‘I’m a piranha, that’s a guppy’: Alycia Baumgardner dismisses Caroline Dubois after win over Bo Mi Re Shin
Is Alycia Baumgardner avoiding Caroline Dubois?
Alycia Baumgardner says she’s not interested in fighting Caroline Dubois | Carmen Mandato/Getty Images for Netflix and Richard Pelham/Getty Images 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.
