The Brooklyn-based Serrano has faced 11 current or former world titlists throughout her 12-year career, and the Mexican Mercado (18-2, 5 KOs) proved capable of challenging her hot streak. Serrano outslugged Mercado 160 to 95 in punches by using a ripping body attack, totaling 65 landed shots to the solar plexus. Mercado moved up in weight to fight Serrano, and her lack of size did not allow her to fend off her opponent. With the win, Serrano (40-1-1, 30 KOs) retained her WBC, WBO and IBO featherweight championships. Serrano won her 27th consecutive fight and continued her 10-year unbeaten streak with scores of 99-91, 98-92, 97-93 against Mercado.
Seven-division world champion Amanda Serrano kept her crown as one of the greatest female fighters of all time by defeating Yamileth Mercado via a unanimous decision in the co-main event.
