Serrano and Baumgardner win

Amanda Serrano (44-2-1, 30 KOs) won by unanimous decision over Erika Cruz (15-2, 3 KOs) in the main event of the evening in New York, and unified four featherweight championship belts. After ten rounds, the judges scored the meeting in her favor with a score of 97-93 and twice 98-92.

The duel proceeded at a fast pace. The first rounds were equal, but then the Puerto Rican began to tip the advantage in her favor. In the third round, Cruz suffered a cut on her forehead after an unintentional headbutt. Despite this, until the sixth round, she confidently went forward, until Serrano managed to noticeably shake her.

With this win, Serrano now holds the IBF, WBA, WBO and WBC titles. After the fight, it was officially announced that the rematch between the Puerto Rican and Katie Taylor would take place on May 20 in Dublin.

Within the same evening Alicia Baumgardner (14-1, 7 KOs) won by unanimous decision Elhem Mekhaled (15-2, 3 KOs), unifying four championship belts in the second featherweight division. A boxer from France was knocked down twice in the third round. After the final gong, the judges counted 98-90 and twice 99-89 in favor of the American.
