Amanda Serrano needs less than two rounds to TKO Stevie Morgan

In Tampa, Florida on Saturday, world featherweight champion Amanda Serrano moved up to junior welterweight and easily stopped Stevie Morgan with a barrage of punches in round two. Morgan was steady on her feet as she absorbed the punches, so perhaps the stoppage was premature. Serrano is now to 47-2-1 with 31 KOs. She used this fight as a tune-up for a rematch vs. world 140-pound champion Katie Taylor, hence Serrano's three-division weight jump. Taylor defeated Serrano in a close fight in 2022 but has won five straight since. Morgan (14-2) was fighting in her hometown. Afterwards, Serrano tweeted, "Hey guys thank you for the support I love you all. To my opponent Stevie Morgan keep your head up champ. You’re a fearless warrior. You make us women look good. There [are] no weak women in boxing, we fight with heart."
