Female boxing sensation Amanda Serrano (30-1-1, 23 KOs) needed just 44 seconds to annihilate Hungarian Alexandra Lazar (8-2, 2 KOs) on Tuesday night to claim the vacant WBO female junior featherweight world title during the annual WBO Convention at the Hotel Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After two knockdowns, referee Sparkle Lee stopped it with Lazar still down from the second knockdown. Serrano, who was born in Puerto Rico then raised in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, is now a four-division world champion.

In the co-feature, super featherweight Jose “Wonder Boy” Lopez (18-1, 14 KOs) claimed the vacant WBO international belt with a second round KO over Edgar Lopez Sasso (13-2-1, 4 KOs).
