August 29th on Showtime PPV; this is the main event in all but name of the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley card. That one is a legitimate sanctioned pro match, but a green half-dabbling YouTuber vs. a debuting former MMA crossover oughtn't top a bill over a world title bout (women's or not) in any sane world. WBC, IBO, and WBO female 126lb titles at stake - 1st defense of the former two and second defense of the last by Serrano. Mercado is the reigning WBC champion at super bantamweight.
Serrano last time out vs. Daniela Bermúdez: This content is protected note: "La Bonita" has long been considered #1 in two divisions, straddling bantam and super bantam simultaneously. Mercado last time out vs. Angélica Rascón: This content is protected note: many observers feel "Sexy Mo Cuishle" got screwed on the cards.
Mercado is horrendous and shockingly bad technically but she's big and durable. Not an easy W for Serrano. She has to dig deep. But i expect her to win comfortably, might be a late stoppage.
