The reaction was not positive to the fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Magic Johnson posted on X that he had disabled it, calling the event “sad.” One viewer told the Athletic: “I’m ashamed I actually saw this.” Another said: “The Taylor vs. Serrano fight before that was so far ahead of the main event it might as well have been a different sport.” That was the co-main event on Friday night: Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in a bloody brawl that ended with Taylor’s spot as undisputed light welterweight champion of the world, ESPN reports, after a points decision that left her answering questions about whether she deserved the victory.

According to CNN, Puerto Rico’s Serrano was the main aggressor. She landed more punches – a record 324 per CompuBox – than Ireland’s Taylor. But Taylor had her moments, and a clash of heads in the fourth round left blood pouring down Serrano’s face from a large cut above her right eye as they continued to fight. A flurry in the seventh round saw Serrano land 54 punches, Taylor 35. A headbutt in the eighth round cost Taylor a point, and Serrano appeared to have the victory in hand. But all three judges scored the fight for Taylor, 95-94. The crowd in Arlington, Texas, booed.

“I didn’t agree with the point deduction,” Taylor told Netflix, adding: “It was an absolute brawl, a war. This is a great moment in women’s boxing.” Serrano said, “I knew going to the jury was going to be a little murky.” It was a tough act for Tyson and Paul to follow. “This fight is such a downgrade compared to the Serrano-Taylor fight,” Oskar Garcia posted for the Athletic during the fight won by Paul, also by unanimous decision.
