In a fourth bout, in another ten-round bout and to "keep your

sixth round TKO over Elin Cederroos, 167¼, of Sweden. The two were fighting

Rick Scharmberg said of the fight
card last night, “Serrano-Cruz was a 10 round brawl and
bloodbath. Baumgardner dropped Mekhaled twice early, but
couldn't keep her down. Mekhaled got her pound of flesh in
dropping the decision. Both fighters stood in the pocket and
unloaded the rest of the way. Both took a lot of shots. DAZN did
it again with a spectacular show.”
Great
card and huge congrats to all the female boxers who boxed
on this card in New York!
