Boxing Life of Two Sisters

Amanda won the inaugural International Boxing Federation Super Featherweight title with a second round stoppage over Kimberly Connor, who had not lost a fight in seven years. In the second round, Serrano began landing power shots to the head, sending Connor to the canvas on her back midway through the round. Connor beat the count, but appeared helpless on the ropes as Serrano immediately battered her senseless and defenseless with numerous power shots to the head, forcing referee Benjy Esteves Jr. to stop the contest. The rounds were two minute rounds, and the bout was scheduled for ten. According to Boxing 360 CEO Mario Yagobi negotiations are underway for Serrano to fight an IBF-WBC unification match with WBC female Super Featherweight champion Frida Wallberg
