Katie Taylor retains titles by unanimous decision in a controversial fight against Amanda Serrano, with judges scoring 95-94 in Taylor’s favor. Serrano expressed frustration over what she believed were intentional headbutts from Taylor throughout the fight. Despite the controversy, Taylor ultimately emerged as the victor.
The undercard featured other notable fights, including Mario Barrios retaining his WBC welterweight title by a split draw with Abel Ramos. Additionally, the much-anticipated match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul drew attention, with concerns raised over the significant age gap between the two fighters.
The event, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, shattered the record for the largest US boxing gate outside of Las Vegas, with a live gate surpassing $17.8 million. Despite criticisms of the Tyson vs. Paul fight, the event garnered significant interest and was broadcast globally on Netflix.
The night also featured other fights, such as Neeraj Goyat’s victory over Whindersson Nunes and Shadasia Green winning the WBO women’s super middleweight championship. The atmosphere at the stadium was highlighted by celebrity appearances and a record-breaking crowd turnout, making it a memorable and historic night in boxing.
