Amanda Serrano tied Christy Martin's all time knockout record; Stephanie Han held back a charging Holly Holm to win a narrow decision Saturday.

Serrano back in action to defend title vs. Hanson in co-feature

We officially have a women’s WBA lightweight title fight Saturday night on ESPN, as champion Stephanie Han (12-0, 3 KOs) and her opponent Holly Holm (34-3-3, 9 KOs) both came in under the division’s 135-pound limit on Friday afternoon. This rematch will be interesting, as Han is the 3-1 betting favorite to come out victorious over the veteran Holm. If Holm can come out victorious, then the big money fight within MVP is the one with Amanda Serrano, who also happens to be on the card. Will we get an upset, or will Han be too much for Holm live on ESPN?

Most Valuable Promotions returns with its third event under its new deal with ESPN, which will feature women headlining the cards. Saturday’s event is topped by a rematch in which WBA lightweight champion Stephanie Han (12-0, 3 KOs) faces Holly Holm (34-3-3, 9 KOs) in a scheduled 10-round bout. They initially faced each other in January, but the fight was stopped in the seventh round due to an accidental headbutt. The fight went to the scorecards, awarding Han the technical decision victory. Now Holm has another opportunity at a world title, with the hope that a headbutt doesn’t get in the way.

ESPN hands the spotlight over to top women's boxing champions with the Most Valuable Promotions MVPW03 card on Saturday night.
