge in Brooklyn.
In the ring, Serrano added the WBA featherweight title to the IBF, WBC and WBO belts already in her possession; the win cleared the way for the rematch of last April’s fight. Taylor was ringside to witness the slugfest.
