    The way she recovered from those huge shots and almost being out on her feet in round 5 to fight back to win the fight shows what a true warrior inside the ring she is. Then right after the fight she’s asked about the rematch and says “let’s do it again” without any hesitation. She defines what a true fighter is.

    Amanda Serrano deserves huge respect too and handled the loss like a true warrior herself. I had it 95-95. Let’s run it back

    When you're right, you're right. Everything you said is spot on.

    It will be interesting to see if this was her "one last great performance" or if this reignited her passion for fighting.

    When you've shared 10 x 2 minute rounds of blood, sweat and tears with a fellow lady pro like these two gals did with each other tonight in this seminal historic moment of the sport the mutual respect is always going to be there

    But when one of said lady pros just so happens to be a Jake ''Money'' Paul trained fighter that respect extends to a lifelong respect and friendship

    I honestly thought Katie was finished. I was baffled at her corner giving her full on instructions when she was looking dazed. Somehow she gained a second wind out of nowhere. Serrano took her foot of the gas in the second half of the fight and couldn’t get it back on it. Taylor won this fight through the accuracy of her shots, especially in the later rounds. Katie was like a Matador taming the bull. 96-94 for me

    Love both these ladies. Pure class. Our sport is far better with these 2 in it.

    I saw this fight with my dad. We both never watched a women's boxing match in its entirety before, but we were on the edge of our seats. Had it a draw 95/95, rematch is warranted but we'll see what happens. Those scorecards were a little wide for Taylor.

    Both deserve respect they put on a great fight and did women's boxing a great service. I was glad that I got to watch it. I hope a rematch happens one day.

    Just watched the fight. What an exceptional talent Amanda Serrano is, first time I have seen her fight and I was impressed at her speed and skill. Seems to have alot more boxing skill than alot of male boxers. Katie Taylor has my respect, she was getting fudged up in round 5 and came back solid. I hope women boxers coming up can aim to perform as great as these two, thoroughly enjoyed the fight and I was one of the people before this that only watched Ebanie Bridges weigh in’s for the boobies. But after yesterday, I want to see more womens boxing.
