One of female boxing’s best, pound for pound, Holly Holm
(29-1-3, 9 KO’s) has captured the imagination of fight fans with
her ability in the ring and charisma outside of it.
The
Albuquerque native isn’t just a local phenomenon, she is also a
world champion who owns victories over some of the game’s best,
including Chevelle Hallback, Ann Saccurato and Mary Jo Sanders.
Unbeaten since 2004, the 29-year-old southpaw shows no signs of
slowing down.
Facing Holm is 26-year-old Albuquerque standout Victoria
Cisneros (5-11-2, 1 KO) who is stepping in on short notice to
replace Holm’s original opponent, Cindy Serrano, who was forced
to withdraw due to a fractured nose she suffered during
training.
Cisneros is no stranger to this scenario, having faced
Holm in December of 2009 on just a few hours notice and gave
Holm a tough 10 round scrap. With experience gained in wins over
Terri Blair and Letizia Guerrero as well as in memorable battles
with Melissa Hernandez, Chevelle Hallback and Cecilia Braekhus,
Cisneros is ready to deliver some payback.
