Ireland's Katie Taylor defeats Amanda Serrano narrowly on points to retain her light-welterweight title in Texas.
Ireland's Katie Taylor was booed as she successfully retained her undisputed light-welterweight title with a contentious points win against Amanda Serrano at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
"I definitely didn't agree with the point deduction. I certainly wasn't fighting dirty. Sometimes it gets rough in there. Taylor, in black with gold trim, was more understated in her ring walk but still soaking up the atmosphere as she sauntered down the runway without any real urgency. Promoter Eddie Hearn, who was not sure if he would be given a credential for the fight after criticising the Tyson-Paul, watched on at ringside.
Taylor was hurt by an uppercut in the seventh before replying with a two-punch combination. The fight was living up to all the hype, with Serrano's warrior spirit winning over those fans who may not have already been invested in the chief support.Just like they did at New York's Madison Square Garden, Taylor and Serrano continued to throw hands until the final seconds of round 10.
