Baumgardner Successfully Defends Unified Titles, Sets Sights on Taylor and Serrano

Alycia Baumgardner successfully defended her unified junior lightweight titles with a unanimous decision victory over Bo Mi Re Shin, and is now looking to face Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Baumgardner dominated the fight, despite Shin's strong challenge in rounds six and seven, winning 98-92, 98-92, and 99-91 on the judges' scorecards. The American's victory extends her record to 18 wins and one loss, but she is still seeking her first knockout in five years. After the fight, Baumgardner expressed her desire to take on the biggest names in the sport, calling out Taylor and Serrano while dismissing Caroline Dubois. A potential fight with Taylor could happen soon, as the Irishwoman is planning her farewell bout. Meanwhile, Lani Daniels pulled off a major upset with a ninth-round knockout victory over Shadasia Green, becoming the new IBF, WBO, and Ring super middleweight champion.
