(JUNE 18)
Costa Mesa, CA. – When top female boxers Rhonda Luna and Crystal
Morales put on a six round war in their June 6th Fight Club OC
bout, which Luna won in a close unanimous decision, a certain
rematch was in order. So promoter Roy Englebrecht went right to
work and announced today that Luna vs. Morales II will happen on
the August 15th Fight Club OC show in The Hangar at the OC Fair
& Event Center, but this time it will be 10 rounds, and for the
vacant IFBA World Lightweight Championship.
“After the tremendous bout on June 6th, where many in the crowd
thought it could have been a draw or split decision, I felt that
both ladies deserved a rematch and for a reward worthy of their
ability,” said Englebrecht. “Now with the support of IFBA
Founder and President Judy Kulis, Rhonda and Crystal will fight
for a world title and a dream for one of the ladies will finally
come true.”
Luna will bring an outstanding 17-3 record into the title fight,
while Morales might be the best 7-9 boxer in the country, as she
is in nothing but wars against solid competition.
