Serrano is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in female boxing history. At 35, she has done it all. You can look at her 9 major titles across 7 weight classes, and you can laud her for what she has achieved inside the ring. The Puerto Rican fighter’s dedication and focus have separated her from the rest, and she boasts an impressive record of 46-2 with 30 KOs. In addition, she has built a reputation as a knockout artist among the fans with her aggressive style and power, and her KO ratio of 65% also paints a similar picture. She tries to pack more power behind her punches, as she tries to overcome the deficit in size, as she stands tall at 5’5″ (166 cm) and carries a reach of 65.5″ (166 cm). But her size never proved to impede her meteoric rise.

So, how can Morgan deal with the featherweight champion? At 35, she is a late entrant to the sport, making her debut only a couple of years ago. But the American boxer bludgeoned every opponent she faced and quickly raced up to the record of 14-1 with 13 KOs. The heavy-handed boxer muscled her way to victories, and her KO ratio of 93% has turned heads, billing her as an exciting and explosive fighter. That’s not it. She also has an iron will. When Morgan dropped the only fight of her career, a close majority decision to veteran Calista Silgado, she bounced back strongly and uprooted her next 6 opponents, never going past the second round.
The Florida native has fearsome power, and you add to the mix her frightening and towering presence at 5’8″ (173 cm), and you have the perfect recipe for killing giants of the sport. She also carries the weight advantage, as the fight will be fought at 140, and she is a solid lightweight fighter, making a weight of 134.5 lbs (61.0 kg) in her fight. Compared to that, Serrano is making a jump of two divisions and last fought at featherweight, with scales tipping at 125.3 lbs (56.8 kg). Will Morgan’s size, weight, and power advantage allow her to pull off an upset for ages?

Serrano is using the Morgan fight to set up and prepare for the rematch with Katie Taylor. She wants to test her endurance, power, and weight by coming into the fight. The Carolina resident’s attention and the combination of her power and hooks make her a deadly force inside the ring. But what truly edges her ahead of others is her experience. With a career spanning 15 years and close to 50 fights under her belt, she has gone against foes of every size and style in 7 different weight classes. ‘The Real Deal’ prefers to trade with someone who stands still, and that’s what Morgan does.

‘Sledgehammer’ lacks the experience to go all the way with Serrano, and that’s what makes all the difference. But she has every weapon in her arsenal to sneak out a win, including her ambidextrous ability to knock out any competitor with either a right or a left. Her extra power and weight advantage might prove dangerous, too. The fans will find out whether it will be enough or not.
