On February 7, 2003 at HP Pavillion in San Jose, California, Laura won by a fifth-round TKO in a rematch with JoJo Wyman. The fight was stopped between rounds by the ring doctor because of damage to Wyman's badly bruised right eye. Wyman asserted that the injury had been caused by a head butt, but the result was a TKO win for Serrano. Serrano had been the aggressor for most of the bout, moving forward in her southpaw stance while Wyman countered with her right. Serrano outworked Wyman at close quarters and appeared to be getting the better of the action in the fifth round before the stoppage. Serrano is now 15-0-2 (5 KO) while Wyman falls to 9-7-1 (0 KO) [Fight report and photos].
