She is ranked as the #1 women’s featherweight in the world and the #3 pound-for-pound women’s fighter on the planet.

Amanda Serrano vs Nina Meinke Betting Preview
We will need to break down the boxing betting odds for this weekend’s main event to make a proper Serrano vs Meinke prediction to bet on. After that, we will discuss the stylistic matchup between these two skilled women in the ring on Saturday.
Starting with the betting odds for this unified championship bout, Serrano is coming in as the massive -4000 betting favorite over the +1200 Meinke. You can get Serrano to win by KO at -150, or by decision at +125. For Meinke to shock the world and land that perfect punch to win by KO, her odds are at +3300.
Stylistically, Meinke is going to find himself outmatched in just about every aspect of the fight. She is tough, she is daring to be great by traveling across the world for her first 12-round fight to challenge the best in the world.
It’s even safe to say that Meinke beats almost everyone else in the division, but the skill gap is just too much in favor of Serrano.
Serrano has elite hand speed and punching ability in this division. She will also most likely display a high pace and be chasing a finish for this crowd. That may put her in more danger than usual, but she can beat anybody to the punch while sitting in the pocket as well.
Amanda Serrano vs Nina Meinke Betting Pick and Prediction
The official Serrano vs Meinke prediction is that Serrano will get the job done inside the distance on Saturday night. She wanted that KO badly in her last bout, and she won’t let herself give any rounds away this weekend.
Expect this one to conclude within the first 7 or 8 rounds. That early stoppage would be due to damage accumulated on Meinke’s face, much like her fight against Taylor years ago. The most likely outcome is a late-round stoppage when Meinke fades away going into the championship rounds with Serrano.
- Pick: Serrano by KO -150.
