Conor McGregor, Jake Paul, Ryan Garcia among stars weighing in on Katie Taylor’s victory over Amanda Serrano

Undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor’s face-off against seven-division champ Amanda Serrano was regarded as one of the biggest fights in women’s boxing history before either of them stepped foot in the ring.

The bout at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night lived up to the hype as the first fight between ESPN’s Nos. 1 and 2 on the pound-for-pound list since 2008 and cemented its spot in history.

Serrano and Taylor went the distance in a back-and-forth match, and in the end, the undisputed champ came out victorious, snapping Serrano’s 28-fight winning streak.

Ahead of the fight Jake Paul, who represented Serrano at the news conference and walked her to the ring, made a $1 million wager with Eddie Hearn, Taylor’s promoter.

Taylor kept her perfect record (now 21-0) intact despite Serrano being favored (-140).

Taylor’s split decision victory made waves on social media. Conor McGregor, Jake Paul and Ryan Garcia were among those who shared their thoughts.
