NEW YORK — Amanda Serrano wore down a bloody Erika Cruz and won a unanimous decision to become the undisputed featherweight champion and set up a rematch with fellow champ Katie Taylor. Serrano got the better of a fight in which the fighters stood close and kept swinging throughout, emerging with the victory by scores of 98-92 on two cards and 97-93 on the other. Cruz spent much of the fight wiping away blood from near her eyes after a clash of heads in the third round. After the bout, promoter Eddie Hearn said Serrano (44-2-1, 30 KOs) and Taylor, who joined him in the ring, would meet May 20 in Ireland.
