Who won the fight between Taylor and Serrano 3?

Katie Taylor won the trilogy finale by majority decision on July 11, 2025, at Madison Square Garden. After ten championship rounds, two judges scored it 97-93 for Taylor while one judge saw it even at 95-95, resulting in a majority win for the Irish champion. Taylor now holds an unblemished 3-0 record against Serrano across their three fights.

Scorecard details

The three judges’ scores reflected how closely the bout was contested:

• Judge Mark L: 95-95 (even)
• Judge Nicholas S. Belt: 97-93 Taylor
• Judge Steve Weissfeld: 97-93 Taylor

CBS analyst Brian Campbell scored the fight 96-94 for Taylor, aligning closely with the official tally. The scorecards underscore how razor-thin the margin remained through all ten rounds.

Fight recap

The fight played out as a tactical chess match rather than a firefight. Serrano threw 382 punches compared to Taylor’s 231, but both fighters landed exactly 70 punches apiece. DAZN reported that the third bout “set off the least fireworks compared to prior bouts,” though both women worked through the trenches until the final bell. Taylor retained her IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO junior welterweight titles as a result.

What this means: The closeness of the margin—particularly the split scorecard—suggests Serrano remains in the elite tier of women’s boxing. For Taylor, the trilogy sweep solidifies her legacy but comes with an asterisk: none of the three victories were knockouts, and the final two went the full ten-round distance.

The stream featured real-time coverage by Bleacher Report’s combat team, providing commentary and analysis throughout the card.

The event sold out Madison Square Garden for those attending in person. Internationally, DAZN provided live updates and fight highlights for Canadian audiences and others accessing coverage through that platform.

The implication: Netflix’s exclusive broadcast model signals the streaming giant’s commitment to women’s sports as a draw for subscribers. For fans without Netflix access, the window for live viewing was limited to the initial stream.

What time is the Katie Taylor fight on Irish time?

The main event typically begins 30-45 minutes after the broadcast’s listed start time. Undercard bouts on the all-women’s card—including four world title fights—preceded the Taylor-Serrano trilogy closer.

How much are Taylor and Serrano getting paid?

Specific purse figures for the third fight were not disclosed in available reporting. Most Valuable Promotions, the event’s promoter, typically keeps financial details private until after events. ESPN reported Serrano entered as a -175 betting favorite, suggesting the market viewed her as the more likely winner despite Taylor’s prior victories.

Prize money breakdown

Prize money details from reports were not confirmed at time of publication. The trilogy’s significance—the first women’s fight to headline Madison Square Garden twice—suggested both fighters commanded substantial guarantees. The Netflix distribution model typically does not involve traditional pay-per-view splits.

The catch: Without official purse disclosures, fan speculation about guaranteed incomes versus upside from performance bonuses remains just that—speculation. Future financial reporting from state athletic commissions may illuminate the actual purse distribution.
