Amanda Serrano left last opponent disfigured after landing 236 punches ahead of Katie Taylor fight

Amanda Serrano gave her last opponent such a beating that she left her disfigured.

The Puerto Rican's dominant win over Miriam Gutierrez left her opponent's face disfigured after the Spaniard absorbed 236 punches during the 20-minute fight last December.

Serrano took on Gutierrez, who was previously been beaten by Taylor, in the co-main event to Jake Paul's stunning KO win over Tyron Woodley.

Serrano posed with Gutierrez after the fight accompanied by a picture of her opponent, and said: "I want to thank my dance partner Miriam Gutiérrez. She didn’t come to lay down.

"I don’t care who is in front of me, I’m not coming to play! She just told me she weighed 160lbs today. Thank god I worked with my girl Nisa Rodriguez who was at 165lbs."

Gutierrez was left with a severely swollen face having absorbed 37 punches in the first round alone but was able to land 129 of her own despite the brilliance of Serrano.

The Spaniard was suspended indefinitely following the brutal loss after she was taken to hospital.

She was then given an indefinite suspension by the Florida Athletic Commission.

"I’ve never felt so bad after a win," Serrano tweeted after hearing of Gutierrez's injuries. "My opponent was a warrior and I was just doing my job.

"Miriam is actually one of my opponents I like the most; so humble, kind and with a huge heart.

"[She is] fearless in every way - someone sent this to me and it’s bothering me."
