- Amanda Serrano retained her unified WBA and WBO featherweight titles by majority decision on Friday, with official scorecards of 116-112, 116-112 and 114-114, moving her to 50-4-1.
- Serrano failed to win by stoppage and remains tied with Christy Martin at 32 career knockouts, leaving her bid to break the women’s KO record for a possible farewell fight.
- Most Valuable Promotions partnered with TikTok to stream the 12-round, two-minute-round title fight, and the broadcast drew roughly 3.4 million total viewers on the platform.
- The decision drew immediate criticism from fans and fighters, including Claressa Shields, and Serrano skipped the post-fight press conference while posting that the bout was “rough.”
- Lucrecia Manzur, a 27-year-old Argentine making her first world-title appearance, pressed Serrano throughout and gained profile from the close showing, highlighting depth in women’s featherweight ranks and the commercial pull of MVP’s social-first events.
