Boxing is back in 2026 with a bang, as Most Valuable Promotions kicked off the year with a solid card headlined by Amanda Serrano in the main event. While the spotlight was expected up top, the undercard drew major attention with Holly Holm stepping into a high-stakes title fight that added real weight to the night.
Stephanie Han set the tone early, starting fast with right hands while Holly Holm focused on distance, using her jab and straight left to settle into the fight. As the rounds progressed, Han consistently found a home for the right hand and stayed aggressive, while Holm answered by doubling her left and closing Round 2 strong with a sharp combination.
Han’s momentum peaked in the third, where a clean right hand snapped Holm’s head back and allowed her to control exchanges with effective counters.
The middle rounds were tightly contested. Holm opened Round 4 with a crisp lead right, but Han responded with combinations to the head and body, leading to steady back-and-forth exchanges.
Han continued to mix in body jabs, right hands, and a sharp left hook in Round 5, edging another competitive round.
Round 6 remained close, with Han countering cleanly and Holm finding success with her lead left. In the seventh, Holm increased her movement and output, but a headbutt opened a cut on Han, forcing the doctor to stop the fight at 1:44 of the round.
