Rivera/Gonzalez up next, madness that they would put this on the prelims

Rivera hurt in the 1st

Gonzalez dropped Rivera in the 2nd, left hand, he's really struggling to hold the shots Rivera

Gonzalez had Rivera down again in the 8th same shot but ref rules back of the head them bizarrely calls the doc over to check the back of Rivera's head, don't think I've ever seen that before, he wasn't even hurt

Referee's 1st televised assignment or something?

Don't recognize him tbh

It goes the distance surely Gonzalez has done enough, dropped Rivera and was generally in control most of the fight, Rivera done well to warm into the punches but Gonzalez stunned him a few times, Rivera picked up a couple rounds here and there maybe but pretty comfortable for Gonzalez

Jonathan Gonzalez wins by UD

2 girls steadily swinging and hoping in the 8 rounder between Ebonie Bridges and Alexis Araiza. Could easily be a draw. Araiza's nose was bleeding most of the fight. She always looked kinda tired, but kept punching. I think she just couldn't breathe through her nose due to the blood.

Not a bad fight. Bridges may get it. The commentators seem to think Araiza. I think it's either a draw or Bridges.

Regardless of opponent.......Ebanie always entertains.

Very fun fight.

Love the Wolverine outfit

Am I seeing things or is there like a puffiness on Holly's cheek?

Nah it's just her facial structure I guess. I have Han winning these first few rounds.

No reason for a rematch there.
Han was way out front and at 44 what Holly had tonight was the best she has to give. It's not going to get better.

98-92, 97-93 x 2 was the scorecards for Serrano

Anyone notice this?

I thought the Holm vs. Han fight was close. I scored it 3 rounds to 3 after six rounds and it was stopped in the seventh due to a cut on Han's upper forehead which appeared to be minor. I don't agree with the Compubox stats which is not done by a computer and has been criticized in the past for possible inaccuracy. Also, punches landed is not the only criteria for judging in boxing.

I would've had Han up in the fight, but it was competitive. Holm still knows how to fight, but has lost a lot of hand speed.

I could see 4-2 in favor of Han after six rounds, but it seems two of the judges only scored one round in favor of Holm and they had to score the incomplete seventh round. One of the commentators said during the third round that Han had a 3-1 punches landed advantage. It did not appear that way to me. I guess they were relying on Compubox. It didn't make sense because they were also saying that Han started slow as if she was in awe of Holm, although the commentator scored the first round for Han. It surprised me that Han said she would be willing to have a rematch in Albuquerque (Holm's hometown) because I think that is the only place where Holm could win a decision against Han.

In Han's previous fight against fringe contender Paulina Angel in Orlando, the only round the judges scored in favor of Angel was the one that she knocked down Han which they all identically scored as a 10-8 round. The other rounds were all 10-9 in favor of Han, so all three scores were 98-91. That was actually a close fight with one website scoring it 96-93 in favor of Han. Han won the WBA lightweight title against Hannah Terlep who should not have been in there against Han, who was knocked out in her previous fight, and not a world-class boxer. Han knocked her out in the first round. I am still surprised that the WBA sanctioned that. Before that, Han fought legitimate contender Miranda Reyes for the WBA International belt and Reyes got robbed in Han's hometown of El Paso.

Amanda Serrano Praises Reina Tellez's Effort In Defeat

It was always going to be an uphill climb for Reina Tellez, facing a seven-division and reigning Ring, WBA and WBO featherweight champion Amanda Serrano.

Still, Tellez found a way to raise her stock as she turned in a gritty performance in a unanimous decision defeat to Serrano on Saturday at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Serrano won 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93.

“She showed the world who Reina Tellez is,” Serrano said in a post-fight media scrum. “Now, she's gonna have other opportunities to fight on MVP, because that's what I do. I love to showcase women fighting. She came, she showed up and she earned her spot with MVP.“

Tellez (13-1-1, 5 KOs) is promoted by Boxlab Promotions, which often co-promotes events with Most Valuable Promotions. Tellez fought once on an MVP Prospects card in 2025.

Tellez stepped up on two weeks’ notice to replace Erika Cruz, who was withdrawn from the fight after an atypical finding in her Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test. The 22-year-old prospect was making a seismic jump in competition to face Serrano (48-4-1, 31 KOs), who won her first world title in 2011, around the time Tellez first began boxing.

Serrano’s height and reach advantage, along with her significant edge in experience, allowed her to largely control the bout. Her ability to attack the body paid dividends, and it often forced Tellez to stop engaging or go on the move to create space from the Puerto Rican southpaw. With the fight well within her grasp, Serrano really forced the issue in the 10th and final round as she relentlessly targeted Tellez’s body in hopes of tying Christy Martin’s record of 32 wins by knockout.

Tellez ultimately survived without appearing to be in too much trouble.

“I’m not surprised because women, we’re tough,” Serrano said of Tellez. “I just wanted to give the fans something, so I said, 'You know what, last three minutes, I’m going to go out there and just throw punches.'"

Tellez wasn’t without moments of her own, which helped her notch multiple rounds across the three judges’ scorecards. She found success punching with Serrano, particularly with her jab and left hook to cause swelling around the champion's eye.

After the fight, Serrano expressed gratitude to Tellez for stepping up to take the fight. Serrano, 37, was fighting on her home island for the first time since 2021 and returned to featherweight after fighting at junior welterweight in her previous three fights.

“I'm super thankful and grateful to Reina for coming on such short notice and fighting,” Serrano said. “She's a warrior.”

For Tellez, fighting 10 three-minute rounds for the first time against a fighter of Serrano’s caliber could prove invaluable as she progresses.

“I just did that with one of the best in the world,” Tellez said in her post-fight interview. “[Amanda is] somebody I've idolized my whole life. I stood in there, and I fought to the end.”

Bridges wrote on social media on January 8: “Well, they do say ‘if you try, you may fail, but if you don’t try, you are guaranteed failure’. I might not have gotten the ‘W’, but I said I’d get back in the ring in the first year after giving birth and that, for me, was an achievement in itself.

“It was a tough fight to come back to after 2 years out and a baby. Alexis likes to bring it and we had a war.”
