Unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano was narrowly defeated on Frirday by undisputed light welterweight champion Katie Taylor 95-94 in a controversial decision that was met with outrage on social media.<\/p>\n

After the fight, Serrano could only laugh about the puzzling decision in a post onto her account on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n

“I landed 107 more punches, she got a point deducted and I lost 95-94 lmfao,” Serrano\u00a0wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Serrano was the busier fighter through the first couple rounds, but Taylor managed to steady herself and the two boxers locked heads\u2014literally\u2014multiple times throughout the fight, which opened up a nasty-looking gash on Serrano’s head, and resulted in a point deduction for the Irishwoman.<\/p>\n

Serrano threw 724 punches, landing 329 of them compared to Taylor, who landed 217 of 529.<\/p>\n

After the fight, Serrano took exception to Taylor’s tactics.<\/p>\n

“She kept headbutting me,” Serrano said. “We knew from the first fight it’s what she does. Not only my fight, she did it with Chantelle Cameron. She uses her head.”<\/p>\n

Serrano, who moved up three weight classes to fight Taylor, also said she knew the result of the fight was going to be “a little shady.”<\/p>\n

But in another post onto X, Serrano admitted that she shouldn’t have accused Taylor of an intentional headbutt.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to @KatieTaylor in her decision win. Tempers are flared when you\u2019re in the heat of battle & you say things you shouldn\u2019t say,” Serrano wrote. “I\u2019m not one to ever disrespect an opponent & these were never my intentions to Katie.”<\/p>\n

“She & I are cool outside the ring and the best dance partners in the ring. In no way should I ever had said she did it purposely, it\u2019s her style that makes for them.”<\/p>\n

Serrano was defeated by Taylor in a split decision in April of 2022.<\/p>\n

After the fight,\u00a0Jake Paul<\/a>\u00a0lobbied for a trilogy match between the two, something Serrano seemed to be in favor of.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m with it,” She wrote.<\/p>\n
