Netflix’s Paul vs. Tyson’s Main Event Was Actually Taylor vs. Serrano

As a seasoned boxing enthusiast with decades of ringside experiences under my belt, I must say that the Serrano vs Taylor fight was the undisputed main event of the night. The raw energy, technical skill, and unyielding determination displayed by these two remarkable women made it a classic match that will go down in history.


20 years after a long buildup, Mike Tyson stepped back into the boxing arena to face Jake Paul. Their match was slated as the headliner on Netflix’s card. The atmosphere was intense, but as the bouts progressed, it became clear that the fight itself wasn’t living up to viewers’ anticipation. Unfortunately, this was following a fantastic display by Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in another match, and while Paul vs Tyson was billed as the co-main event, it seemed after the fact that the real main event of the night was Serrano versus Taylor.

History and Controversy

Before their upcoming bout, the Serrano vs Taylor matchup boasted a rich history typical of a fierce rivalry. Both combatants had previously engaged in an epic fight back in 2022, with Taylor securing a narrow win through a split decision that sparked debate due to its closeness.

In their latest bout, there was no shortage of debate-worthy moments. During the contest, Taylor frequently used her head as an offensive tool, resulting in a clash with Serrano that left a cut above Taylor’s eye which worsened throughout the fight. This aggressive tactic led to referee Jon Schorle cautioning Taylor on multiple headbutts, and eventually deducting a point from her score due to it.

During the fight, Serrano’s eye wound worsened progressively, but Schorle kept a close eye on it throughout. Remarkably, the fight didn’t halt, and even with the severe gash, Serrano managed to land more punches as the night wore on. This unexpected turn of events, coupled with the escalating intensity, made the final verdict all the more intriguing. In the end, the judges ruled in favor of Taylor by a slim margin of 95 – 94, adding more excitement to the already heated contest.

Not a Contest

A significant aspect of Taylor and Serrano’s confrontation was the thrilling unfolding of the fight itself, which outshone Tyson vs. Paul in terms of excitement. While spectators of Tyson vs. Paul witnessed brief bursts of action throughout the eight rounds, these instances were short-lived, and much of the fight lacked impactful blows (forgive the play on words).

In the bout between Serrano and Taylor, contrary to what one might expect from the initial round, it quickly picked up pace and never slowed down. Both combatants were constantly exchanging powerful blows, with Serrano edging out Taylor by landing 324 punches compared to Taylor’s 217. In stark contrast, the fight between Paul and Tyson saw a much smaller number of landed punches, as Paul managed 78 compared to Tyson’s mere 18.

As the battle continued, injuries were healed, and the technical aspect of the match transformed into a full-blown brawl, with both fighters throwing punch combinations relentlessly, despite appearing exhausted. These punches persisted until the final round, culminating in a fight that surpassed expectations while also incorporating some unexpected twists and turns. The Serrano vs Taylor match was undoubtedly Netflix’s main attraction, leaving no doubt about it.
