Alycia Baumgardner retained her trio of super featherweight world titles tonight with a hard-fought victory over Bo Mi Re Shin, and is already turning her attention to the future and a potential bigger fight.

Baumgardner says she would prefer to fight either Katie Taylor, who plans to have a retirement fight this fall at Croke Park in Ireland, or MVP stablemate Amanda Serrano. Her promoter, Jake Paul, threw in his two cents and mentioned the Taylor possibility — for which MVP has already offered Baumgardner — and didn’t mention the Serrano call-out.

One name that Baumgardner apparently is not interested in is WBC lightweight titlist and another fellow MVP fighter, Caroline Dubois.

“I’m a piranha, that’s a guppy,” Baumgardner said of Dubois. “Get her out of here.”

What do YOU think? Is Baumgardner “ducking” Dubois? Should she get the Katie Taylor or Amanda Serrano fight she wants?

On Shin and her own performance:

“I knew she was tough, she’s a Korean woman. I knew I had to be consistent, use my jab, and set things up. Bo was gonna come regardless, so it was up to me to set the pace. I am (happy with my performance), fuck, I made it here. Three minutes, 10 rounds, on my period? Baby, stop playing with me.”

On working with three-minute rounds again:

“I’m feeling comfortable. It’s an adjustment every time. Three minutes is a long time. I think it suits my style. I’m still growing, I’m still learning. I don’t know everything and I’m OK with that. You just go back and you keep getting better.”

On not getting the stoppage:

“I’m not disappointed. I’m just happy I was able to be back in the ring, three minutes, put my punches together, look good doing it. You’re not always gonna get the stoppage, but I showed levels to my boxing game, and that’s important, too.”
