Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 lived up to the hype, and then some, as two of the greatest female boxers in history went to war over ten rounds on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson.

Both fighters began the bout at full throttle, wasting no time in trying to assert their dominance. The pair landed threw and landed punches at an incredible rate, with the Puerto Rican nearly finishing Taylor in at the end of Round 1 after landing a massive overhand left.

But the light welterweight champion rallied back, and despite having a point deducted late in the fight due to excessive headbutts, 'KT' retained her world titles, albeit controversially.

Following the unanimous decision result, current and former fighters flooded the internet with their opinions on the judges' scorecards.
