Amanda Serrano suffered a severe cut over her right eyebrow and controversially lost to Katie Taylor in their rematch, despite landing more punches, with many believing she deserved the win and hinting at a potential trilogy fight.
Amanda Serrano’s face tells a story of battle, with a gaping wound over her right eyebrow. She’ll likely need stitches and maybe even a skilled plastic surgeon after her epic showdown with Katie Taylor on Friday night. Ouch, right?
But let’s be real, the physical pain might pale in comparison to the sting of losing a controversial decision to Taylor. Despite landing more punches, Serrano found herself on the losing end once again. This marks the second time she’s felt she deserved the win against Taylor.
After the fight, Serrano shared a close-up photo of her eyebrow cut. It’s quite a sight! In their rematch, Serrano came out swinging, but things took a turn when an accidental clash of heads opened up that nasty cut. Replays confirmed it was Taylor’s head, not her fists, that caused the damage.
The referee had his hands full as Taylor was repeatedly warned for headbutts. Eventually, he deducted a point for these infractions late in the fight. Serrano, despite taking the loss gracefully, suggested Taylor’s actions were intentional. “I think 100 percent [it was on purpose],” she stated. “Because she does it every fight.”
The cut undoubtedly impacted Serrano’s performance, causing her to favor that side during crucial exchanges. Many spectators believed Serrano deserved the win, adding another layer of frustration to her 0-2 record against Taylor.
Yet, hope remains! With both fighters seemingly open to a trilogy bout, perhaps Serrano will get another chance to set things right in the ring. Stay tuned!
