The dynamic between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano has grown into a monumental clash within women’s boxing, marked by a pair of compelling encounters. They are scheduled for a third showdown, topping the bill at New York’s Madison Square Garden this Friday evening, where Taylor’s four titles at junior welterweight are up for grabs.
The initial two clashes involving Taylor and Serrano were filled with disputed moments. Taylor prevailed in their April 2022 match via a split decision, doing just enough to earn the victory more than Serrano, who nonetheless contributed to an exhilarating fight. Their second contest occurred this past November, with Taylor securing a unanimous decision. Serrano’s performance led some to believe she had done enough to secure the win.
Taylor was also involved in multiple clashes of heads during the second fight, resulting in not only a point being taken away but also visible cuts in the region around Serrano’s eyes.
In the same vein as their prior engagements, the upcoming contest will adhere to established protocols for women’s boxing, specifically limiting bouts to 10 rounds, each lasting two minutes.
