Katie Taylor beats Amanda Serrano by majority decision for the third time

This is likely the last dance between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

Victorious Taylor said: ‘I just want to thank Amanda Serrano as well, what an amazing fighter, we’ve made history here.

‘I thought I boxed very smart, very well. She wasn’t catching me with much.

‘It was obviously very, very close. Just thank God my hand was raised. I planned to come in here and be disciplined and smart.

‘I executed the game plan very well. Total respect for Amanda, what a warrior. I love you all, I love my country. Thank you so much.’

Taylor and Serrano have now shared 30 incredible rounds and it’s fair to say that women’s boxing has been changed for the better thanks to these two boxers.

One judge scored it a 95-95 draw, but the final two scorecards read 97-93 and 97-93 for Taylor.

It is a hat-trick of victories for the Irish fighter over Amanda Serrano and is likely to be the closing the chapter of this iconic rivalry.
