The Mexican tennis player gave his all and managed to keep swinging until the final ring. In a word, she hasn’t stopped, but has been put in the post by a smarter Serrano. In the end, she took it on cards 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93, which perhaps doesn’t tell the story of the bravery that Cruz displayed.
After the results made history, Serrano enjoyed the glory before her next plan was announced.
“She is the Mexican champion. I know she won’t let me take her belt. She works hard for this, I work hard for me. We have trained for this. I wouldn’t expect anything less.
“I have successfully fulfilled all my dreams. It’s great to be the undisputed champion.”
Then her coach walked in, who said, “We’re going to Ireland next.”
In fact they do, as Eddie Hearn officially announced the Katie Taylor rematch on May 20 in Dublin. Taylor – who took his first win by split decision – entered the ring to face off, two undisputed women ready to rerun what many call the fight of the year.
