      This will be the 18th world champ that Braekhus beats easily.

      McCaskill went to absolute war with Farias twice, Braekhus boxed Farias' face off. And Braekhus is just too big.

      This is a decent stay-busy for Braekhus while she awaits the Taylor-Serrano winner.

        Where is the love for the First Lady?

        17-0-0-0 against world champions
        26-0-0-0 in 2 belt world title fights
        23-0-0-0 in 3 belt world title fights
        11-0-0-0 in 4 belt undisputed title fights
        9-0-0-0 in 5 belt undisputed title fights (big 4+IBO)
        Wins against likely HOFers like Anne Sophie Mathis (twice), Myriam Lamare, Mia St John, Erica Farias, and Chevelle Hallback
        Sent Holly Holm running out of the 147 pound division and then the entire sport of boxing when the WBC ordered the fight

        If she wins this fight she'll have defended her WBA/WBC welterweight title more times than any fighter in any weight class or gender has defended any major (Big 4, lineal, Ring) title. Obviously there can't be a 1:1 comparison between male and female boxers for a variety of reasons, no it's not an equivalent accomplishment to Joe Louis' 25 consecutive heavyweight title defenses, but it's still worthy of recognition.

        Braekhus didn't cherry pick weak champions at different weight classes just to collect belts. She didn't vacate any belts to avoid tough challengers. She's been in the same division defending the same belts for over 10 years now.

        Even if someone beats her before she retires (she's 38 now), she's still the greatest female fighter of all time.

          Excellent fight

          Jessica McCaskill was robbed against Katie Taylor. I am not going to underestimate her in this fight, but I see the First Lady Cecilia box this one, If she not age that night. I hope those 38 years old don't affect her performance.

            Another cherry pick from a lower weight division. This is exactly why Amanda Serrano is considered the #1 P4P queen of women's boxing.

              Wow, huge fan of McCaskill but this is a big step up.


              Rather she get the deserved rematch against Taylor.

                This is a joke of a post.

                This is the 18th world champion that Braekhus has faced, about half of whom won belts ABOVE 147.

                Serrano has faced 8 champions in 4 more fights.

                  #1 P4P isn't a career achievement award. Otherwise Manny Pacquiao would be P4P #1 in boxing right now.

                  Braekhus is 38 years old. Amanda Serrano is at the peak of her powers right now.

                    Again, 8 champions beaten in 40 fights for Serrano, plus a loss and a draw.

                    Braekhus has beaten 9 champions in her last 10 fights.
