After all the trash talk, Stevie Morgan finally entered the ring, and ended up being Amanda Serrano’s bag. Serrano, never one to shy away from a fight, charged like a bull, while Morgan tried his best to keep up. Serrano didn’t let up, landing heavy punches that surprisingly cracked Morgan’s head. By the end of the round, it was clear that Morgan was in deep water, thanks to the short two minute laps. The scorecard read Serrano 10, Morgan 9—a good score for Morgan, given the conditions.
Round 2: No steel could save Morgan this time. Serrano came out swinging, determined to end things early. He embarrassed Morgan, who had no time to defend himself, let alone land any significant strikes. The referee, seeing enough of the one-sided demolition, stepped in and stopped the fight, giving Serrano the victory via knockout. Morgan, stunned, may need to rethink those pre-fight words next time.
Lucas Bahdi finally put Ashton Sylve in his place with a quick knockout, ending the fight in the sixth round. It was as if Bahdi remembered he had another place to be, delivering a punch that sent Sylve packing and the crowd—perhaps out of panic rather than joy.
Meanwhile, Corey Marksman knocked out Tony Aguilar in what can only be described as a glorified dance with punches. The judges didn’t seem to agree on what they were seeing, leading to a majority decision with scores all scratching their heads—76-76, 77-75, and 78-74. Marksman may have won, but no one seemed too sure, including the judges.
Then there’s Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who decided to go the distance with Uriah Hall, getting a unanimous decision in what can best be described as a tactical snooze-fest. Scoring 59-55, 59-55, and 58-56, Chavez Jr. managed to keep everyone a little interested without risking too much, sticking to the script and avoiding any real drama. Hall, bless his heart, tried to keep up but ended up with one more belt left on Chavez’s belt of caution.
