Taylor Seals Legendary Trilogy with Serrano in Tactical Masterclass
What a night at Madison Square Garden, and what a way to close the chapter on one of the greatest rivalries in women’s boxing history. Katie Taylor has done it again. In what many are calling a tactical masterpiece, she edged out Amanda Serrano over ten tense rounds to win by majority decision, securing a 3-0 sweep in their trilogy. This wasn’t just a win; it was a statement—one that cements Taylor’s legacy as arguably the greatest female boxer of all time.
Unlike the chaotic, high-octane battles of their first two encounters, this third clash was all about patience, precision, and ring IQ. Taylor showed exactly why she’s still at the top at age 39. Her footwork was razor-sharp, her counters were clinical, and she controlled the pace from start to finish. Serrano tried to box more methodically this time around, abandoning her usual pressure-heavy style, but it simply didn’t click. Taylor wasn’t there to trade blows—she was there to out-think and out-move.
You could feel the respect between them in the way they approached this fight. There were no wild exchanges, no reckless charges—just two elite fighters navigating the highest level of strategy and skill. Taylor’s ability to stay on the back foot, land combinations, and then disappear before Serrano could respond was brilliant. She wasn’t interested in a war; she wanted the win, and she fought smart to get it.

Judges scored it 97-93, 97-94, and 95-95. Even with a draw on one card, the message was clear—Katie Taylor was in control. She even said it herself after the fight: “I thought I was boxing very smart, very well, and she wasn’t catching me with much tonight.” And that’s exactly what we saw. She kept her composure, moved beautifully, and never let the moment overwhelm her.
And let's talk about the stage: Madison Square Garden, hosting its first-ever all-women’s card. History was made before the first punch was thrown. Seventeen title belts were on the line across the night, but it was Taylor and Serrano who stole the spotlight once again. Their trilogy will go down as one of the defining rivalries in the sport—not just women’s boxing, but boxing as a whole.
After the final bell, you could see Serrano hoping for a miracle as the scorecards were read. But she knew. Taylor knew too. For the third time, it was Katie’s hand raised. And with that, she closed the book on this iconic saga with grace, humility, and brilliance.
“Thank you, Jesus. I needed a lot of help, a lot of strength today,” Taylor said in the ring. “I just want to thank Amanda Serrano. What an amazing fighter. We made history together, three times.” That respect, that mutual greatness—they’ve elevated the game, and it’s been an honor to witness it.
3-0. Trilogy complete. Katie Taylor, the queen of the ring.
