Hands down Serrano won this fight. Taylor spent more time mashing her braids into Serrano’s cut than she did actually fighting 🤷🏻♀️ However…Serrano, I need your jersey asap because you made a new fan last night ✌🏻
I landed 107 more punches, she got a point deducted and I lost 95-94 lmfao

In my next life, I wish to be born as the woman walking past me, outside the Amtrak dining car, with a tray full of hot dogs and several Stella Artois. She got it right.
