IBF Female World Super Featherweight Champion Amanda Serrano and Ela Nunez went toe to toe for every second of all eight rounds, to take the early lead as "Fight of The Year" in front of a very animated, sold out crowd from Cicero Stadium Friday Night.
Serrano started the fight in total control; landing multi-punch combinations to batter Nunez around the ring for the first round, in which appeared to be the start of a one-sided fight. However, Nunez proved at the start of the second that this fight would be a war by landing her own bombs as the fight transformed into a slugfest for the remainder of the contest.
Both fighters landed hard shots throughout the fight drawing a standing ovation from the crowd after each round. The action was intense and the heart that both fighters displayed was second to none. This was the fourth time these two warriors have met in the ring and each time, fans have been treated with Robinson-LaMotta and Gatti-Ward like performances.
In the end, with both fighters donning similar swollen faces, two of the three judges scored the fight 78-74 while the third had it 77-75 all in favor of Amanda Serrano who improved to 14-0-1. Ella Nunez drops to 12-12-2.
