Katie Taylor won a controversial decision over Amanda Serrano on Friday night. Taylor won a unanimous decision 95-94 win over Serrano on the Netflix special Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Taylor has won both of the fights with Serrano. The Puerto Rico native has just three losses in her career.
The Ireland native — who now calls Connecticut home — remains the undisputed 140 champion. Serrano moved up three weight classes for this right.
Both women were throwing haymakers and going back and forth. Before the fifth round, Serrano suffered a gash to her eye.
Despite the cut, Serrano was able to keep going and finish the fight. Taylor reportedly gave Serrano four head butts, according to the referee.
In the eighth round, Taylor had a point dedication for a head butt after countless warnings.
This was an epic war between the two ladies, who put women boxing in the spotlight.
Taylor improved to 24-1 in her career. She had won her last two fights, including a revenge fight win over Chantelle Cameron after suffering her first loss to Cameron.
Serrano fell to 47-3-1 in her career.
