Mariana “Barby” Juarez defends her WBC bantamweight crown for the second time, when she fights Belarusian Alesia Graf on Saturday night.
Alesia, who has unsuccessfully tried on three previous visits to Mexico to conquer the precious green and gold title, stresses that on this occasion she will not return to Germany empty-handed. However, Mariana who’s a fan favourite, is in peak form.
Mariana has had a great year. On April 1 she defeated the then champion Catherine Phiri by UD. She then successfully defended her crown against the tough Japanese fighter Terumi Nuki and now she is ready to stop an experienced rival.
Both, Mariana and Alesia, had no problem at the official weigh in.
Mariana Juarez: 117.9 Lbs.
Alesia Graf 116.8 Lbs
