Interesting Facts Before the Fight:
A truly intriguing fight. Serrano faces an opponent who has advantages in height and reach.
Amanda last won by stoppage in 2021 with a 9th round KO. Morgan has knocked out all her opponents except for the one she lost to by decision. Her longest fight, apart from the loss, lasted 5 rounds.
The only fighter to beat Morgan, Colombian Calixta Silgado, is even shorter than Serrano by 1 cm and has a 10 cm shorter reach. It was Silgado’s last career fight.
Of course, the average level of opposition and experience of Amanda Serrano is significantly higher than that of her opponent. But she needs to be extremely cautious at the start – Morgan starts strong and often finishes fights in mere minutes.
If Serrano wins, she will fight Katie Taylor in the undercard of the Paul vs. Tyson fight in the fall of 2024. This tournament will be broadcast by Netflix.
