Katie Taylor outboxed Amanda Serrano over 10 tense, tactical rounds on Friday night to win a close but uncontroversial majority decision and retain her undisputed junior welterweight title, sealing a three-fight sweep in one of the most significant trilogies in women’s boxing history.
Two ringside judges scored it 97–93 for Taylor while a third had it level at 95–95, a fair reflection of a contest that lacked the savage tempo and breathless intensity of their first two meetings but showcased Taylor’s balletic footwork, precision and ring intelligence. (The Guardian had it 97–93 for Taylor.)
