MVP’s reigning undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner (16-1, 7 KOs) returned to the ring to conquer WBA interim world champion Jennifer Miranda (12-1, 1 KO) on the Taylor vs. Serrano 3 undercard.
Baumgardner opened the fight with confidence, controlling the early rounds with excellent footwork and clean counters. Miranda, on the other hand, struggled to find her rhythm. As the bout wore on, Miranda chipped away at Baumgardner’s early lead, even backing her onto the ropes late in the fight. The later rounds saw a shift in momentum as Miranda grew in confidence and aggression, while Baumgardner occasionally coasted — drawing visible frustration from her corner. The final round was a flurry from both, with Miranda landing a strong hook that briefly rallied the crowd. Baumgardner’s earlier dominance and sharper shots secured her the edge.
With both fighters celebrating at the bell, the outcome was left in the hands of the judges, and the MSG crowd made no secret of their divided loyalties: Ultimately, the judges ruled in favor of Baumgardner, and she won via unanimous decision.
