Many fans of Taylor took to social media to complain about
He said: "Terribly biased narrative again around the pre fight build up on Netflix. Anti Katie Taylor as per the first 2 fight."
Oleksandr Usyk reveals 'the only opponent I don't love' ahead of Daniel Dubois fight
This criticism comes as some of Netflix's commentators and pundits sided with Serrano through all three of the bouts, disagreeing with judges decisions to crown Taylor the winner.
Unlike the second fight between the boxers, Serrano and promoter Paul did not question the decisions of the judges.
The pair were very respectful of the result and were complimentary of the Bray native.
"To be considered the Greatest you have to act like one. She does that both in & out the Ring. Thank you truly".
"Together they lifted the sport for all women and I'm honoured to have played a part in their legacy defining success.
"Women won tonight. Congratulations."

The Open live updates as action begins at Royal Portrush
Two-time champion Padraig Harrington got the 153rd Open Championship under way, backed by loud Irish support at Royal Portrush. With watery sunshine breaking through the clouds overhead and a stiff breeze blowing right-to-left and into his face the 53-year-old, who won back-to-back Claret Jugs in 2007 and 2008, was given the honour of hitting the opening shot at 6.35am. Harrington took an iron and hit the middle of the fairway – which was more than Rory McIlroy did six years ago when the tournament returned to the Dunluce Links after finding out of bounds down the left on his first morning – and responded with a beaming smile, PA report. Despite being given the honour Harrington, who won the US Senior Open a fortnight ago, is determined to compete as he bids to become the oldest winner of the Claret Jug. 'I still think I'm a player but I'm quite happy to take the ceremonial position of hitting the first shot. I have to create my own reality and in my reality I can win,' he said on Wednesday. There was almost as much noise for 22-year-old Tom McKibbin, from McIlroy's Holywood club an hour down the road, whose tee shot crept into the left rough, while Ryder Cup winner Nicolai Hojgaard also found the fairway. Harrington hit his approach to 18 feet and holed his birdie attempt, which was greeted by a loud roar and another broad grin from the Irishman, but McKibbin took three to get to the green for a bogey. The morning starters, which included world number one and US PGA champion Scottie Scheffler playing alongside Irish 2019 champion Shane Lowry and former winner Collin Morikawa off at 10.09am, were likely to get the best of the weather. That also meant the group ahead of Xander Schauffele, beginning his defence of the Claret Jug, Jon Rahm and US Open champion JJ Spaun would also be likely beneficiaries. Conversely McIlroy, not due out until 3.10pm with Ryder Cup team-mate Tommy Fleetwood and American rival Justin Thomas, was facing a greater chance of rain, some of it heavy, with winds gusting up to 20mph. Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, second at last month's US Open, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Rose and Jordan Spieth, European Ryder Cup partners Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland, were also paired together in the two groups immediately prior to McIlroy.

Harrington refuses to be written off in Portrush
After telling us he was preparing to rest for the afternoon to ensure he was ready for his 6.35 am start this morning, Pádraig Harrington then proceeded to stand and give almost half an hour of his time under a beaming Portrush sun. Above him were dunes fringed with yellow grass, and beyond that, the grandstand and the spectator village and the vast tournament shop extended out towards the north Atlantic. Punters had streamed in from early yesterday morning, the final practice day before Harrington hits the first shot at the 153rd Open this morning. It's a ceremonial honour he admits he wondered about, given his competitive spirit. 16 July 2025; Padraig Harrington of Ireland during a practice round at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Antrim, ahead of The 153rd Open Championship. Pic: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile The weather was terrific yesterday, which it won't be for much of the coming four days, if the forecasts are accurate. The shop was packed, and so were the concessions selling beer and fast food. Days like this, in weather like this, have the feel of a fair day. It didn't have the tautness of a big sporting contest, but rather the giddiness of a big day out. By tea-time tonight, it will be transformed. Not only will the skies have darkened, but moods will have, too. This is one of the most admired links courses in the world, but treachery will lurk behind every shot if the rains fall heavily, and the wind gets up. 16 July 2025; Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland during a practice round at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Antrim, ahead of The 153rd Open Championship. Pic: David Fitzgerald/Sportsfile Sensible people are tempering their predictions, and with good reason: what tentative pecking orders have been suggested could have been blown out to sea by the end of today. For now, though, attention is concentrated on Rory McIlroy: as the local hero, as one of the superstars in the field, and as a man who had a wretched time here in 2019, when the Open was in Portrush and Shane Lowry won. He missed the cut that year, on a course where he famously shot 61 as a 16-year-old. But then most of what McIlroy does is famous, and the crowds will be deep and unyielding when he tees off at 3.10pm. Shane Lowry is off at 10.09am, another popular native contender but with an uncertain hold on his form. Uncertainty is one of the glories of sport, and it will be a constant for the next four days. Nothing can be assumed. Glory will be hard-earned, and if there is an Irish winner come Sunday evening, it will be celebrated long and loud. There are five Irish players in the field, with Tom McKibbin joining Harrington and Nicolai Hojgaard for this morning's early start.

Poster boy and the son of a legend: Five Wallabies to watch against the Lions
Joseph Suaalii The poster boy for Australian rugby union following his switch from the Rugby League last year and still only 21, the former Sydney Rooster's return to the code he played as a kid was an instant success on the Wallabies' Northern Hemisphere tour last November, and his aerial prowess on restarts caused England all sorts of problems. The outside centre brings a serious physical threat to the midfield battle and in tandem with an equally rock solid and robust number 12 in Len Ikitau, this combination could be a real thorn in the Lions' side. Also look out for any rekindling of the running verbal battle Suaalii entered into with the chirpy Sione Tuipulotu when Australia met Scotland at Murrayfield last autumn. Tom Lynagh Joe Schmidt had a decision to make at fly-half after his first-choice 10 Noah Lolesio got crocked with a neck injury against Fiji a fortnight ago, ruling him out of the Lions series. The Wallabies head coach called up veteran Crusaders playmaker James O'Connor, who faced the Lions as a starting 10 in 2013, but his real choice was who to start against the Lions, Lynagh of the Queensland Reds or Western Force fly-half/full-back Ben Donaldson. According to Australian media reports, it is Lynagh, four years younger and less experienced than the 26-year-old Donaldson, who has got the nod. It is a big call from Schmidt. Lynagh will be making his first Test start at Suncorp Stadium this Saturday when he wins his fourth Wallabies cap and as a son of legendary Aussie fly-half Michael Lynagh, the scrutiny on the Italian-born, English-educated 22-year-old will only intensify in the international arena. Schmidt clearly thinks Lynagh junior can handle the pressure and a swarming Lions defence. Will Skelton The giant lock has been causing problems for Irish provinces in the Champions Cup knockout stages, first for Saracens against Munster and more recently against Leinster under Ronan O'Gara's direction at La Rochelle with whom he has won two European titles. Skelton also won two Champions Cups and two English Premiership titles at Saracens in partnership with Lions captain Maro Itoje, who this week described his former team-mate as 'a world class operator' and 'a big man to say the least'. At 6ft 6ins and more than 21 stone, Skelton can be a weapon in the loose and scrummaging behind the Australian front row and Wallabies supporters will be hoping Joe Schmidt's optimism that his lock's calf is ready to go for the second test is well founded. Fraser McReight Australia's openside flanker enhanced his reputation with some stellar performances against the Lions nations on tour in the Northern Hemisphere last November, not least against Andy Farrell's Ireland at Aviva Stadium in a tight game the Wallabies could easily have won. The 26-year-old Brisbane native will be out to rule his home turf this Saturday and Ireland and Lions No.8 Jack Conan is well aware of his breakdown poaching threat. 'We know he is going to be a massive threat and Australia's back row is unbelievable. It's one of the best in the world. 'He was great against us in November and we know the challenge and the threat he poses. So, we're going to have make sure we're all over the ruck. You saw the Brumbies and the Waratahs the other week, they're going really hard at the ruck. 'Every team does it but they got a good amount of joy out of us in the breakdown so we know we need to be squeaky clean in that area come the weekend.' Rob Valetini Another reason why the Wallabies back row is such a formidable outfit. When fit, Valetini will be tasked with backing up his status as Australia's primary ball carrier, a powerhouse player who not only gets over the gainline more than any other Wallaby but also makes the most post-contact metres.
