Very little to note from the first round as both suss each other out, trying to find their range.

That’s more like it! Baumgardner comes out with into catching Miranda with a right hook before following in with a sharp combination to secure an early knockdown!

Miranda is straight back up on her feet, having just been overwhelmed by the flurry, but she’s caught again with a stiff right to see out the round!

Strong start by the champ.

Before we get to Taylor vs Serrano 3, we’ve got an absolute belter for the undisputed super-featherweight titles!

American champion Alycia Baumgardner takes on the undefeated Jennifer Miranda, hoping to maintain her zero and take the hardware back to Cadiz.

Baumgardner is looking loose as she boogies her way down to the ring – can she retain her gold?

Scheduled for 10 rounds, this should be a corker!

This atmosphere was never not going to absolutely electric, was it?

Whether donning Irish or Puerto Rican flags, everyone is on their feet and having a sing song between fights.

When Serrano and Taylor hit the Garden, it’s going to be DEAFENING!

We’re less than 40 minutes away from the trilogy bout we’ve all been dreaming about!

Katie Taylor. Amanda Serrano. It’s a guaranteed barnburner.

Tens of millions of viewers, seven-figure paydays, and numerous world titles are just fragments of one of sport’s most important rivalries. Alex Pattle delves deeper into the duo that have transcended women’s boxing:

“I’m so sorry, this is 20 years, man – 20 years,” she says, weeping in the ring with her unified belts.

“I was 15 years old, and I wanted to box, and I started with this man right here. My mother told me no, told me to go to college, but told me that if I brought my degree back, I could pursue boxing.

“Twenty years later, we unified. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, with joy. These guys pushed me to my limit this camp. I got beat up every day in sparring and I know it was worth it because Savannah Marshall is f***ing phenomenal.”

Savannah Marshall is not taking that defeat lightly.

Fuming at the judges, she says: “Take nothing away from Shadasia, she was wonderful. I’ve never been hit like that before. Even with a point off, you’ve given me two rounds. How is that fair? All I wanted was a fair fight.”

MSG do not take her complaints well as boos ring around the arena.

Shadasia Green def. Savannah Marshall via split decision (96-93, 95-94, 93-96)

What a reaction. The local girl gets it done on the scorecards – it’s pandemonium in The Garden!

As she has the entire fight, Green is happy to bide her time and pick powerful shots when she so pleases.

Marshall is looking for something special but she’s seriously tiring, with Green catching her with a big combo to send her on the retreat!

She has her on the ropes as Green finishes with a flurry, snapping her head backwards one time more for good measure.

Marshall is putting Green under pressure, forcing her to the ropes but the American is doing well to get out and avoid any real damage from being taken.

It’s in the centre of the ring where Marshall gets some joy. She connects nicely with a body shot, before just dodging a big right hook that goes high.

Green gestures with a slit throat. She’s going for the kill.

Nice combination from Marshall hurts her opponent, but Green responds with a powerful shot of her own to send the Brit backwards.

There doesn’t seem much she can do to knock the Paterson bruiser out of kilter.

Marshall is trying to fight back after seeing the tide turn firmly in Green’s favour. But as she goes for big shots, she’s leaving herself exposed to be picked apart by the Green jab.

Huge overhand from Green is evaded as the round comes to a close.

A less eventful round until the final 30 seconds, as Green starts firing from the hip from the corner. Even when against the ropes, it’s the American whose looking more threatening.
