Viewers are saying the same thing about Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano following Tyson/Paul result

Following Jake Paul's defeat over the legendary Mike Tyson, fans are all saying the same thing about another fight on the card.

Taking place in front of around 72,000 people at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas - as well as the millions watching around the world on Netflix - there is no doubt that this was a highly anticipated event.

Watching Mike Tyson step back into a boxing ring at the age of 58 against an opponent 31 years his junior was always going to bring eyes to the screen - even if it was out of morbid curiosity.

Sadly, Tyson was unable to rewind the clock and topple the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, and Paul was declared the winner by unanimous decision after eight two-minute rounds.

In fact, when all was said and done, the fight was nothing short of... underwhelming.

The action was slow and predictable, with some reports claiming that fans were leaving for the result was even announced.

But that certainly couldn't be said about the fight that preceded Tyson and Paul, as Katie Taylor toppled Amanda Serrano in a rematch for the ages.

Defending her undisputed light-welterweight title in a rematch from their MSG bout, all three judges narrowly awarded the win to Taylor at 95-94. The fight was action-packed, controversial, bloody... it was EXCITING.

As a result, viewers have taken to social media to declare that Taylor and Serrano should have main-evented the show (and that Serrano was "robbed").

"Let’s be real, that Taylor/Serrano fight was the real main event tonight," one X user wrote.

"Serrano vs Taylor should’ve been the main event," another added.

A third tweeted: "The main event should’ve been Katie Taylor and Serrano. Not Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. I said what I said"

"Taylor vs Serrano should have been the actual main event. #PaulTyson," wrote another.

Yes, Netflix billed the night as having two "co-main events" - but we all know it is about who closes the show, and Taylor and Serrano should have closed if it was based on talent alone.

However, with the sheer star power in the Tyson/Paul fight, there was no question that the men were going to close the show... resulting in that empty feeling we're all experiencing right now.

Following their bout, Serrano said of her disappointing loss: "I knew when it went to the judges it was going to be a little shady. Listen, I chose to fight. I went up three divisions. I lost in two and I dared to be great tonight. I am the featherweight champion of the world. I want to be great. I only fight the best. It is what it is. I'm a featherweight."

Speaking about her nasty eye injury, she added: "Every time you get a cut it hurts. You get blood in your eye. She kept headbutting me, but we knew that from the very beginning, the first fight. It's not only my fight, she did it with Chantelle Cameron. Listen, I am Puerto Rican. No matter how many cuts, I will fight to the very end."

And speaking on her victory, Taylor said post-fight: "It's very hard to tell during the fight. I knew it was an absolute slug fest in there, an absolute war. Thank God I came out on the winning side.

"Thank you to Amanda, she's a fantastic champion. I think we agreed to 12, three-minute rounds in our next fight. The triple is on.

"That's what a boxer does. We train to be able to recover from those punches. She's a hard puncher. A very tough warrior. I was prepared for that. I don't care if the commentary team or the crowd disagree with the result. The only ones who matter are the judges around the ring. So thank God.

"I definitely didn't agree with the point deduction. I certainly wasn't fighting dirty. Sometimes it gets rough in there.

"This is an amazing moment for women's boxing. We put on another amazing show."

Let's hope we do see that third fight down the road.
