Amanda Serrano, unfortunately, lost the fight via unanimous decision. All three judges scored the bout 95-94 in favor of Katie Taylor.

Speaking in her post-fight interview, Serrano admitted that the cut and the blood that got in her eye really affected her performance. It's worth noting that Serrano still landed more punches (324 out of 734 thrown) compared to Taylor (217 out of 529 thrown).

“Whenever you get a cut, it bothers you. Blood gets in your eye, and it hurts,” the 36-year-old boxer shared.

While Serrano lost, she still got the respect and admiration of fans, as she showcased her resilience and never-say-die attitude amid adversity.
