Amanda Serrano Vs Nina Meinke Prediction: A tight fight for Serrano against Nina Meinke

Amanda Serrano is heading back to her hometown to step into the ring against Nina Meinke in the featherweight division. The match will take place at El Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Serrano will be defending her IBF, WBO, and WBA World Female Featherweight titles. She decided to give up her WBC title because the organization didn't support three-minute rounds and 12-round bouts for women. Serrano's last fight was in October, where she dominated mandatory challenger Danila Ramos of Brazil over 12 three-minute rounds. You can catch the 12-round showdown live on DAZN in many countries. As for Meinke, she last fought in October, defeating Laura Ledezma with a clear 10-round unanimous decision for the IBF Inter-Continental Featherweight Belt.

Serrano has been in the ring since April 2014, and she's only tasted defeat once. That loss came in a close split decision against Katie Taylor, the undisputed lightweight champion, in a memorable bout in 2022. But since then, Serrano has bounced back with four consecutive wins, all in the featherweight category. With a record of 46 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, including 30 knockouts, at the age of 35, she's one of the most accomplished female fighters ever. Throughout her career, she's claimed nine world titles across seven different weight classes. Recently, Serrano decided to take on longer fights, opting for the standard 12 rounds, just like the men do. However, this move cost her the WBC title, as the organization wasn't ready to extend its women's fights at the time. Nonetheless, Serrano continues to push boundaries and make her mark in the world of boxing.

Nina Meinke turned pro in 2016. The German lost against Katie Taylor early in her career but won the European featherweight title in 2019 against Helene Lascombe. She lost to Sarah Mahfoud in 2022 for the IBF featherweight title and has since won six in a row. Meinke’s first defeat came in 2017 when she was stopped by Katie Taylor in the seventh round. She then dropped a 10-round split decision to Elina Tissen a year later and lost her WIBF featherweight belt, which she won in her previous fight with a unanimous decision over Vissia Trovato. Her last defeat came at the hands of Sarah Mahfoud by unanimous decision in April 2022 in a shot at the IBF featherweight title.

Serrano's style is a hit among fans because she's an exciting and fierce fighter with plenty of power. She stands out as one of the best female boxers, and she's not shy about unleashing her punches. While Meinke is a formidable opponent, Serrano surpasses her in experience, strength, speed, and strategy. Despite being an inch taller, Meinke can't match Serrano's reach of 65.5 inches. Serrano's loose-handed technique is well-known, and although Meinke is resilient, she may struggle to withstand Serrano's onslaught of punches.
