Amanda Serrano makes history with 12-round women's boxing title defense

Posted : 28 October 2023
Amanda Serrano achieved a historic milestone in women's boxing as she successfully defended her featherweight titles against Danila Ramos in a unanimous decision. This marked a groundbreaking moment as it was the first time since 2007 that women had the opportunity to compete in a title fight lasting as long as their male counterparts, with Serrano emerging victorious after 12 intense three-minute rounds.
 
Traditionally, women's boxing matches are limited to 10 two-minute rounds, making this extended contest a notable departure from the norm. Serrano, aged 35, expressed her perspective on the longer duration, stating that she "really couldn't feel the difference." She emphasized her rigorous training and determination to prove that women can excel in the sport, regardless of the round duration.
 
Notably, Serrano's WBC title was not at stake in this unique bout, as the sanctioning body from Mexico City did not endorse extending round lengths in women's boxing, citing "health and safety" concerns. Advocates for three-minute rounds argue that the increased time in the ring can lead to more knockouts and create a more captivating spectacle.
 
Ramos, a Brazilian fighter, recognized the significance of being part of this historic contest and expressed her commitment to promoting equality and women's rights. Although the match extended for the full 36 minutes, with Serrano winning all 12 rounds, the fight marked a significant step forward in women's boxing, echoing the achievements of pioneers like Layla McCarter, who contested 12 three-minute rounds in 2007.
