In a special ceremony in the city centre at 1 pm on Saturday 9^th June, three of Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl's outstanding sportsmen, WBC champions Humberto "Chiquita" González, José Luis Bueno and Ana María Torres,  will be honoured by the city's Primer Síndico,  Juan Manuel Zepeda Hernández. The ceremony will be preceded by 11 amateur bouts.

Torres - La Guerrera de Neza ("The Warrior of Neza") as she is known - won the interim super flyweight title on the Mar de Campeones  bill in Xalapa on the 7^th October 2006 . Fears that her opponent on that occasion, Mayela ("the Little Cobra") Pérez of Saltillo, might quit the sport after being taken to the woodshed by Torres in the sixth round, turned out to be over-alarmist. Pérez, a swift and elusive fighter who had angered Torres before the fight with what were felt to be disparaging remarks, refused to quit when she was trapped in the corner, and though the referee respected her wishes for as long as was reasonably possible, he was forced to intervene 10 seconds from the end of the round as she was out on her feet. La Cobrita  has since taken the advice of the promoter and dropped down to junior flyweight, where she will be challenging the champion, Anabel ("The Wasp") Ortiz, in what should be a real thriller in Tepic on the 15^th June.
