Cruz defends his WBA title at home against Romero – World Boxing Association

Published

on

Erika Cruz returns home as the World Boxing Association (WBA) super bantamweight champion to defend her title against Nazarena Romero this Saturday at the Palenque de la Feria in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The host’s fighter will defend for the first time the title she won on November 18 after defeating Mayerlin Rivas in a fight held in Los Angeles, California.

After previously being the WBA featherweight champion, she has now dropped down one division and become the 122-pound champion again. Cruz is a shrewd, southpaw fighter who is always moving forward and has had some of the best women’s fights in recent years, such as her stellar performance in a loss to Amanda Serrano that was one of the most entertaining fights of all of 2023.

Romero is the mandatory challenger in this category and has experience in world title fights against Mayerlin Rivas last June. Romero drew with the Venezuelan by technical decision in Buenos Aires after an injury prevented her from continuing with the fight only going into the fifth round. Now, however, she has a recent chance in the away game.

Cruz has 17 wins, 2 losses and 3 knockouts. For his part, Romero will enter the fight with 13 wins, no losses, 1 draw and 7 knockouts.

Baumgardner defends against Persoon on Friday – World Boxing Association

Published

on

Alycia Baumgardner will defend her WBA super featherweight title against Delfine Persoon this Friday at the Trilith Studios Town Stage in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The American will face the Belgian in a duel between two elite fighters who have had great fights, so this clash promises to be a great battle as well.

Baumgardner defeated Christina Linardatou in their last fight last July. The 30-year-old will make a fresh defense of her crown and will leave with her hand raised to remain the monarch.

The challenge won’t be simple as she’ll be facing veteran Persoon. A tough fighter with a solid record who hasn’t lost since 2020. The European has faced great opponents such as Katie Taylor, with whom she had two spectacular fights, despite losing both.

Baumgardner has a record of 15 wins, 1 loss, and 7 knockouts, while Persoon has a record of 49 wins, 3 losses, and 19 knockouts.

Joana Chavarria won the WBA featherweight world title with a unanimous decision victory over Caroline Veyre last Saturday night in Mexico City.

The player from this spot had a great evening and scored 98-91, 96-93 and 96-94, which earned her the regional championship in the pioneering organization and a breakthrough in her career.

Aggression was key for the Mexican in the ring, as she was able to nullify her Canadian opponent’s boxing and overwhelm her, preventing her from developing her tools. She added rounds throughout the fight and eventually managed to build an advantage that gave her this substantial decision victory.

Chavarria won her seventh professional fight, while she has 5 losses, 1 draw and 2 no-fights. Veyre lost her undefeated record and now has 7 wins and 1 loss.
