Katie Taylor quashes any doubts about rivalry with latest win over Amanda Serrano

No need for a fourth fight.

This matchup has turned into a mismatch.

Katie Taylor now firmly owns this one-sided rivalry.

Third time was not the charm for Amanda Serrano.

Taylor won by majority decision — with scores of 95-95, 97-93 and 97-93 — Friday night at Madison Square Garden to retain her undisputed super lightweight championship in the main event of a trailblazing all-women’s card.

“I just thank God my hand was raised,” Taylor said. “… I thought I did enough. I boxed smart and well and she wasn’t catching much tonight, but it is always a close contest. I have a huge amount of respect for Amanda. What a warrior.”

Serrano was adamant she was robbed by the judges after losing the first two fights of this trilogy.

Now she’s lost all three, and any arguments will fall on deaf ears.

Friday’s snoozefest bore almost no resemblance to their first two bouts, which were action-packed and all-out wars.

It’s hard to pick out a single moment when Friday reached the same intensity the first two fights possessed.

Rare flurries too often made way for large periods of inaction.

Both fighters were tentative and lacked the needed urgency to match what started as an electric atmosphere.

Puerto Rican and Irish flags littered the stands, though Serrano — who was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in New York City — owned a slim hometown crowd advantage over the Irish Taylor.

By the time the main event got underway, a raucous and sold-out MSG was packed to the brim for the second time in three years to watch two of the best female boxers ever.

But once the first bell rang, there was little reason for fans to raise their voices.

Serrano turned up the temperature in the third round by landing a few left hooks before Taylor (24-2) clinched and took the sting out of the round.

Serrano’s relentless offense — her trademark — was largely missing, with brief periods of effectiveness repeatedly stifled by Taylor’s defense.

Serrano (47-4-2) threw more punches, but Taylor landed the cleaner and more effective ones.

“We tried something different,” Serrano said. “It was all about working smarter, not harder. I tried to keep my distance because apparently [my plan] didn’t worth the first two fights. So we tried to stick with the long punches and it just wasn’t enough.

“Thank you to Katie Taylor for an incredible three fights. It’s been truly an honor. You’re a true champion, a true warrior.”

The two became the first females to headline a boxing match at MSG in 2022, when Taylor won by split decision in what was dubbed by a majority of outlets as the Fight of the Year.

In November, Serrano and Taylor were the co-main event on the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson card at AT&T Stadium and delivered the most-watched pro women’s sporting event in U.S. history, with 47 million viewers in the country.

That bout — which Taylor won by unanimous decision — stole the show on the card and left fans craving a third matchup despite Taylor owning a 2-0 advantage in the rivalry.

That is how entertaining they were.

That’s how much the appetite for women’s boxing has grown in recent years.

That’s how strong Serrano’s belief was that she had been wronged on the scorecards.

But the third iteration was much more like Godfather 3 than Godfather 1 or 2.

At the very least, though, it ended with a clear winner of the rivalry.

“We’re historymakers forever,” Taylor said. “And I’m so happy about that.”
