Amanda Serrano entered at 126 pounds with the building loud enough to blur corner instructions. Three minute rounds again. Ten of them. The important detail surfaced quickly, she chose controlled pressure rather than extended range, and that choice defined the entire night.
Her jab functioned as a lever, placed to the chest and lead shoulder to slow exits, followed by compact hooks downstairs that produced a dull, heavy sound from ringside. The pattern recalled Alexis Argüello’s insistence on body placement rather than Larry Holmes’ long, metered jab. Serrano cut off the ring in incremental steps, shrinking space until Reina Tellez needed two movements to find daylight.
Tellez showed timing and nerve. The right hand over Serrano’s lead shoulder landed when Serrano leaned, and her clinch awareness bought brief resets. The arithmetic favored Serrano. Close to sixty punches per round through six, many to the body, and by round eight the legs answered slower.
The adjustment arrived late. Serrano stopped trailing and started meeting angles, stepping right and dropping the check left hook Willie Pep treated as a positional anchor. The crowd reacted more out of recognition than excitement. Scores of 98 92 and 97 93 twice reflected control built through repetition. It was effective. It was also flat.
Stephanie Han vs Holly Holm, movement without escalation
At 135 pounds, Stephanie Han appeared several pounds lighter on the night, which showed in her ability to reset range after exchanges. Holly Holm stayed upright behind a disciplined high guard, drawing entries and offering little else. Han answered with steady clusters, finishing combinations with a step out that denied returns.
This remained tactical to a fault. Han’s feet lived just outside Holm’s left hand, forcing reaches that stalled rhythm. A clash of heads in the seventh opened a deep cut and the ringside physician ended it. Cards of 69 65, 69 64, 68 65 tracked activity rather than damage. The fight never changed gears.
Ebanie Bridges, the hard truth
Ebanie Bridges returned at 118 pounds after childbirth and looked like a fighter who has reached the end of the usable tape. Alexis Araiza beat her to position, beat her to the jab, and beat her to the punch without needing to raise pace. Bridges’ reactions were late, her feet heavy, her exchanges predictable. Scores of 80 72 and 78 74 twice were generous.
The sport rarely offers clean exits. This one did. Retirement is the responsible call.
González vs Rivera, and the rest of a quiet card
At flyweight, Jonathan González dropped Yankiel Rivera in the second with a short left timed on the exit step, then controlled twelve rounds through economy and feints. Rivera rallied late, but the knockdown set the margin. Scores of 116 114 twice and 117 110 installed González as WBA Interim holder, a designation that notes position, not lineage.
Elsewhere, Krystal Rosado won six rounds behind a disciplined jab without raising urgency. Jan Paul Rivera edged a majority decision in a featherweight bout that never found rhythm. Henry Lebron forced a seventh round stoppage through steady pressure rather than acceleration. Several unbeaten fighters collected rounds, not statements. Punch counts stayed moderate. Tempo rarely shifted. The audience filled the space with noise the action did not.
Forward assessment
Serrano remains an efficient pressure technician who understands how to spend energy across three minute rounds. Against sharper movers with firmer exits, earlier lead foot control will be necessary to avoid conceding early frames. The card itself offered little resistance or revelation. Effective boxing. Little engagement.

All these fights was just too safe, no fire in them! Back in my day they went in there trying to KO each other not play tag for ten rounds 🥱
Bridges shoulda stayed retired after having a kid. She looked slow and confused in there like she forgot how to box or something 😬
That Han vs Holm fight was boring as hell. Just dancing around and tapping each other, no real fighting. If I wanted to watch jogging I’d go to the park 💨
True that, man! They didn’t even try to knock each other out. What’s the point of boxing if nobody throws haymakers?
I don’t get why everyone praises Serrano so much. Yeah, she throws a lot of punches, but it’s all the same thing over and over. Just walking forward ain’t smart boxing. 🤷
Exactly bro! She just kept doing the same combo and folks act like it’s genius. Pressure don’t mean nothing if you not hurting nobody real bad.
