This was the trilogy between two of the biggest female boxers to step into the ring. Taylor won the first match back on April 30, 2022, which also took place at the world’s most famous arena, in a shared decision.
The two squared again on November 15 last year as Co-Main event for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, and Taylor won in a controversial unanimous decision.
New York faithfully supported mostly Serrano when Madison Square Garden was filled with Puerto Rica flag – though Irish flags were spread everywhere.
Serrano’s entrance was a show with Knick’s City dancers and even some dancing self – Taylor was much more stoic. But the fans were crazy on both sides.

Round one was mild, with both warriors who seemed to get a sense of each other in the ring with some quick jabs and feet. Round two was more aggressive.
Serrano and Taylor shared hard blows in the third round and the match was officially on. But over the next couple of rounds, the match remained a little more muted than their two other bouts.
Taylor was able to land the largest of the battles from round 4-6, resulting in song from “Katie.” But Serrano won some momentum late in the sixth and got some good shots in the eighth and won back to the crowd. In Round 10, the beats quickly came from both warriors in any attempt to steal the victory late.

A referee scored the match a tie, but the other two gave it to Taylor, and she released an emphatic cry as the results were read – while all Serrano could do was smile.
Serrano was emotional in thanking the audience for supporting women’s boxing – she shouted Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, the co -founders of most valuable campaigns, to “change my life” and the other warriors on the card.
Taylor improved to 25-1 in his famous career, while Serrano is now 47-4-1 with three of these losses to Taylor.
