Jake Paul shares video of Amanda Serrano weighing only 2 ounces heavier than her official fight weight - "I'm so proud"

Jake Paul is proud of Amanda Serrano's performance against Katie Taylor in their pay-per-view headlining boxing match at Madison Square Garden in New York this past weekend.

After going toe-to-toe with arguably the best pound-for-pound female boxer on the planet, Serrano lost via a narrow split decision.

'The Problem Child', who was her promoter for the event, recently shared a clip on social media showing Serrano stepping on the weighing scale after the fight.

The video reveals that she weighed just a couple of ounces heavier than what she did during the official weigh-ins for the bout.

Fighters usually cut a lot of weight to compete in weight classes where the maximum limit is significantly lower than their walkaround weight. This ensures that they have some sort of reach or size advantage over their opponents.

Serrano, who usually competes at featherweight (126 pounds) had to take on Taylor at lightweight (135 pounds). Paul praised the Puerto-Rican boxer for moving up a weight class to take on a much bigger opponent and pushing her to the limit.

On Twitter, Paul wrote:

"Amanda sent this to my partner in confidence, but I have to share it. I’m so proud of how you stepped up last night and almost knocked out your much bigger opponent. #GOAT @serranosisters."
