Amanda Serano involved in a controversy
The Ring reports that Serrano’s trainer, manager and brother-in-law risk overshadowing Serrano’s accomplishments with his behavior both inside and outside of the ring. It was noted during the fight last week, that Maldonado was shown on the broadcast yelling towards Mercado and her corner between rounds. Mercado has since said that Maldonado was calling her “trash” and a “coward”, as well as “pendeja”. Mercado said that once the fight was over Maldonado came to her corner and called her trainers a gay slur in Spanish and called her “garbage”. Oscar de la Hoya Girlfriend Only Fans Site Leaks?
Mercado claimed that her trainers felt threatened so they decided to forgo the post-fight interviews and head straight for the locker room. During Amanda Serrano’s post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani, Maldonado can be seen yelling “adios” to Mercado and her team.
When asked about his actions towards Mercado, Maldonado had this to say:
“You know, Mexicans have a reputation for being tough warriors and we had said leading up to this fight that we were going to beat her at her own game. I was hoping that she would become a real Mexican and fight like a Mexican. Mexican’s don’t back up, you know what I’m saying? So I was hoping that she came and gave us a hard fight and coming forward, but she felt the power and she decided to become a boxer and run away.”
“Maldonado came to me and continued attacking me, calling me a coward, a good-for-nothing idiot and more,” she added.
