This will be the standard moving forward, if Amanda Serrano gets her way.

The undisputed featherweight champion added another chapter to her already historic career, with a twelve-round shutout win over Danila Ramos. Their title consolidation bout was the first for women since 2007 to take place under twelve, three-minute rounds and the first to go that full distance.

More of the same should be expected for anyone who wants to challenge the legendary Boricua southpaw.

“I think it will be going backwards if my next fight is ten rounds, two minutes,” Serrano told BoxingScene.com. “I can’t see making a statement here with what we want to achieve and then just go back to the way things were.”

Serrano (46-2-1, 30KOs) made it look easy in her win, as she threw a career-high 1,103 punches as she won every round on all three scorecards (120-108 across the board) in their DAZN-aired main event Friday from Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando.

The win over Ramos (12-3, 1KO) saw Serrano defend her lineal, WBA, IBF and WBO featherweight crown. The WBA, IBF and WBO–along with the Florida boxing commission—allowed the fight to move forward with those terms since the terms were agreed upon by both boxers.  

The WBC belt was not at stake, since the Mexico City-based sanctioning body will not endorse any women’s bout beyond the traditional ten, two-minute round format.

It could prove to be an issue if Serrano is ordered to face interim WBC featherweight titlist Skye Nicolson (8-0, 0KOs), who defends her secondary belt versus Lucy Wildheart on November 25 in Dublin. The 2020 Olympic quarterfinalist for Australia hasn’t exactly joined the movement for women to fight under the same terms as men; rather, she committed to face Serrano “under whatever ruling the WBC implements.”

That is a bridge that Serrano will cross once she is at that point in her career. For now, the continued goal is to raise the bar in the sport to which the 35-year-old has dedicated her entire adult life.

“I think I really enjoyed the three minutes,” Serrano said after her latest victory. “I was able to set up a little more of my punches. And I think I'm gonna continue with the three minutes. And I know the women out there, they saw that it's possible, that we can do it. And me and Daniela, we showed that we're capable.

“I think there's gonna be a lot of women out there that are gonna say, yes, they did it, now I can do it. I think I see a lot more exciting fights as well.”
