“Aztec Queen” Barrios faces unbeaten Patricia Juarez

By WBCboxing.com

Undefeated NABF Lightweight champion, Selina “Aztec Queen” Barrios (4-0, 2 KOs) is getting ready for her Corpus Christi Showdown on September 22, 2018, against Patricia Juarez (4-0), sister of WBC Bantamweight champion, Mariana “Barbie” Juarez(50-9-4, 13 KOs).

On the line will be Selina’s NABF Lightweight title.  The 10-round bout will take place at Whataburger Field, home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, the double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.

This is what Barrios has had to say:

“Training camp has been very challenging but it’s going to be worth every minute. I feel very motivated for this camp. I truly believe I am the best in my division and for that to continue to be true, I must train harder than others, and that’s what I’m doing. I understand that Patricia Juarez is undefeated and a very tough opponent. I am training extremely hard, because I respect her skill level. It’s going to be a great fight for the fans.

“Patricia Juarez is a deserving and tough challenger. I am training as though I am going to be in a tough and grueling fight that will go the distance, but my mindset like my last fight is also to go for a knockout. I am training very hard for this fight and I want the fans to know that I am not taking my opponent lightly.
“The NABF lightweight title means the world to me at this point in my career and defending it is very important. I live for people to call me ‘champ’ and to not have a belt, would mean I didn’t work hard enough to keep it. I can’t let that happen, so I am working tremendously hard to keep this belt, because not just do I want to defend it, but I also want to fight for a world title as well, which means I cannot lose the NABF strap.
