Amanda Serrano retained her unified featherweight titles (WBO and WBA) against Reina Tellez in a unanimous decision (98-92, 97-93, 97-93), as you can see how the fight played out live. 

The homecoming in Puerto Rico marked a major reset for Serrano, who moved back down to her natural weight class after two losses to rival Katie Taylor at super lightweight. Serrano’s original opponent Erika Cruz was forced to withdraw due to an “atypical finding” in a VADA drug test for clenbuterol, allowing the 22-year-old Tellez to step in. Fighting under her preferred standard of three-minute rounds, Serrano used that extra minute in each round to break down the younger, less experienced Tellez.
