The final minute of the bout told the story of accuracy on the part of Taylor. Serrano continued throwing feel out straight jabs, missing most of them. Taylor landed 70 of 231 punches, while Serrano landed 70 of 382 punches. Serrano led 21-13 in jabs landed, while Taylor led 57-49 in power shots. Taylor appeared the more effective combatant, wining 97-93, 97-93 on two scorecards. Judge Mark Lyson scored the bout 95-95 a draw.
Taylor, now 25-1 with six knockouts, Vernon, Connecticut, by way of Bray, Ireland, might be looking at a trilogy with the WBC interim World Super Lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron, who eat her at 3Dublin Arena in May 20223 by decision, then lost the rematch by decision in the same venue in November 2023.
