Ibeth Zamora Silva takes into tonight's contest over four rounds at
junior flyweight with the hard-hitting Ana Arrazola – whose record,
though incomplete, currently shows an impressive 50% (T)KO rate –
not only the advantage of youth but also the confidence of knowing
she's faced the woman from Tlalnepantla once before and beaten her.
"Every opponent deserves respect, though," warns Ibeth, "because no
one likes to lose in the ring; that's why it's important always to
arrive in peak physical condition." and this, according to her
trainer, the youngster from San Cristóbal Huichochitlán most
assuredly is.
If she wins tonight, Ibeth, who in the view of El
Sol de Toluca's
Abraham Hernández Villanueva
is an 'outstanding' prospect', will go 2 and 0, dealing Arrazola's
plans of landing the NABF junior flyweight championship before the
year's end a severe blow. Spectators in La Rouge de Metepec this
evening are likely to witness a brief but intense struggle.
Also in Mexico: On
Thursday evening (3 May) Perla “Potranquita” Hernández and Blanca
González fought to a draw over four rounds at lightweight in the
Poliforum
de la Feria,
Torreón,
on the Ávila-Padilla undercard.
