Super Lightweight Championship: Katie Taylor Beats Amanda Serrano For Third Time At Madison Square Garden

After Katie Taylor had defeated her for the third time to remain the undisputed 140-pound champion, Amanda Serrano was in tears. Not because of the sadness over her loss, but because of the appreciation for where women’s boxing has gone since the two champions started their trilogy three years ago. Taylor won by scores of 97-93 Friday night on two judges’ cards, while the third had it even at 95-95, for a majority decision. It was the third straight narrow finish between the two, after Taylor won a split decision in their first bout and a narrow unanimous decision in the rematch.
