Amanda Serrano and Jake Paul: The Road to Choliseo
Amanda Serrano created history last year by fighting a 12-round (of three minutes each) bout against Danila Ramos. It was her second undisputed title defense. But some time later, she had to relinquish her WBC belt on account of the sanctioning body’s stand on 12-round fights for women. The bout with Meinke will be another twelve-rounder for the Puerto Rican champion.
