We have arrived at fight day at Madison Square Garden, live on Netflix, for one of the biggest rivalries in the history of boxing.
On Thursday afternoon in NYC, undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs) and unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs) stepped on the scale and came within the contracted weight of 136 pounds. All that is left is for these two fighters to make history on Netflix in front of what appears to be a near sellout at Madison Square Garden. Serrano is the slight betting favorite heading into fight night, but this is as close to a 50/50 fight as it gets. Will Taylor put the final stamp on this rivalry, or will Serrano finally have her hand raised in victory?

Alycia Baumgardner (130) vs. Jennifer Miranda (129.4) for the undisputed super featherweight championship
