Amanda Serrano was graceful following a historic night at Madison Square Garden in which she came up short in her trilogy fight with Katie Taylor for the undisputed super lightweight championship.

It was the closest of fights but Irish boxing legend Katie Taylor narrowly defeated Amanda Serrano for a third time to etch herself into history as the greatest female fighter of all-time.

After Katie Taylor had defeated her for the third time to remain the undisputed 140-pound champion, Amanda Serrano was in tears.Not because of the sadness over her loss, but because of the appreciation for where women's boxing has gone since the two champions started their trilogy three years ago.
