Amanda Serrano Suffers Nasty Eye Injury During Controversial Loss to Katie Taylor

Boxing fans were left gasping after Amanda Serrano’s showdown with Katie Taylor on Friday night. The fierce rematch had all the makings of a classic, but it was Serrano’s bloody gash over her right eyebrow and the heated decision that left everyone talking. The Puerto Rican powerhouse went toe-to-toe with Taylor, only to walk away with a wound that’ll need stitches—and maybe a top-tier plastic surgeon—plus another frustrating loss.

Despite out-landing Taylor throughout the fight, Serrano fell to a controversial decision, her second defeat to Taylor in their storied rivalry. She made her feelings known about the results, posting a photo of her eyebrow split wide open, a testament to the brutal battle in the ring.

The cut, as it turns out, wasn’t from a punch. Replays revealed that Taylor’s head was the culprit, a fact acknowledged by the referee who informed the judges. To make matters more intense, Taylor received multiple warnings for head butts and eventually had a point deducted late in the fight for her repeated offenses. But by then, the damage was done.

Serrano didn’t hold back when asked if she thought the head butts were intentional. “I think 100 percent [it was on purpose],” she said. “Because she does it every fight.” The deep cut clearly affected Serrano’s performance, with her visibly favoring the injured side during key exchanges.

Fans and experts alike voiced their opinions, with many saying Serrano deserved the win. Even Taylor seemed open to the idea of a trilogy, hinting that the rivalry might not be over just yet. With the score now 0-2 against Taylor, Serrano might just get the chance to settle the score and prove who truly reigns supreme in the ring.
