Katie Taylor issues brutal response to Amanda Serrano after headbutt accusation
Katie Taylor had little time for Amanda Serrano’s accusation of a headbutt during another epic between the two fighters.
Taylor defended her status as undisputed world light-welterweight champion with a unanimous decision victory over Serrano at the AT&T Stadium on Friday, with the judges scoring the bout 95-94 in her favour.
However, controversy erupted after the decision was handed down when the Puerto Rican used her post-fight interview on Netflix to accuse Taylor of intentional headbutting.
Serrano received a brutal cut above her eye in the fourth round, which was attributed to an accidental headbutt.
Taylor was deducted a point in the eighth round after repeatedly being warned against leading with the head.
Following the fight, Serrano said: "I knew it if went to the judges it was going to be a little shady.
"I chose to be great. I went up three divisions. It is what it is. I'm a featherweight, man.
"She kept headbutting me. It's what she does.
"It's not just my fight, it's all her fights.
"It's what she does."
Still, speaking in her post-fight press conference, Taylor said: “I've fought her twice, I've beat her twice. I really couldn't care less what's being said. I'm 2-0 against Serrano and I'm very, very happy.”
