Amanda Serrano has undoubtedly etched her name among boxing greats. She bears an impressive 41-1-1 record, with her only defeat being against former WBC super-featherweight champion Frida Wallberg in 2012. Wallberg was an undefeated fighter of Swedish descent, coming off her first WBC female super-featherweight title defense against Canada's Olivia Gerula.
'The Golden Girl' crossed paths with Amanda Serrano after the Puerto Rican obtained a lopsided win over Ela Nunez in February 2012. They met on Wallberg's home turf at the Cloetta Center in Sweden on April 27, 2012.
The fight was nothing short of a spectacle. Both women displayed an absolute striking masterclass throughout the bout. Both had their moments in the fight, with Serrano pressing the action in the final rounds.
After a hard-fought 10-round war, the judges ruled the bout in Frida Wallberg's favor (96-94, 97-93, and 98-92). Serrano pledged to bounce back from the decision loss in her post-fight interview.
Catch highlights of the fight below:
“I gave it my all,” said Amanda Serrano. “I know I landed some good shots in the fight and I'm not ashamed of my performance. Frida Wallberg is a great fighter and I take nothing away from her victory. I'm going to bounce back from this bump in the road and work my way back to the top. I want to thank all my fans who've been there for me and I promise I'll be back.”
Serrano kept her word. She went on a tear in the featherweight division and claimed the WBO, WBC and IBO female featherweight titles.
