As per expectations, the fight turned out to be a memorable one. The pair delivered a historical showdown. Certainly, the outcome has disappointed ‘The Real Deal’. In the 5th round, the Puerto Rican was close to having finished the Irish in the ring’s corner.
But all praise to the ultimate champion Taylor for making an incredible comeback. She showcased the heart of a warrior after getting pushed on the verge of defeat.
The pair threw the punches with bad intentions. Till the final round, Serrano was wet with blood. She had a deep cut under her right eye, whereas Taylor sustained a bleeding nose. Overall, it was a praiseworthy performance from both pugilists.
