FANS have slammed Katie Taylor’s controversial win over Amanda Serrano as “rigged”.
The pair fought in a thrilling ten round bout in Texas on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson.
Taylor won via a unanimous decision, with the announcement of her victory greeted by boos inside the AT&T Stadium.
Serrano landed 324 punches compared to her rival’s 217.
Serrano said: “I knew the judges would be shady, I went up three divisions and dared to be great.
“I am want to be great and fight the best. I am a featherweight.
“Every cut bothers you and you get blood in the eye but we know that’s what she does, no matter how many cuts I get, I keep going.
“She headbutts in every fight, she does it in other fights. I am a champion, I am happy and super-grateful to be here.”
The commentator on Netflix said the controversy around her win will “be an asterisk on Katie Taylor’s legacy”.
Fans also felt Serrano was hard done by, with one saying: “Taylor should not have won. Disgusting headbutts. Less punches. Clear loss.”
Another added: “Never seen something more rigged.”
