(Boston) October 27, 2023 HILARIE ROSE (6-6) will square off against ANDREA AMARO (3-2) in pro strawweight action. INVICTA FC 54 is presenting some high level matchups on the card and Rose versus Amaro could end up being the fight of the night. These two strawweights can bring the fire.
HILARIE ROSE PRIMED FOR INVICTA FC DEBUT
HILARIE ROSE fights out of Massachusetts and is looking to turn around a tough two fight losing streak at IFC 54. Rose made her amateur debut back in 2014. She achieved a (5-3) record as an amateur and captured the New England Fights amateur strawweight title via round one KO/TKO finish in her final amateur bout. Fight fans across New England are aware of Rose and know what she can bring to a fight. Hilarie turned pro in February of 2018 and has developed into a well rounded fighter with a (6-6) pro record. She is a seasoned fighter with considerable experience.

In 2020 her talent produced an appearance on the Contender Series. Rose is a strong striker and has good presence inside the cage. She has demonstrated she knows how to end a fight having gained five of her six pro wins via finish. Hilarie is currently ranked 13th pound for pound among the northeast women. She has faced some notable opponents in her pro career. Such names include; Cheyanne Vlismas, Elisa Reed, and Glory Watson. October 27th will be Rose’s first time entering the Invicta FC cage. IFC 54 will be an opportunity to fight in front of her home crowd on one of the most prestigious platforms in women’s MMA. It will be an opportunity to regain momentum in her pro career and put a stop to a two fight losing skid. Despite Rose having a sizable experience advantage this appears to be a closely matched bout. Hilarie Rose has the tool kit to win but it is fair to conclude Andrea Amaro could very well be Rose’s toughest test to date.
ANDREA AMARO PREPARED TO CONTINUE WIN STREAK
ANDREA “Piggy” AMARO hails out of Texas and brings a (3-2) pro record into the fight. She has put together a solid two fight win streak and on October 27th in Boston she will be trying to add number three. Amaro started her amateur career back in March of 2016. She went on to mold an impressive (5-1) record as an amateur. In September of 2018 Andrea launched her professional career with a close win over Valerie Soto. Amaro is coming off a split decision victory over Claudia Diaz back in August of 2022. Andrea has quick hands, crisp boxing, and likes to push forward. She has an excellent jab and can throw a blistering right hand. The Texas warrior likes to mix up her attack with kicks and punches. She is comfortable on the ground and knows how to take control of a fight. She has no problem standing in the pocket and trading bombs.

This hardworking athlete has improved with every bout. At Invicta FC 54 Amaro will be facing a sizable challenge in the form of an experienced hometown favorite, Hilarie Rose. There is never a dull moment in an Andrea Amaro fight.
Both ROSE and AMARO will be making their Invicta FC debuts at IFC 54. And as usual the ladies always deliver the best fights. Fights fans brace yourselves for fireworks.
