Katie Taylor entered the ring at Madison Square Garden with resolute grace, symbolizing a powerful moment for women in sport. The juxtaposition of Taylor's stoic demeanor against Yulihan Luna's battered image encapsulates the complexities of boxing and femininity. The atmosphere was infused with reverence as music played and the stakes were high, with both fighters risking their legacies and physical safety. Taylor, representing Ireland, and Serrano, a Puerto Rican southpaw, showcased their diverse fighting styles, highlighting the transformative nature of women's boxing and its historic significance in this iconic venue.
The danger is useless. It protects no country. No one is conscripted. But it underwrites everything that feels noble about this violent, anachronistic art.
When women, historically deemed too fragile to fight, headline an iconic arena that has never before granted them that right, the danger takes on a new meaning.
