MVP Promotions kicked off 2026 with a solid boxing card, headlined by a championship showcase and a high-profile co-main event. The night featured standout performances from Amanda Serrano and Holly Holm, setting the tone early in the year with competitive, fan-friendly action.
Serrano set the tone early, pushing the pace behind constant pressure, clean counters, and sharp body work. Fighting at a smart distance, she consistently found openings while Tellez fired back with solid shots of her own. The momentum briefly shifted in Round 3, when Tellez opened up with her best stretch of the fight, landing effective punches to both the head and body and forcing Serrano to respond.
As the bout wore on, Serrano’s body shots began to take a clear toll, even as Tellez showed resilience and found success in the later rounds, swelling Serrano’s right eye with repeated shots. In the final round, Serrano stepped on the gas, unleashing crisp combinations to the head and body while pressing for a stoppage, punctuating a strong finish to the main event.
