The Puerto Rican boxer posted a photo on her personal account showing the grotesque cut on her face. Amanda Serrano lost by unanimous decision
Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor gave an exhibition of good boxing this Friday, November 15 at AT&T Stadium. The Irish boxer retained her undisputed title as super lightweight world champion. But Amanda Serrano, who ended up with a big cut on her eyebrow, deserved more.
The Puerto Rican was the one who proposed action throughout the fight. Katie Taylor also proposed, but in the middle of her attacks she rammed Serrano with her head. This action was constantly repeated and caused the Puerto Rican a very deep wound near the eyebrow.
However, Serrano’s grit and adrenaline made her stay in the ring. This decision was made by the Latin fighter herself. This made Taylor decide to constantly attack Serrano’s affected area.
“Every time you have a cut, it affects you. You get blood in your eye, it hurts, she kept headbutting me, but we already knew that from the first fight,” said Amanda Serrano regarding her cut.
Katie Taylor brought her head several more times over Amanda Serrano’s bloodied face. The Irishwoman was so insistent that in the eighth round she was penalized by the judge who subtracted a point from her score.
After the fight, through social networks, Amanda Serrano published a picture showing her huge cut near her eye. But this was not enough to placate the Puerto Rican fighter’s temper.
Despite the inconvenience with her cut, Amanda Serrano looked like a clear dominator of the fight. The minus point corroborated the perception of analysts and several users on social networks. But the three judges gave the victory to Taylor 95-94.
“That’s what they do, not only with me, he did it also with Chantelle Cameron. Listen, I’m Boricua. I will die in this ring, no matter how many cuts I have on my face,” Serrano said after the bout.
Putting aside the controversial judges’ decision, the Amanda Serrano-Katie Taylor duel did not disappoint once again. It was the best fight of a night in which Jake Paul defeated an age-stricken Mike Tyson.
