"Robbed and rigged," "Katie is just better" - Fans divided after Katie Taylor goes 3-0 against Amanda Serrano after winning trilogy fight

Katie Taylor closed the book on one of boxing’s great rivalries with a hard-fought win over Amanda Serrano in their trilogy bout at Madison Square Garden. The Irish star walked away with a majority decision and retained her undisputed super lightweight crown.

This was the third chapter between two of the greatest women's boxers in the history of the sport. The first half was a tactical battle, with Serrano applying pressure while Taylor used her footwork and jab to offset it. At the halfway point, Serrano had a slight edge on activity, but Taylor was never far behind.

As the rounds ticked by, Taylor began finding more success with counters and bursts of aggression. The final rounds were chaotic, with both fighters going toe-to-toe and forcing the judges into another difficult decision.

The scorecards reflected the fight’s competitiveness as one judge saw it a draw, but two gave Taylor a 97-93 nod. That was enough to give her the 3-0 sweep over Serrano and put a definitive conclusion to the rivalry.
