Leeds United fan Katie Taylor cemented her place among boxing’s greats early Saturday morning, with victory over Amanda Serrano, in their highly anticipated trilogy bout at New York's Madison

After two all-time classics, the trilogy fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano failed to live up to the hype on Friday night. After 10 rounds of slow-paced action, Taylor took her third razor-thin decision over Serrano to retain the undisputed junior welterweight title.

After Katie Taylor had defeated her for the third time to remain the undisputed 140-pound champion, Amanda Serrano was in tears.Not because of the sadness over her loss, but because of the appreciation for where women's boxing has gone since the two champions started their trilogy three years ago.
