Amanda Serrano vs. Heather Hardy Betting Analysis
Amanda Serrano
Serrano is coming in as a top-5 pound-for-pound women’s fighter in the world and the undisputed featherweight champion. She has a professional record of 44-2-1 in boxing, with 30 KOs.
She might be the best women’s combat sports athlete ever. With two world championships in BJJ and a very good MMA record–signing with the PFL to compete in their new “Super Fight Divison.”
“The Real Deal” is now at the age of 34 and seems to have plenty left in the tank after dropping an arguable split decision to Katie Taylor in the fight of the year 2022. Serrano beat Hardy in their first meeting back in 2019 to earn her first featherweight belt with a 98-91 reading on two scorecards.
Heather Hardy
Hardy is an incredible veteran professional boxer with a record of 24-2 with four KOs at the age of 41. She also has a very solid MMA career in Bellator and other promotions.
She is a major voice in women’s boxing media. As well as a huge reason for the growth of the sport–along with her opponent this weekend.

Amanda Serrano vs. Heather Hardy Betting Preview
Now let’s take a look at the available boxing odds for this bout. To see what exactly the proper Serrano vs Hardy prediction will be this weekend.
Serrano is coming in as the massive -2000 betting favorite over the +950 Hardy. Serrano closed as the -1667 favorite in their first meeting after opening at only 500. The over/under is set even at 8.5 rounds.
The Long Road
At -150, Serrano is favored to actually get the finish inside the distance. And Hardy is +3300 to do the same. It seems like the only way Hardy can win this one is to catch her with a big shot that puts her down badly, which is seemingly a massive long shot.
On the technical side of this fight, the superior boxer is Serrano. From hand speed to punching accuracy, she is the toughest to deal with right now in the featherweight division. Their first fight was action-packed, but it’s going to be tough for Hardy to do anything different now at the age of 41.
Amanda Serrano vs. Heather Hardy Betting Prediction
Boxing predictions for fights like this are easy to make, but you have to find the best betting line to put money on to actually win.
- If you haven’t guessed, the official Serrano vs Hardy prediction is that Hardy will get her hand raised again on Saturday night.
The best bet to make is probably Serrano by TKO/KO at -150 because, hopefully, someone stops the fight if Hardy starts absorbing a lot of punches to the head this time around. Hardy will put herself in harm’s way with a lot of courage and toughness, but someone might have to save her from permanent damage.
