- Background: Serrano, a native of Puerto Rico who lives in Brooklyn, has won nine world titles across seven divisions (between 115 and 140 pounds). She’ll be defending two 126-pound belts on Thursday at Plaza del Quinto Centenario in Old San Juan. The southpaw has won 25 consecutive fights – 20 by knockout — since losing a decision to Frida Wallberg back in 2012. She fought last on Dec. 16, when she stopped Dahiana Santana in the first round. Bermudez currently holds bantamweight and junior featherweight titles, meaning she’s attempting to hold belts in three divisions simultaneously. The Argentine also is on a hot streak, having gone 13-0-1 since he was outpointed by Yesica Bopp in 2014. She stopped Cintia Castillo in 10 rounds on Dec. 4.
