Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor are set to lock horns for one last time this Friday, July 11th, on Netflix.
Amanda Serrano has been unlucky not to secure a win in either of her blockbuster bouts with Katie Taylor, despite both fights being absolute wars and showing the very best of women’s boxing.
Their first encounter saw the pair headline Madison Square Garden in 2022 in a bout Taylor edged by a razor-close split decision.
The rematch came two years later, and saw the Irish fighter pick up a second close victory, despite Serrano accusing Taylor of fighting dirty.
Though Taylor picked up her first and only loss between these two fights when she faced Chantelle Cameron, Serrano had lost far earlier.

In just her fifth fight, Serrano faced 9-5 Ela Nunez, who pushed Serrano to a split decision draw.
After picking up three more victories, Serrano wanted to settle the score, and faced Nunez again.
She won by unanimous decision, but fought Nunez a third time in her very next fight, this time winning by TKO.
After what seemed like a conclusive end to the trilogy, Serrano fought four more times before finding herself opposite Nunez yet again in 2012.
Serrano won by unanimous decision, making her rivalry with Nunez 3-0-1.
Her next fight, though, would be a completely different story, as she stepped up to face 10-0 WBC super featherweight champion Frida Wallberg years before her wars with Taylor.
The fight was not one-sided, but after going 10 rounds, something Serrano had done only once in the first eight years of her career, Wallberg was the clear winner, handing the 14-0-1 Serrano her first defeat.

Serrano has long been an advocate of changing the rules of women’s boxing. As it stands, men will fight 12 rounds, each three minutes long, and women will fight 10 rounds, each two minutes long.
Two fights before she rematched Taylor, Serrano faced 12-2 Danila Ramos in a first-of-its-kind bout for women’s boxing, in which the pair fought 12 three-minute rounds.
Serrano won every single round, and has hopes that this will be the future of women’s boxing.
