Skye Falzon

Bio

Right then, Skye Falzon is the Australian who has been picked to share the ring with Amanda Serrano in the Puerto Rican legend's final fight, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan on 9 January.

Her story is a proper one. Falzon lost two of her first three professional fights, then won eleven in a row. That run included five straight stoppages before a unanimous decision win in September. She is 12-2 with seven knockouts and, like Serrano, she is 38.

By all accounts she cried when the offer came in, and I love that. She has earned this night the hard way.

Let's not beat around the bush, though. Serrano is levels above anyone Falzon has faced, and my prediction is a Serrano stoppage. But Falzon will be fighting with nothing to lose, and that makes her dangerous.
