Amanda Serrano stops Cheyenne Hanson in second round as Stephanie Han beats Holly Holm by decision in rematch

Amanda Serrano retained her unified featherweight world title and tied the all-time knockout record with a barnstorming second-round stoppage victory over Cheyenne Hanson in the MVP Women's co-main event.

Serrano was always heavily favoured over German boxer Hanson (17-3) and only needed two rounds to secure her 32nd KO to tie Christie Martin's record, which has been held for 21 years.

The Puerto Rican boxer started the fight clearly with the intention of securing the record-equalling finish, trading blows with Hanson in the first round and stepping it up in the second to force the stoppage with 2:25 left in the round.

"This is my time," Serrano said. "With the three minutes we get to set up shots. I was feeling her out in the first round. But I think the three minutes gave us more time to have fun in there, and that's what I was doing, I was having fun."

"I can break the knockout record in my next fight. I can get my 50th win and break Christy Martin's knockout record."

Stephanie Han retained her WBA lightweight title and mantained her undefeated record as she secured a controversial win by decision in her much-anticipated rematch with Holly Holm.

Despite a visible cut over her eye in round two, Holm landed many of the harder punches in a thrilling fight that went the distance.

Han, though came out on top, with two judges scoring the bout 96-94 in her favour despite one judge calling the match a draw at 95-95.

Han has now won both fights between the two by decision after their first fight had to go to the scorecard early after an accidental headbutt.

The American could now be set to fight Katie Taylor in the Irishwoman's final fight - and made sure to make her intentions known straight after the fight.

"The next fight I want, I know all the fighters want her: Katie Taylor. She beat my sister, Jennifer Han - I want to have this revenge fight for her."
