Today, in the women's boxing tournament at Madison's Garden Square in New York, 35-year-old Irish idol London Olympic boxing champion/quadruple champion Katie Taylor overcame the adversity of almost being KO in the match to defeat the 33-year-old "Female Pacquiao" seven-level world champion Amanda Serano in a divisive judgment to successfully defend the title of four gold belts, successfully becoming the first person in today's women's boxing world.
After the start of the game, Taylor (21-0, 6 KOs) attacked with a strong rhythm, and in the first few rounds, he insisted on implementing the mobile strategy and constantly countered the more aggressive Serrano (42-2-1, 30 KOs), however, Serrano's high-frequency suppressive attack made Taylor a bit overwhelmed, and he frequently hit Taylor with heavy punches.
The game entered the fifth round, Taylor's head and body accumulated dozens of heavy blows, it seemed that Taylor was on the verge of being knocked down, although the beating was shaky nosebleeds, but she kept gritting her teeth and persevering.
Maybe Serrano had consumed too much energy by letting go of her all-out attack in that round, and at the beginning of the sixth round, her offensive rhythm and strike strength declined, and Taylor began to organize an effective counterattack. Taylor has since stopped fighting Serrano, but has returned to the rhythm of footwork movement, which allowed her to control the second half of the game.
Especially in the last minute of the tenth round, the two impressed the boxing fans, and they engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat at the last minute in a short encounter with all their strength, either winning the round or being knocked down by their opponents. In the end, two referees decided that Taylor was 97-93 and 96-93. One was a 96-94 to Serrano.
"I kept telling myself to persevere until the end, the opponent is an extraordinary fighter." Taylor said. Serrano said; "Of course I thought I had won, I hit her with a heavier fist and I knocked her down almost in one turn. But you know, that's the way things are. I'm glad we finally ended it all. ”
The two were interviewed together in the ring after the game. Taylor was asked if he would like a replay. She looked straight at Serrano, smiled, and said, "Let's do it again, Serrano."
