Amanda Serrano takes inspiration from Terence Crawford
At the age of 38, Ramos has participated in three “interim” title bouts during her career. She faced a unanimous decision loss to Elhem Mekhaled for the WBC interim junior lightweight title in 2019 and later experienced a split decision defeat to Katharina Thanderz for the same title in the same year. However, she managed to secure victory against Carabajal for the “interim” WBO Featherweight title in August.
“Bud” successfully defended his Welterweight title five times and his wins include matches against Jose Benavidez Jr., Amir Khan, Egidijus Kavaliauskas, Kell Brook, and Shawn Porter. The upcoming bout will be Serrano’s 4th title defence. She is eager to catch up to Crawford. “I’m Finally here in The Dominican Republic at the @WorldBoxingOrg convention with my buddy & partner in Fighter of the yr the 1 & Only @terencecrawford. He has the record of 5 times I’m closing in w/4 lol. Always a pleasure sharing with this Legend BUD Crawford “ said the first undisputed Puerto Rican Champion on her X account
Changing the women’s boxing landscape
Serrano, the undisputed Featherweight champion, is set to defend her three world titles against the mandatory WBO challenger, Ramos on October 27 in Orlando, Florida. This historic bout will feature 12 three-minute rounds instead of the standard 10 two-minute rounds. This will mark the first women’s unified championship fight conducted under men’s regulations. The step-up is a major one. Such a change could boost women’s boxing’s appeal significantly. It’s important to note that shorter fight times can lead to fewer stoppages and knockouts, elements celebrated in the sport and often utilized for publicity. The new regulations take care of this drawback.
As Serrano lauds Crawford for being one of the best, she is making history herself. With an indomitable spirit, she pulls women’s boxing forward with her. How do you think this unconventional fight will go down
