I want to thank my dance partner
Miriam Gutiérrez She didn’t come to lay down. I don’t care who is in front of me I’m not coming to Play!
She just told me she weighed 160lbs today. Thanks God I worked with my girl @nisa_rodriguez5 who was about 165. God is Great. I’m Blessed! https://t.co/RVED1knVzN
Following the win, Serrano is expected to face pound-for-pound queen Katie Taylor sometime next year. While she was clearly elated to pick up the win, 'The Real Deal' remembered to thank Jake Paul for propelling her to global stardom.
Serrano claimed that without 'The Problem Child' promoting her, people across the globe wouldn't have been aware of who she is today. During her post-fight interview, she said:
"I got to thank Jake Paul you know, because if it wasn't for him pushing me, none of these people would know who I am so I definitely want to thank my team, Jordan Maldonado, my sister Cindy, all my sparring partners, MVP baby, I hope I made you guys proud. Jake Paul and everybody in the crowd who came out to see and everybody who purchased the pay-per-view, thank you, and this is women's boxing. I'm doing it for all of us baby."
