  Laura Serrano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laura Serrano (born October 30, 1967) almost became a boxer by default, but soon she showed she was born with the talent to become a champion.
Serrano would soon begin a fight outside the ring, because she was supposed to box on the Julio Cesar Chavez-Miguel Angel Gonzalez Pay Per View event's undercard in Mexico City, until an ordinance from 1947 was found, disallowing women to engage in boxing events in Mexico.
Serrano next suffered a foot injury and the subsequent surgery, but in 1999, she came back and won a decision in her comeback bout.

 Women's Boxing: Laura Serrano Biography
Laura's public boxing career began when she went to Las Vegas to fight Christy Martin on the undercard of a Chavez-Randall title bout at the MGM Grand on May 7, 1994.
Serrano looked much the worse for wear at the end of the fight, with a cut on her forehead (from a clash of heads in the fifth round) and a closed left eye resulting in a trip to the hospital after what was clearly her most physically challenging fight
Serrano was the busier and more aggressive fighter throughout the bout, pushing the action at Girgrah who generally let Serrano come at her while occasionally countering with hard rights to the head.

 Womens Boxing: Laura Serrano vs. Jo Jo Wyman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Laura Serrano not only brings an undefeated record against a stellar list of opponents, but is famous, at least among women’s boxing fans, for holding Christy Martin to a draw in Serrano’s very first professional bout, a bout that many observers thought she actually won.
Serrano will be facing a newcomer to the national scene in JoJo Wyman, an exciting boxer who has been adding refinement to what used to be a style that was skilled and highly athletic yet on the brawling side.
While Laura Serrano has gained national recognition (at least among most fans of women’s boxing) JoJo Wyman must seek it against a consummate professional while under the glare of the television lights for the first time.

In all of 2003 thus far we'd be hard pressed to find many examples of judging that compare to this egregious disregard for fairness.
The punch stats had Serrano landing 37 more punches and a slightly higher land percentage.
The 144 more punches she threw is the stat that reflects how she effectively pressed the action throughout most of the fight while Girgha, who did have her moments, more often than not seemed to be looking to land a powerful right to the head.

Being an ex- amateur fighter and having been the loser on close decisions in hometowns of other fighters, I thought to myself these judges clearly saw what I couldn’t without being there ringside and for them to give Girgrah the decision in Serrano’s neck of the woods, meant Girgrah did win it fair and square.
