(DEC 7) It’s finally time for Rhonda Luna to test world championship waters when she travels to New York to face Cindy Serrano for the WIBA featherweight title on Saturday.

After years of slugging it out with lesser-known opponents, Luna finds herself as the stranger walking into Serrano’s den of followers at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York.

Both Luna and Serrano are undefeated and will be facing their sternest test.

“I feel I’ve been tested pretty well,” said Luna, who serves as an Activities director for Nogales High School in Walnut, California. “We’ll see if she’s ready for me.”

Serrano (12-0, 7 Kos), 23, raised in Brooklyn, New York, has faced only two fighters with a winning record. One opponent was 2-1 the other 5-3. Other than that, she’s hardly faced competition in the talented featherweight division.

Luna, (10-0, 1 KO) has faced four fighters with winning records, but only one had more than three fights. Perhaps her best victory came against former amateur national champion Amber Gideon almost two years ago. She only has one knockout, that came in her second fight.

Can she bring back a title against a hometown fighter?

“It’s going to be tough but I think Rhonda has the style to do it,” said Jacob Luna, a Riverside attorney who serves as Rhonda’s advisor. “Rhonda is an aggressive fighter and that’s what you need to fight in someone else’s area.”

Victor Valenzuela, who trains Luna, said she needs that aggression to win in someone else’s home.

“It’s going to be tough especially going up to New York,” said Valenzuela, who trained former world title-holders Zack Padilla and Paul Banke. “She has to put on pressure.”

Usually Luna has at least 300 people supporting her in every fight. In this match, her supporters will have to travel more than 2,500 miles to see her attempt to win her first world title.

“I’ve very lucky to have so many good fans,” Luna said while training in the Duarte Boxing Club.

Most of Luna’s boxing contests have been held at the Irvine Marriott. It doesn’t bother the former college softball star at UC Santa Barbara.

“I’ve always been competitive,” she said. “When I was a young girl I played on boy’s baseball teams. But when I got to high school, I wasn’t as strong as the boys so I switched to softball.”

Boxing serves as Luna’s conduit to release her competitive juices.

“I really like boxing,” said Luna. “I’m an aggressive athlete.”
