On The Watch “It’s All About Amanda Serrano vs Reina Tellez”

WBA/WBO Featherweight Title Defence

Last night’s MVP Promotions/DAZN Main Event at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico, between WBA/WBO/Ring Magazine Featherweight Champion Amanda Serrano (48-4-1, 31 Kos) and late replacement, undefeated challenger Reina Tellez (13-1-1, 5 Kos), gave the Puerto Rican fans in attendance a very entertaining bout on Saturday night. Real Talk!

Reina knew exactly who she was up against inside that squared circle so she made sure she brought her “A” game and that “HEAT” straight to Amanda. Reina was impressive, tough, strong and proved to be very durable warrior.

That being said, Serrano is a living legend and “The Real Deal” inside that squared circle and being back at her natural weight Division meant she was back to her old self. Amanda handled Reina’s pressure like she did all her previous foes. Amanda pressed the action with her high-volume punch output going from head to body with a very accurate jab that was backed with power and definitely made her presence felt in every round of this bout.  

Reina stood her ground and fought toe-to-toe with the Champ and landed some pretty good shots and definitely had some moments, but the pace and the experience that Amanda has was quite visible as the rounds progressed.  Amanda showed levels above Reina in the later rounds by being the aggressor and landing the more telling punches and combinations.

It was a very competitive bout for both combatants but after 10 full three-minute rounds of nonstop action, the Judges at hand scored it 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93 unanimously for Amanda Serrano.

With this win, Amanda retained her WBA/WBO/Ring Magazine Featherweight Titles and secured a successful defense in her home town of Puerto Rico.

Well done, Champ!

Undisputed Junior Welterweight Showdown

The highly anticipated trilogy showdown finally came to a conclusion last night to a packed house at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring magazine Champion Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 Kos) separated herself yet again by defeating highly decorated Champion Amanda Serrano (47-4-1, 30 Kos) for the third time.

This trilogy fight headlined an all-woman’s card that gave the night an aura of success and achievement for all the competitors but truth be told the Main Event did not live up to the expectation us fans anticipated.

Maybe we were spoiled by the two previous encounters that these two warriors graced us with by the “HEAT” and all-out action-packed fight of the year type brawl that we witnessed in the 20 rounds these two combatants had shared. Both bouts were memorable and had us fans wanting to see them go at it one more time. That being said, last night’s showdown between these two combatants fell miserably short from their previous encounters. Taylor’s “game plan” was clear from the jump: to not get caught going toe-to-toe with Serrano and play keep away as much as possible while Serrano over did it by reducing her usual aggressive punch output by being overly cautious neutralizing her own biggest strength and asset. It was the wrong “game plan” for this night and it cost Serrano dearly.

Out of the three times these two Champions shared the inside of that squared circle, this was by far their worst combined showing. What was meant to be a war turned out to be a disappointing sparring session by two highly decorated combatants who are known to bringing the action to life but on this night neither combatant was looking to rumble.

The low punch output from both combatants made it harder to call the rounds but after 10 rounds of dull action one Judge scored it even at 95-95 while the other two Judges had it 97-93 in favor of Katie Taylor.        

With this win on this historical night of boxing, Katie Taylor retained her Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring magazine Championship Titles, while Amanda Serrano remains Unified Featherweight Champion of the World but still down 0-3 vs Katie Taylor.

Undisputed Junior Welterweight Showdown

The rematch between Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 Kos) and highly decorated Champion Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 30 Kos) has officially been announced and they are going to go at it in a highly anticipated and well received trilogy showdown on an all-women’s card live on Netflix Friday July 11, 2025, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Judging by their first press conference, these two well-decorated warriors are definitely going to bring that “HEAT” when they step foot inside that squared circle. They’ll start right where they left off from their two highly-contested but controversial showdowns that keep us wanting more every time.

Throughout all the trash talking and the back and forth these two warriors were throwing at each other one thing was made certain by Katie, she is 2-0 over Amanda and will be looking to maintain that lead come fight night by making it 3-0.

That being said, Amanda is extremely determined to right the wrong this time around and prove to the naysayers that she is capable of dethroning Katie off her Queen’s chair and become once and for all the Undisputed Junior Welterweight Champion. Those are her intensions but truth be told, Katie Taylor is no walk in the park type of an opponent. Katie is highly skilled in every department and equipped with the will of a Lioness who refuses to back down.

Regardless of their previous outings this trilogy is once again must-see TV. Another moment in time to be added to the History Books!

So, tune in live on Netflix Friday night July 11, 2025, from Madison Square Garden in New York City, and be part of this historical night of boxing.

Undisputed Junior Welterweight Challenge

The highly anticipated and rescheduled rematch unraveled last Friday night to a packed house at the AT & T Stadium when Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 Kos) and highly decorated Champion Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 30 Kos) picked up the “HEAT” right where they left off from their last encounter two years ago at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

This Co-Main Event should have been the original Netflix Main Event of the night by the way these two warriors rigorously fought toe-to toe from start to finish entertaining all who took the time to enjoy this great battle.

Both combatants came into this challenge with an extra sense of confidence and familiarity of one another but it was Serrano, coming up three Divisions and the smaller fighter, who actually had more pop at the weight. Serrano’s punches stunned Katie early and set the stage for the night.

A relentless Katie refused to backdown and stood her ground and exchanged leather going back and forth. However, a severe clash of heads opened up a cut over Serrano’s right eye that threatened the continuation of the bout but a persistent Serrano refused to bow out this way and insisted on going on with the fight.

The cut eventually opened up some more due to further clashes of heads by Taylor that looked deliberate at times but nevertheless did not deter Serrano from imposing her will. Both combatants threw a combined 1,263 punches between the two but it was Serrano who outpunched Taylor 324 to 217 and handed out the more telling damage.

After 10 very competitive rounds of nonstop action, the Judges at hand all scored it 95-94 in favor of Katie Taylor, once again giving us a controversial ending to another great bout.

With this win, Katie Taylor retained her Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Championship Titles but in my opinion, I feel that Amanda did enough to dethrone Taylor on the night due to her higher work rate and her stronger finish in the championship rounds.

Just my thoughts.

Undisputed Junior Welterweight Challenge

The highly anticipated rematch between Undisputed Junior Welterweight IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 Kos) and Unified Featherweight IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO/Ring Magazine Champion Amanda Serrano (46-2-1, 30 Kos) has been officially announced to meet up once again but at a different weight Division than their previous encounter.

Amanda has agreed to move up three Divisions in order to get that get back and challenge Katie for all the Jewels that she’s holding as the Undisputed Champion. It’s a tougher task than expected for Amanda. The 140-Pound Division favors Katie a lot more than Amanda but this highly decorated Pound-for-Pound Champion in Amanda is aiming high at proving the naysayers wrong and that she can conquer these harsh challenges ahead.

Katie, who is fresh off capturing the Undisputed Junior Welterweight Titles from Chantelle Cameron, hasn’t slowed down since. Having already shared the ring with Amanda, I’m expecting Katie to come fully loaded and ready for an action-packed fight.

These two Champion combatants are two of the biggest names in the game today. They brought the “HEAT” to the ring 2 years ago and will attempt to overshadow their previous encounter by raising the bar once again inside that squared circle and bring women’s boxing to the far front for all to see.

Tune in on Netflix Saturday night July 20, 2024, from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This Co-Main Event might just steal the show on the night. Real Talk!

Undisputed Featherweight Champion

Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event showdown between Unified IBF/IBO/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Featherweight Champion Amanda Serrano (44-2-1, 30 Kos) and WBA Super Featherweight Champion Erika Cruz (15-2, 3 Kos) brought the building down at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater with an electrifying performance by both combatants. Real Talk!

These two warriors made the Main Event worth every penny earned that night. Them two Champions knew exactly what was at stake and wasted no time asserting themselves right from the first bell.

Heavy bombs were being dropped from both combatants standing toe to toe and tightly knit with neither opponent showing signs of backing off. However, Amanda was slicker with her movements – boxing and dodging avoiding the onslaught coming her way.

With both combatants exchanging leather in the phone booth style a clash of heads occurred in the third round causing a deep cut on the forehead of Erika but still did not deter her from continuing to drop bombs at every opportunity

Amanda looked good and strong as the rounds progressed. She boxed and moved beautifully while keeping busy with her hands and landing some serious leather. That said Erika’s own shots did get through and eventually cut Amanda on the forehead making the bout that more interesting.

In the championship rounds Amanda showed her superiority and special skill set by out landing and outworking Erika to the punch. Erika showed crazy toughness, refusing to let the blood dripping in her eyes deter her from the task at hand.

After 10 fully contested rounds of action, the Judges at hand scored it 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93 unanimously for Amanda Serrano.

With this win Amanda collected the WBA Super Featherweight Belt from Erika and retained her IBF/IBO/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Featherweight Championship Titles to now being crowned the first man or woman from Puerto Rico to become Undisputed IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC/WBO/Ring Magazine Featherweight Champion of the World. Now that’s “The Real Deal”.

Congratulations Amanda on this historical achievement – well-deserved.

Undisputed Lightweight Championship Challenge

Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between Undisputed Lightweight IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO/ Ring Magazine Champion Katie Taylor (21-0, 6 Kos) and highly decorated Champion Amanda Serrano (42-2-1, 30 Kos), outdid themselves when they battled it out at Madison Square Garden in New York.

This was women’s Boxing at its highest level and both combatants showed the World and the fans in attendance a boxing match that will last the test of time. Real Talk! Amanda, who moved up in weight from the 126-Pound Division to the 135-Pound Division, did not look out of place exchanging leather for leather against the visibly bigger Champion in Katie Taylor.

Them two warriors gave it to each other right from the jump with neither combatant letting one another get the edge as the rounds progressed. Both had moments throughout the bout and both managed to impress me with the way they executed their respectable “game plan”.

Amanda, being the smaller opponent, performed exceptionally well and even had the Champ hurt a few times and could have put the Champ out if it wasn’t for the round being over at the right time giving Katie that out long enough to recover. Amanda’s power was real and looked quite effective and definitely bothered Katie whenever she got tagged hard enough.

That said, Katie is one resilient combatant who wasn’t about to be outdone on the biggest night of her career to date. Katie’s hand speed and punch output was quite efficient and definitely made it difficult for Amanda to match her punch for punch. Her foot work and conditioning were key points that carried her throughout the bout.

This was a tight bout to call from start to finish and both combatants had their respectable moments throughout the bout, but after 10 full rounds of nonstop action the Judges at hand scored it 96-93, 97-93 for Taylor and 96-94 for Serrano, giving the edge and the win to Katie Taylor.

Listen, I’m a big fan of Katie but I personally think that Amanda edged this one, hands down!
Again, this was a tight bout from start to finish but Amanda did the better work round by round and clearly had Katie hurt numerous times and landed the more visible telling punches. Katie’s punch output was very good but Amanda stood her ground and showed her strength and power with clean punches that were too clean to be ignored by these two Judges’ score cards.

Just my thoughts.

WBC/WBO Featherweight Title Defence

Last night’s Ring City USA Main Event at Plaza del Quinto Centenario, in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, between WBC/WBO Featherweight Champion Amanda Serrano (40-1-1, 30 Kos) and Daniela Bermudez (29-4-3, 10 Kos) was a showcase type of event for the one they call “The Real Deal” Serrano. Real Talk!

There are levels to this Boxing sh*t and Amanda displayed just that when she dismantled from top to bottom her highly decorated three-division champ Daniela in such a convincing matter. Daniela stood her ground and exchanged leather from the jump but her unconventional stance and lack of adaptation cost her dearly when confronted with someone as seasoned as Amanda.

Amanda was visibly quicker and accurate with her punch selections and definitely had more sting at the end of it as well. Amanda’s inside game was very impressive as well, considering Daniela’s “game plan” was to keep Amanda close but clearly didn’t anticipate Amanda taking advantage of her inside game as easily as she did.

That being said, Daniela was outmatched and outgunned at every corner. Daniela was visibly defeated and ready to concede. The “End Game” was near and came in the 9th round when Amanda landed a two-punch unbearable body combination that led to a delayed reaction from Daniela who then took a knee and got counted out.

It was a beautiful display by Amanda. With this win she retained her WBC/WBO Featherweight Titles and picked up the vacant IBO Featherweight Belt. Job well done!

Congratulations Amanda on another Pound-for-Pound exceptional performance. the road to Undisputed is on your horizon.
