In a historic duel with flashing fists to decide the best female fighter in the world, Taylor emerged victorious with a split decision to retain all the lightweight titles and The Ring Magazine.
It is possible that there will be a rematch in Ireland after the verdict of the split decision, and also due to the nature of an exciting match in which none of the protagonists – the undefeated Taylor or the seven-time champion Serrano – took a step back.
Indeed, in the final two minutes, the entire crowd stood up as the two fighters threw up their hands in a rage that defied belief.
The competition delivered everything it had promised between the No. 1 and No. 2 women boxers on the planet.
“Absolutely. We have to do it again,” a triumphant Taylor said afterwards.
The judges, separated, scored 96-94 in favor of Serrano, with Taylor taking the victory based on the scores of the other two judges, 97-93 and 96-93.
