Serrano on Her Last Walk: 'I Want People to Remember Me as a Game Changer'

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Amanda Serrano was asked how she wants to be remembered, and she kept it short. "I want people to remember me as a game changer and that I gave it my all in the ring," she said at Tuesday's kickoff press conference for her final fight.

What Serrano Said

Serrano was clear that she knows the end is here. "You know when it's time," she said. "I enjoyed it every time I fought, every time I get to go into that ring, I enjoy it. But I think it's time."

She also said it was never going to end anywhere else. "I always knew that my last fight, my last step, would be here in Puerto Rico," Serrano said. She invited the island to come along: "Not just my story, not just my journey. It's our journey."

The knockout record came up, and she did not bite. Serrano is one stoppage away from passing Christy Martin's women's mark of 32. "If the knockout comes, it comes," she said. "I'm going to enjoy every second of the last time I go into that ring."

Asked about Falzon's confidence, Serrano took it in stride. "These titles are going to stay here first and foremost," she said. "I love it, and just for her to go out with that mindset, knowing that when I do beat her, I'm beating the best Skye Falzon."

The part she says she'll miss most is the noise. "I'm going to miss you guys screaming my name, cheering for me," Serrano said. "I think that's going to be the hardest part: not being able to walk into an arena and have people cheer for me..."

Falzon Isn't Here to Help With the Farewell

Falzon told the room the call-up still feels unreal. "To be honest, I never thought that I'd get a call-up to fight Amanda Serrano. I watch her. I'm a fan of hers. She is the best, and that's just the way it is," she said. "To get a call-up to fight her was a dream come true. I actually cried about it."

Then she turned the page. "I'm not here just to take part in Amanda's history. I'm here to try to write my own," Falzon said. "I wouldn't be a fighter if I didn't believe I could win."

Falzon also said she expected Serrano to want 12 three-minute rounds. "I know that she's trying to change the women's sport to be the men's rules," she said. On the knockout question she kept it simple: "I'm just here to win. If a knockout comes, it comes."

What MVP Said

MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian talked about what Serrano has meant to the company. "Amanda was the first athlete to believe in me and my partner Jake Paul," he said. "She entrusted us with her career, and she convinced us to go all in on women's boxing."

Bidarian ran through what she's done since: she became the first and only undisputed champion, male or female, in Puerto Rico's history, and she gave up her WBC belt to take a stand for three-minute rounds. Then his pitch for the night: "Amanda Serrano to me is numero uno. You do not want to miss this event." Bidarian and Paul faced off Serrano and Falzon to close the show.

The Kimster's Take

Falzon is the right kind of dangerous. She isn't a name that makes the poster pop, but she's the kind of opponent who says the right thing at the microphone and means it. A farewell fight only works if the other corner believes it can spoil the party. This one does. And if Serrano gets the stoppage, she goes out alone at the top of the women's knockout list in front of her own people. That's a hell of a way to write the last line.

Before this, MVP had called the media to San Juan without saying what it was about. Now we know. Think she gets number 33? Lock in your call with Fight Picker, and check Serrano's Boxbid boxer page for more on her run.
