Puerto Rican Amanda Serrano put her heart, soul, and soul into her attempt to break the dominance of Irish Katie Taylor in two previous fights, but unfortunately her effort was not echoed and she ended up giving up her third consecutive defeat by majority decision at Madison Square Garden Garden.

In this way, Taylor retained the super lightweight division titles by winning with two scorecards in favor of 97-93, which had nothing to do with what happened in the ring and a 95-95 draw, a reflection of reality to win the trilogy over the combative Puerto Rican boxer.

In the two previous fights, the European boxer's victories were by split decision in 2022 and in November 2024 by unanimous decision, just as in tonight's, where the judges' score again favored her.

Without a doubt a futile effort by Serrano, because despite the fact that she was the one who brought the courage and stamina to the ring at a Madison Square Garden with a spectacular atmosphere in a historic evening of women's boxing with four world title fights and where the Latin American boxer's third attempt to beat Taylor was the main event and unfortunately did not have the impact desired.

In the end, the Irishwoman's strategy prevailed again in the same way as it had in the two previous fights they held. The first one in 2022 ended in a split decision and the second in November 2024, where again the Irishwoman won by way of the judges, but now unanimously.

It should be noted that after the 2022 victory, Taylor did not step into the ring again until the rematch for Serrano, where her tactics worked perfectly for her as in tonight's evening on New York soil, where the two large communities of Irish and Puerto Ricans added a touch of spectacularity to the boxing evening in this mythical setting.

The fight

During the development of the fight, Both boxers maintained excessive respect in the first minutes of the fight, measuring forces and doing a lot of shadow boxing, until in the third round finally an exchange was generated at short distance, but without a clear advantage for either of them.

On Taylor's side, despite her 39 years, she began to try to impose her 1-2, but Amanda Serrano responded strongly and that made the fight improve a little, especially because the Puerto Rican in the sixth round achieved her best blow by landing a left straight to the chin of the Irishwoman where the judges' cards moved in her favor.

Much ado, but little nuts

Things did not improve from the seventh to the tenth round, because although Serrano needed to connect to the body of her opponent, the pressure she imposed was not enough to generate excitement in the fight and even Taylor was the most active in that round, forcing Serrano in the eighth to respond with two good impacts with her straight.

There Amanda looked to take the thread of the fight, but the skill and elusiveness of her opponent continued to be pure poison for her attempts combined with a good defense that made that in the ninth and tenth rounds her options of being able to achieve victory by way of chloroform were extinguished.

The rest of the evening

In the rest of the historic evening for women's boxing, the American Alycia Baumgardner consolidated her dominance as the holder of all the titles in the super featherweight division by defeating the Spanish Jennifer Miranda by unanimous decision, who put up a warrior's resistance and had to force the American to bring out the best of her repertoire to obtain the victory.

In the qualifications, Baumgardner monopolized the majority of rounds and that is how the judges marked it with the cards of 98-92, 98-92, 97-93 over the Hispanic boxer who left the undefeated in the ring of one of the most iconic boxing venues in the world.

In the rest of the boxing card organized by the companies Netflix and MVP, the British Ellie Scotney defeated the Mexican Yamileth Mercado stripping her of the monarch belt of the super bantamweight division of the World Boxing Council (WBC),

In this fight, Scotney showed great superiority from the first round against an opponent with no reaction and few arguments to try to change the story of the cards that were in favor of Scotney by 100-90, 98-92, 98-92.

While the North American Shadasia Green defeated the British Savannah Marshall to take away the IBF super middleweight title where the winner was improving as the fight progressed until she ended up beating Marshall with cards of 94-94, 96-93, 93-96.
