Katie Taylor defended her status as undisputed world light-welterweight champion with a unanimous decision victory over Amanda Serrano in Texas. Taylor got the better of her Puerto Rican opponent in their first clash in 2022, and history repeated itself at AT&T Stadium in Texas on Friday after the judges scored the bout 95-94 in her favour. Both fighters traded jabs to start the fight before Taylor landed a heavy counter-punch midway through the opening round.
After the bout received the OK to continue, the seventh round saw non-stop action as both women were rocked by heavy blows, but neither looked like giving an inch. Serrano connected with a series of vicious jabs early in the eighth before Taylor received a warning for leading with the head. Taylor responded by landing a series of blows of her own but was deducted a point after receiving further warnings from the referee.
