(JAN 28) VERONA, NY—This Saturday
night at the beautiful Turning Stone Casino and Resort in
Verona, New York, undefeated female featherweight, Amanda
Serrano will look to “avenge” her only career blemish when she
takes on Ela Nunez in a six round bout.
The main event will feature a ten round heavyweight battle for
the WBC Caribbean Heavyweight championship between former U.S.
Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada and Franklin Lawrence. The
fight card will be streamed all over the world LIVE on
gofightlive.tv.
Serrano and Nunez fought to a toe to toe draw back on November
20, 2009 in Atlantic City.
Serrano of Brooklyn, New York has a record of 7-0-1 with four
knockouts, knows the first fight was an aberration and will look
to not only win but emphatically on Saturday.
“I took the first fight on short notice”, said Serrano.
“I only knew about for a week. This fight will be different as I
am training much harder and there will be no surprises.”
Serrano was influenced by her sister, former two-time title
challenger Cindy Serrano, who herself is 15-3-1.
“I was in the gym all day watching her. I just wanted to fight
and then I won the Golden Gloves. She is my best sparring
partner and she always gives me hints to help me improve.”
“I take this sport seriously and would someday want to be the
face of woman’s boxing”, said the twenty-two year old Serrano.
Since the draw with Nunez, Serrano has won three in a row which
includes her last bout when she scored a fourth round stoppage
over Jennifer Encarncion on September 18th in the Dominican
Republic.
Nunez of Jamestown, New York has a record of 9-7-1 with two
knockouts.
Nunez has been in with the top woman boxers in the world such as

In the co-feature, Isaac Rodriguez (17-1, 13 KO’s) of West
Berlin, NJ via Brazil will look to get back in the win column
after his pro defeat will take on upset minded Jose Medina of
Tilton, New Hampshire.
Medina steps in for Russell Jordan who was injured in training.
Medina has a record of 12-9 with five knockouts.
