Katie Taylor's recent victory over Amanda Serrano in their highly anticipated trilogy fight exemplifies her dominance in women's boxing. The bout, held at Madison Square Garden on July 12, 2025, featured Taylor defending her undisputed junior welterweight championship against Serrano, who was seen as a slight favorite . This match marked the third encounter between the two athletes, following Taylor's unanimous decision victory in their previous fight. Notably, the event was part of an all-women card that highlighted the increasing prominence of female athletes in professional sports.
The fight capped off a historic all-women's fight card in front of an energetic sold-out crowd of 19,721 fans at Madison Square Garden, with a 2.63 million gate that streamed live on Netflix. However, unlike their other two thrilling showdowns that were narrowly won by Taylor, this was a much more subdued affair with the Irishwoman using a check hook and flurries to take a more definitive decision with two scores of 97-93 and one judge seeing it even at 95-95.
Taylor and Serrano's previous two meetings were rousing encounters that Taylor won in disputed fashion but raised the profile of women's boxing overall. Their third meeting put a spotlight on women's boxing with 17 world titles contested across the fight card but didn't quite meet the extraordinarily high bar set by the first two fights.
With her win, Ireland's Taylor moved to 3-0 over Serrano to put a stamp on what is undoubtedly the greatest rivalry in women's boxing history. Ringside judges scored the bout 95-95, 97-93 and 97-94, with the latter two cards falling in Taylor's favor.
In that rematch, Serrano set a CompuBox record by landing 324 punches, the most in a 10-round women's fight.
Their first fight in April 2022 was also close, with Taylor edging Serrano by split decision (97-93, 96-93 and 94-96).
The fight itself showcased Taylor's skill and resilience as she successfully retained her title by edging out Serrano once again . Throughout the match, both fighters demonstrated remarkable athleticism and tactical acumen; however, Taylor's experience ultimately proved decisive. With this victory, she completed a clean sweep of their trilogy with a 3-0 record against Serrano. This outcome not only solidifies Taylor's legacy but also emphasizes the significance of women's boxing on major platforms.
