Serrano and Nunez fought to a toe to toe draw back on November 20, 2009 in Atlantic City.
Serrano of Brooklyn, New York has a record of 7-0-1 with four knockouts, knows the first fight was an aberration and will look to not only win but emphatically on Saturday.
“I took the first fight on short notice”, said Serrano.
“I only knew about for a week. This fight will be different as I am training much harder and there will be no surprises.”
Serrano was influenced by her sister, former two-time title challenger Cindy Serrano, who herself is 15-3-1.
“I was in the gym all day watching her. I just wanted to fight and then I won the Golden Gloves. She is my best sparring partner and she always gives me hints to help me improve.”
“I take this sport seriously and would someday want to be the face of woman’s boxing”, said the twenty-two year old Serrano.
Since the draw with Nunez, Serrano has won three in a row which includes her last bout when she scored a fourth round stoppage over Jennifer Encarncion on September 18th in the Dominican Republic.

Medina steps in for Russell Jordan who was injured in training.
Medina has a record of 12-9 with five knockouts.
Medina has been in the ring with former world title challenger Elvin Ayala (9-0); Jason LeHoullier (16-0) and in his last bout he dropped an eight round unanimous decision to Gabriel Rosado on December 9th.
In a six round Welterweight bout, Martin Wright (8-0-2, 4 KO’s) of Brooklyn, NY will take on Stephen Scott (5-2) of Albany, New York.

In one of the most dubious refereeing jobs in recent memory, former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley was allowed to be dropped NINE times in dropping about to Lucas Matthysse via eighth round stoppage in Mendoza, Argentina.
Matthyse softened Corley up over the first four round before dropping Cor twice in round five, once in round six, three times in round seven and two times in round eight. Most of the shots were hooks to the body and ironically the last knockdown looked like Matthysse clearly missed Corley but Corley slipped and the referee waved the bout off.
Matthysse, 139 1/2 lbs was fighting for the first time since his first professional loss which came last November to Zab Judah is now 28-1 with twenty-six knockouts. Corley, 138 3/4 lbs of Washington, DC is now 37-16-1
Claudio Tapia scored a fourth round stoppage over previously undefeated Pablo Barboza in a scheduled six round Super Featherweight bout.
Barboza was docked two points in round three for low blows. That seemed to incite Tapia as he came out with reckless abandon as he dropped Barboza twice with the first coming from a wild left hook. He finished Barboza off with a head shot and the referee counted Barboza out.
Tapia, 129 1/2 lbs of Buenos Aries, ARG is now 19-10-4 with six knockouts. Barboza, 129 1/4 lbs of Santa Fe, ARG is now 13-1.
