Alycia Baumgardner Beats Jennifer Miranda to Retain
A Statement Win on a Historic Night at Madison Square Garden
On July 11, 2025, Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner defended her undisputed super featherweight title against Spain’s undefeated contender Jennifer Miranda in the co-main event of the all-women’s card headlined by Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano III. Fighting under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden, Baumgardner delivered a commanding performance, reaffirming her status as one of boxing’s most electrifying champions.
Baumgardner’s Power and Precision Overwhelm the Challenger
Baumgardner (16-1, 8 KOs) wasted no time asserting dominance. From the opening bell, she pressed the action, landing heavy shots and controlling the pace. Miranda (12-1, 1 KO), known for her technical skill and movement, struggled to keep Baumgardner at bay. The champion’s educated jab and explosive right hand repeatedly found their mark, forcing Miranda into survival mode by Round 4.
The fight ended in ten rounds, when Baumgardner unleashed a flurry of punches that left Miranda defenseless against the ropes. Referee Mike Ortega stepped in to halt the bout, awarding Baumgardner a unanimous-decision victory and her third successful defense as the undisputed champion.
Redemption and Reinvention
This win marked Baumgardner’s return to form after a tumultuous year that included a temporary suspension due to a disputed drug test. Cleared of wrongdoing and reinstated by the WBC in early 2025, Baumgardner entered the ring with something to prove—and she delivered.
“Every defense is personal,” Baumgardner said post-fight. “I’m here to leave a mark on boxing history”.
What’s Next: Eyes on 140
With her dominance at 130 pounds unquestioned, Baumgardner has made it clear she’s ready to move up. She’s targeting the winner of the Taylor vs. Serrano trilogy for a shot at the undisputed super lightweight title, stating:
“Give me Katie, give me Amanda. I want an actual boxing fight on a big stage with either of them”.
Baumgardner’s blend of charisma, power, and ring IQ makes her a compelling figure in women’s boxing—and her ambition to unify multiple divisions could define the next era of the sport.
Final Thoughts: The Bomb Keeps Dropping
Alycia Baumgardner didn’t just defend her titles—she reasserted her dominance and reignited her pursuit of greatness. In a sport where legacy is built on moments, Baumgardner’s performance at MSG was a thunderclap. With 140 pounds in her sights and the Netflix spotlight behind her, the next chapter promises even bigger explosions.
