The final note of an epic trilogy
Close rounds leave it up to the judgesSerrano echoes what she said after the second fight. She believes she won, but razor close rounds leave it up to the judges, and two judges gave it to the Bray native.
A historic trilogy from two legendary women, and Katie Taylor cemented her status as one of the best to do it, as Dont Stop Believing echoes around the Garden.
AND STILL!!!! KATIE TAYLOR BEATS AMANDA SERRANO BY MAJORITY DECISION IN MSG!95-95, 97-93, 97-93. Katie Taylor at 39 has defended her belts for possibly the final time. What a fight, what win, and what a hero.
She boxed very smart, working in and out of range, and clearly made adjustments. Another historic victory for one of Ireland’s greats.
A moment of respect between two warriors
Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano – Final RoundIT. IS. OVER!
Taylor’s lead hook lands on the cut brilliantly again and she has done enough to take the final round it seems. What a fight again, the judges will decide it again, but another epic chapter in this rivalry.
Less frantic, more technical. Not as eye-catching but very impressive. It’s nearly time for a decision in MSG…

Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano – Round SixThe Puerto Rican is looking to close the distance constantly, but Katie is a world class counter puncher and she is showing it here.
Serrano’s left eye area is very red and Taylor will look to target it as we head into the championship rounds.

Katie Taylor Amanda Serrano – Round fiveJust like the other two fights, the Irishwoman is growing into this fight. Her corner keeps saying to go to the body and she is listening.
We are halfway and I am have made the mistake of judging before.
Contention in the judges’ scoring Savannah Marshall after her defeat against Shadasia Green: “I’m taking nothing away from Shadasia, she was absolutely unbelievable tonight. I have never been hit like that before, ever.
“Even with the point off, you have given me two rounds. I have come over here, I have given you all three judges – how is that fair? I am not saying I won but even with the point off you have given me two rounds. All I wanted was a fair fight.”
