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

Alycia Baumgardner successfully retained 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, taking a confident approach from the start, but Shin pushed back in rounds six and seven. Despite this, Baumgardner's superior skill and technique earned her the win, with judges' scores of 98-92, 98-92, and 99-91. Following the fight, Baumgardner expressed her desire to continue growing and improving, stating that she is still learning and adapting to the three-minute round format. She also called out Taylor and Serrano, while dismissing Caroline Dubois as a potential opponent, referring to herself as a 'piranha' and Dubois as a 'guppy.' A potential fight with Taylor could happen soon, as the Irishwoman is reportedly planning her farewell bout. In another notable match, Lani Daniels secured a knockout victory in the ninth round against Shadasia Green, becoming the new IBF, WBO, and Ring super middleweight champion and a three-division world champion.
