Yeah I def thought about that even as I typed it. Ultimately they are prize fighters so the money talks and Amanda can't make near what she'll make in a rematch fighting anyone else, but who knows if Katie was really serious about a rematch, I wouldn't be surprised if she upped and retired herself, she taken alot of punishment and is 35 years old it doesn't get better from this point.

But if they insist like I said the only one I see improving in a rematch is Taylor like when she avenged her 1st lost lol. She tasted the power of Serrano now and knows what adjustments to make, she is the bigger woman after all. Great as Serrano is although I thought she won the fight she still kind of a 1 trick pony..

Taylor lost again call it for what it is she’s overrated lost twice already

Serrano won this. Taylor deserved a draw at best. A shame to see her moment of glory snatched away like this.

By Jake Donovan - NEW YORK - Katie Taylor once again prevailed in a hellacious test at the highest level. The two-division and defending undisputed lightweight champion turned away a determined Amanda Serrano to earn a split decision victory in a pound-for-pound showdown that lived up to exceedingly high expectations. Judge Benoit Russell (96-94) had Serrano ahead, overruled by judges Glenn Feldman (97-93) and

Paul? WTF does his opinion matter his commentary throughout the event showed he knows very little, just kept using childish puns the whole time, guy is rich and good marketer but knows nothing about boxing.

HEY, that guy's been like a brother to me, you leave him out of this.

Besides, careful what you say. Didn't you see what he did to that basketballer? (lol)

**** the media they wanted Katie to win which in reality she lost last night boxing is crooked they love to Katie fights that she loses stop giving Katie these fake wins Amanda got done dirty by the system

I actually had it a draw and if you score rd 5 10-8 then I had Amanda winning by 1 pt. Most of media in press row had it 96-94 Katie. I was in the minority even having it a draw.

Katie Taylor is as fake as Josh Taylor, two frauds. Katie is arguably worse, although she lost to Delfine Persoon twice and Amanda Serrano, at least she gives rematches.

Before you ever bet on a fight. Always notice who's promoting the fight. The bottom line is Serrano got robbed. Ring generalship, aggression, and much harder punching all belonged to Serrano. Serrano had Taylor out on her feet in round # 5. Some might say one could call that a 10-8 round. Serrano won the 1st 3 rounds easily. Those rounds weren't even close. I will admit that Serrano took her foot off the gas in rounds 7-8 & 9. Those rounds she lost. But, lose the fight? Never in a million years. The commentators were shilling every punch Taylor threw from Rd.1 on. That's why the Arums, Kings & the like tell the judges that they will never work another fight that they are promoting if they don't score the fight for the boxer they are promoting. End of story.

The way I saw this fight was Taylor won first 3 and last 4. Serrano busted up Taylor in the middle 3 rounds but gassed out and once Taylor had her legs back she was back to countering accurately and moving away.

If you're ever going to give a 10-8 round for dominating the other fighter, it would be the 5th in a fight like this. Taylor looked like a new born giraffe until the bell saved her (here in the UK the refs would probably stopped the fight to be honest).

Overall, I saw it 96-93.
