Amanda Serrano captures NABF super featherweight title PhilBoxing.com Wed, 15 Jun 2011 NEW YORK (June 14, 2011) ? Unbeaten, 22-year-old Amanda ?The Real Deal? Serrano captured the vacant NABF super featherweight title, stopping Jennifer Scott at 1:46 of the opening round, last Saturday night at historic Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Serrano (10-0-1, 6 KOs), a native of Puerto Rico who lives in Brooklyn, was fighting at home in New York City for the first time as a professional. ?It was awesome,? the stylish southpaw spoke about fighting at home and winning her first title belt. ?I felt it when my music started playing as I walked to the ring. I heard everybody yelling my name and I could feel the blood go from my toes to my head. It was extra special because I won my first title, in New York City, in front of my father (Ismael) who was watching me fight for the first time as a pro. ?From the first punch I knew I had my opponent, so I kept putting pressure on her. I dropped her and when she got up, I knew she hadn?t recovered, and I jumped on her. I?m not sure what?s next for me. I?ll fight anybody my promoter, Boxing 360, and manager put in front of me. I always train hard and will be ready for my next fight.? Amanda is presently rated No. 4 by independent source WBAN, as well as No. 6 by the WIBA. Boxing 360 Founder/CEO Mario Yagobi doesn?t want to rush his budding star. ?She?s a young fighter who hasn?t fought eight rounds, yet,? he explained. ?She needs ring experience. She?s a great prospect. She was very exciting for the minute or two this fight lasted, but the fans really loved her. I believe she?s going to be a big ticket seller in New York City. Within a year, she will be ready to fight anybody in the world but, for now, she has a belt she can defend and gain valuable experience. Boxing is Amanda?s world. All she does is box and her time is coming.? ?Amanda looked good,? Boxing 360 Director of Boxing Bob Duffy commented. ?She was very impressive. Both women came into the fight in great shape. Amanda?s young and talented. She was fired-up for this fight, fighting for national pride on a Puerto Rican celebration card.?

Moore, former IBF super middleweight champion Alejandro ?Naco? Berrio, WBC Caribbean & NY State super middleweight champion Lennox ?2 Sharpe? Allen Dominican lightweight champion Eudy ?AK47?
