Amanda Serrano Outpoints Reina Tellez in Puerto Rico to Retain WBA and WBO Featherweight Titles

With late-replacement Reina Tellez missing weight, the 10-round, three-minute bout left Serrano’s belts safe regardless of the result.

Overview

  • Serrano won by unanimous decision with official scorecards of 98-92, 97-93, and 97-93.
  • The hometown main event at San Juan’s Coliseo Roberto Clemente marked Serrano’s first fight in Puerto Rico since 2021.
  • Tellez was 0.6 pounds over the 126-pound limit at the weigh-in, making her ineligible to capture the WBA and WBO titles.
  • The bout went the distance, leaving Serrano short of tying Christy Martin’s women’s knockout record of 32.
  • Tellez stepped in after Erika Cruz was removed for an atypical VADA finding, and the three-minute rounds renewed discussion about round length in elite women’s boxing.
