WBC/WBO female featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (43-2-1, 30 KOs) added the IBF title of previously unbeaten Sarah Mahfoud (11-1, 3 KOs) with a one-sided ten round unanimous decision on Saturday night in the Joyce-Parker co-feature at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. Serrano was simply better in every category of a forgettable bout. Scores were 99-92, 97-93, 97-93.

Joe Joyce has an anvil for a chin
Serrano dominant as usual but i think she needs to start throwing better combination punching
I gotta be honest by saying that I’m a little disappointed with Serrano’s performance. She looked slow, deliberate and kept throwing the same combos over and over again. More importantly, her jab was nonexistent!! In a couple of exchanges she actually looked a little shook as well. I’m starting to wonder if her odometer is nearing its end?? She’s been a pro since 2009 and from what I understand she spars quite a bit! She’s an All Time great! Would love for her to have just a few more big money fights (Thanks Jake!) and call it a day!
I think she has lost a step and that’s fine. She’ll be 34 in a minute. There’s still, for the moment at least, only a few fighters who even trouble her and none of them are below 130. And Sarah Mahfoud isn’t as good as Serrano is, but she is a pretty good fighter.
I just wonder how much longer she’ll continue to stay in the game! Even the Amanda of a couple of years ago would’ve starched Mahfoud! I’m also concerned that she’ll employ this coming forward style at all cost and get herself beat up at the end of her career. I’d like to see her actually box a lot more instead of stalking so much
