    Couldn't have argued with a draw but how Taylor survived that 5th round I'll never know

    Thought it was easy to score the.

    People putting too much emphasis on the 5th round.

    Rd 1-3: Taylor
    Rd 4-6 Serrano (6th was close, people were still creaming over Serrano in Round 5th in the general)
    Rd 7-9: Taylor
    Rd 10: Draw (I gave it Taylor).

    Just to add, don't see how Serrano won it, she was ineffective for the majority of the fight, got hit by the cleaner sharper punches.

    To add, Taylor lost to Persoon but she didn't lose this one.

    Serrano was like a lanky Chisora from round 7 I thought, plodding along giving it her all.

    Taylor nicked it. All of her fights with anyone decent always go razor thin and is top draw so good on her, entertainment-wise.

    I noticed Taylor bounces very Amateurish style for the first 3 rounds.

    She was a lot more settled after the 6th, not sure why she wastes so much energy.

    Probably the most technically proficient women's fighter but she has Amir Khans ring IQ, with Carl Froch levels of toughness - dangerous mix!

    I couldn't believe what I was seeing when she wasn't moving her feet, stood there like a rock.

    Don't know if anyone's watching Shakur fight but he'd of made Warrington look silly if they had fought.

    Recommend watching Stevenson vs Valdez when it's up.

    As dominant schooling you will see against a very good world champion.

    Shakur is going to be exceptionally hard to beat until 140 imo.

    Not a fan of woman’s boxing and I’m usually vocal about it but what a fight!

    Taylor in particular I usually find boring to watch but she was brilliant last night. What a warrior, what a recovery. Never a robbery, a very close fight that could’ve went either way. 95-95 for me.

    It was close, I had taylor by a round .

    Taylor is 35 now she's on the decline it wasn't the best taylor in there. Hope she retires soon because she's starting to look beatable.

    Well done Katie Taylor and hopefully a rematch at a packed Croke Park on DAZN UK Box Office then retire as an eternal Irish great.

    She is powder puff but very good boxing skills and unlike Tony Dosh PPV, she digs in and shows a pair when the going gets tough.

    And still .........

    Bring her home to Croke Park Eddie. Unbelievable fight. If only every women's fight was like that.

    Just watched it.

    Cracking fight and every credit to both girls.

    I smell a re-match and why not?, this fight justified its hype.

    Great performance and he still has room to improve. Going to take a special fighter to beat him.

    I think it could've been a draw but if it was a draw, Katie keeps the belts so no real controversy.

    It was a brilliant fight and Katie proves she's not just the most skilful women's boxer in the world but one of the toughest too.

    The good news is Katie is as game as they come and will rematch no problem, as she did Persoon.

    Very impressive to get such a great crowd in MSG. I like Katie as I'm Irish and dislike Hearn but credit to both for whay they did last night.
