Amanda Serrano stopped Cheyenne Hanson in defense of her unified featherweight titles in the second round and tied Christy Martin's record for most knockouts in women's boxing history with her 32nd stoppage win.
The fight served as the co-main event of MVPW-03, headlined by Stephanie Han vs. Holly Holm 2 at the El Paso County Coliseum.
"This is my time," said Serrano. "With the three minutes we get to set up shots. I was feeling her out in the first round. But I think the three minutes gave us more time to have fun in there and that's what I was doing, I was having fun."
Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs) steamrolled Hanson (17-3) with ease, opening the fight on her front foot and clearly in pursuit of the knockout. Serrano told ESPN earlier in the week that 2026 would likely be the last year that she competes as a professional and was targeting Martin's record that was set in 2005.
It didn't take long for Serrano to break through with her offense as Hanson opted to stand and trade with her. Serrano stepped on the gas in Round 2, bludgeoning her opponent with vicious accuracy, landing 29 of 53 power punches. Hanson attempted to hold her ground but was overwhelmed and stopped at the 2:25 mark.
The win sets up the opportunity for Serrano to collect two milestones in her next fight, which she plans to have later this year.
"I can break the knockout record in my next fight," Serrano said. "I can get my 50th win and break Christy Martin's knockout record."
