RUGGED DEFENCE FOR “LA LOBA”

Mexican Zulina Muñoz notched ten defenses of her WBC female Super flyweight  Championship  after defeating game, durable  and tough as old boots Venezuelan Carolina Alvarez by unanimous decision.

“La Loba” dominated “La Fiera” from start to finish,  to score 99-90, 97-92 and 99-90 in a fight of  attrition,  during Zanfer’s evening at the gym “Ana Gabriela Guevara ” in Hermosillo, Sonora.
Accidental head clashes  in the first two rounds  caused cuts for the Venezuelan, who with an uncomfortable style did not allow the champion to show her absolute best.  A “North by North West” contest, because Carolina`s chance of winning rapidly went west, as she suffered from the blast of a north wind, which blows a  buffeting snowstorm.

Although the objective of Zulina and her team, headed by the brothers Mauro and Lázaro Ayala, was to equal or improve the knockout over the Argentinean Vanessa Taborda, the 38 year old Venezuelan who`s nine years older than Zulina, weathered everything.

With this triumph Zulina improved her record to 48-1-2, 28 knockouts, in addition she  equals  the ten defenses  record of  Ana “Guerrera” Torres. Moving up to the  bantamweight division to take on WBC champion Catherine Phiri  of Zambia, (12-1, 6 KO`s) might not be that far away?
