Someone put the Amanda Serrano fight up. I finally got to watch it and I gotta say I was impressed. This is what I wanted to see from Heather Hardy. When fighting a lower tiered fighter the Boxers should have a clear advantage in the striking. Amanda had a clear advantage this fight and even had the presences of mind to go for the RNC when the opportunity presented itself. We know how far she goes will depend on takedown defense and how well she works off her back but this fight she showed exactly what you want to see from a prospect early in their MMA career.
Here is where I watched the fight.
Serrano is a much, much more talented boxer than Hardy. I've seen quite a bit of both over the years since I have a relative that works for Dibella and Hardy and Serrano were regulars on his Broadway Boxing circuit, I'm not all that surprised that Hardy's striking hasnt been impressive in MMA because she honestly wasn't all that great in boxing. Serrano is just way more skilled, explosive, and athletic.
