Alycia Baumgardner retained her WBA, IBF, and WBO super featherweight titles against Leila Beaudoin in a unanimous decision, 117-110, 117-110, and 118-109, as you can see how the fight played out live. 

The co-main event represented a historic moment for women’s boxing, as both fighters agreed to compete under the “men’s championship ruleset” of 12 rounds at three minutes each. Baumgardner made the bold decision to vacate her WBC title after the sanctioning body refused to authorize the three-minute round format for women.

Alycia entered the ring following a unanimous decision win over Jennifer Miranda in July. Meanwhile, Beaudoin had won four straight fights. In June, she secured a sixth-round TKO victory over former champion Elhem Mekhaled. For Beaudoin, it was a chance to pull off one of the biggest upsets in Canadian boxing history. However, she came up short.
