Katie Taylor secured a second victory over Amanda Serrano on Friday, dealing her rival a gruesome cut en route to a points win.
Taylor narrowly defeated Serrano via decision in 2022, retaining the undisputed lightweight titles, while the Irishwoman’s super-lightweight belts were on the line in this rematch.
And Taylor, 38, again edged past the Puerto Rican, 36, much to the disdain of the crowd at Dallas’s AT&T Stadium – where the fight played out before Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
After being warned for leading with her head, Taylor was docked a point midway through the contest, but she was still able to achieve three scorecards of 95-94. Serrano, who is the unified featherweight champion, was not defending her titles in Friday’s rematch.
