Is Alycia Baumgardner avoiding Caroline Dubois?

Alycia Baumgardner solidified her status as the undisputed super featherweight queen tonight, successfully defending her trio of world titles against a game Bo Mi Re Shin. The victory, however, was just the opening act for the champion's next big move, as she immediately set her sights on legacy-defining fights while dismissing a rising contender with a memorable aquatic insult.

Fresh off the win, Baumgardner made her ambitions clear: she wants a mega-fight. Her preferred targets are either the legendary Katie Taylor, who is planning a storied retirement bout in Ireland this fall, or her own MVP Promotions stablemate, the formidable Amanda Serrano. Promoter Jake Paul echoed the call for a Taylor showdown, a fight for which Baumgardner has already been offered.

Noticeably absent from her wishlist? WBC lightweight titlist and fellow MVP fighter Caroline Dubois. Baumgardner didn't mince words when addressing the potential matchup, drawing a sharp line in the sand. "I’m a piranha, that’s a guppy," Baumgardner declared. "Get her out of here." The dismissive comment is sure to fuel debate over whether this is strategic posturing or a genuine avoidance of a dangerous, rising star.

Reflecting on her performance, Baumgardner showed respect for her opponent's toughness while highlighting her own adaptability. "I knew she was tough... I knew I had to be consistent, use my jab, and set things up," she said. She also emphasized the challenge of the new three-minute rounds in women's boxing, a change that suits her high-paced style. "Three minutes is a long time... I’m still growing, I’m still learning."

While a stoppage didn't come, Baumgardner was pleased with the technical display. "I showed levels to my boxing game, and that’s important," she stated, proving her championship mettle goes beyond pure power. With her eyes firmly on the future, her message was simple: "Bring me back in the fall." Alycia Baumgardner isn't just defending belts; she's hunting for history, and she believes the biggest names in the sport are the only worthy prey.
