Serrano overwhelmed Hanson and compelled a referee stoppage at 2:25 of round two within the co-main event of MVPW-03.
The seven-division world champion spent the opening round studying Hanson before increasing the pressure dramatically within the second. Serrano backed the challenger toward the ropes and unloaded combos that Hanson couldn’t answer. After absorbing a sustained attack, the referee stepped in to halt the competition.
The victory improved Serrano’s record to 49-4-1 with 32 knockouts, while Hanson fell to 17-3.
After the fight, Serrano credited the three-minute rounds for helping her break down opponents more effectively.
“I would like to first thank Cheyenne for taking the fight. She’s a compulsory. She got here to fight. She got here to win,” Serrano said. “The three minutes we get to establish our shots. The primary round I used to be attempting to figure her out, attempting to land my shots. Once I went to the corner, I told Jordan, ‘I got it.’ I used to be just feeling her out. I got it now.”
Serrano added that the prolonged rounds allow fighters more opportunities to create offense.
“I feel the three minutes give us more time to have a good time in here. That’s what I used to be doing. I used to be having fun.”
The knockout also moved Serrano level with Martin atop the ladies’s boxing record books, a milestone she acknowledged immediately after the bout.
“I can break it in the following one,” Serrano said when asked about surpassing Martin’s mark. “I can do the fiftieth and break it in the following one. Let’s go. That’s the goal.”
The performance got here in front of the most important combat sports crowd ever hosted on the El Paso County Coliseum. Serrano thanked fans for supporting women’s boxing and helping elevate the game.
“That is what we want for the game to grow. Sell out arenas. Not only for me. I’m so pleased that ladies can sell out, and we’re showing, proving day after day, fight after fight, that we will sell out. Fans need to see us,” Serrano said.
At 37 years old, Serrano stays undefeated at featherweight and continues adding to a record that already places her amongst essentially the most achieved fighters in women’s boxing history. Yet another victory could deliver two more milestones: her fiftieth skilled win and sole possession of the all-time women’s knockout record.
