We put on a performance again for everybody, and just thank God for another amazing night.
"We trained so hard for those moments. Anybody's punch can change a fight in boxing and she's a hard puncher. She's a very tough warrior and I was prepared for that. I don't care if the commentary team or the crowd disagree.""I definitely didn't agree with the point deduction. I certainly wasn't fighting dirty. Sometimes it gets rough in there."Serrano said: "I knew it was going to be a little shady but listen, I came here, I chose to be great.
"I went up three divisions. I lost. I dared to be great tonight, and I went up three divisions. I'm the featherweight champion of the world, and I want to be great."
