“Just Like It Is in MMA”: Comparing Amanda Serrano’s Record Punches With Canelo Alvarez, Jake Paul Demands Same Rule for Women Boxing

In their unique ways, Amanda Serrano and Danila Ramos recognized the need for a new era in women’s boxing. Serrano proposed the idea of three-minute rounds, and Ramos embraced the challenge of fighting the undisputed featherweight champion. In a sold-out 3,500-seat ballroom in Florida, Serrano and Ramos chose to fight 12, three-minute rounds instead of the traditional 10, two-minute rounds for women’s title fights.

The impact of their decision extended beyond the match’s outcome. Serrano’s unanimous decision victory, retaining her IBF, WBO, and WBA titles was not as significant for them as the revolutionary step that they both had taken. Just a few weeks ago, Jermell Charlo has taken up the herculean task of beating Canelo Alvarez, the super middleweight champion. However, all Charlo managed to do was survive the fight before taking a loss. Jake Paul, Serrano’s constant support in the endeavor, has compared the two fights while proposing a new change. Let us find out.

Jake Paul calls for monumental changes after Amanda Seranno-Danila Ramos fight

The influencer-boxer has recently reposted a post on his story comparing the punches landed and the accuracy of the two bouts. The Serrano-Ramos fight saw 1949 punches, of which they landed 458. The accuracy remained 23.5%. In the Canelo-Charlo fight, the fighters threw 783 punches and landed 205, while accuracy was  26.2%. Paul drew the attention of fans to this.

He wrote “let’s make championship boxing the same for men and women, the way it is in MMA” calling for reforms in women’s boxing. MMA follows the same rules for both men and women. Paul wants to change the face of women’s boxing by creating a level playing field. Serrano and Ramos have taken the first step. Now, it is up to the rest of the female boxers to decide whether to tread on the same path or not.

Are the changes being welcomed?

Chantelle Cameron, the undisputed junior welterweight champion, advocated for her November rematch against Taylor to feature three-minute rounds. However, the fight will ultimately consist of 10, two-minute rounds. Cameron expressed her desire for three-minute round fights in the future.
