Taylor won via a unanimous decision, with the announcement of her victory greeted by boos inside the AT&T Stadium.
Serrano landed 324 punches compared to her rival’s 217.
Serrano said: “I knew the judges would be shady, I went up three divisions and dared to be great.
“I am want to be great and fight the best. I am a featherweight.
“Every cut bothers you and you get blood in the eye but we know that’s what she does, no matter how many cuts I get, I keep going.
“She headbutts in every fight, she does it in other fights. I am a champion, I am happy and super-grateful to be here.”
The commentator on Netflix said the controversy around her win will “be an asterisk on Katie Taylor’s legacy”.
