- Amanda Serrano (50-4-1, 32 KOs) has her final fight against Australia's Skye Falzon (12-2, 7 KOs) on 9 January at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, live on DAZN, with her WBA, WBO and Ring featherweight titles on the line
- Unbeaten Oscar Collazo (15-0, 12 KOs) will defend his lineal and WBA strawweight title in the co-feature, with his opponent still to be named
- My view: Serrano stops Falzon in the second half to take the women's knockout record, and Collazo looks brilliant back at 105lbs
Serrano vs Falzon: The Last Walk
Right then, this is a night Puerto Rico will not forget. Amanda Serrano has her final fight against Australian Skye Falzon on 9 January at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan. Serrano vs Falzon is billed as The Last Walk, it is a Most Valuable Promotions card and it is live on DAZN over twelve three-minute rounds.
Now Golden Boy has teamed up with MVP to add Oscar Collazo in the co-feature. Two Puerto Rican stars on the Serrano vs Falzon card in San Juan. Proper.
Serrano vs Falzon: How They Got Here
Serrano vs Falzon: The Legend
Serrano is 50-4-1 with 32 knockouts, a seven-division world champion and, make no mistake, one of the greatest fighters the women's game has ever produced. She is 38 and puts her WBA, WBO and Ring featherweight titles on the line. Her last outing was a majority decision over Lucrecia Manzur in August. One more knockout would be the 33rd of her career and give her a share of the all-time record for knockouts in women's boxing.
Serrano vs Falzon: The Challenger
Falzon is 12-2 with seven knockouts and is also 38. She lost two of her first three fights, then won eleven on the bounce, including five straight stoppages before a unanimous decision in September. By all accounts she cried when the Serrano vs Falzon offer came in. Good luck to her. She has earned the shot.
Collazo Is Back At Strawweight
Collazo is 15-0 with 12 knockouts and the lineal and WBA strawweight champion. He was meant to move up and face Ricardo Sandoval in October, but a rib injury forced him out. He has since vacated his WBO belt rather than face his Japanese mandatory challenger. I would have liked to see that fight, but there is no doubt he is levels above most of the division.
Serrano vs Falzon Prediction
Let's not beat around the bush. Falzon is tough and she will be fighting for her life, but Serrano is levels above her. The southpaw volume, the body work and the occasion will be too much. My prediction for Serrano vs Falzon is Serrano by stoppage between rounds six and nine, taking the record in front of her own people. Collazo to win inside the distance against whoever they put in front of him.
