Argentinean junior bantamweight Daniela "La Bonita" Bermúdez
was born on July 7 1989 in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. She comes from
a family of
boxers who run the Bermúdez Boxing Club in Villa Gobernador
Galvez, Santa Fe. Three of her five brothers - Rozana, Evelin and
Gustavo - are also boxers.
She made her professional
debut on 26 March 2010 at Estadio Pedro Estremador in San Carlos de
Bariloche, Rio Negro, Argentina. She weighed in at 119 lbs and won a
four-round split (39½-38½, 39½-38, 38½-39) decision over Roxana Baron
(122 lbs) of Buenos
Aires, who fell to 1-1 (1 KO) with the loss.
On April 23 2010 at Club El Ciclon in
Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (115¼ lbs) knocked out
Maria Terriaza (117 lbs) of Buenos Aires in the second round of a
scheduled four.
Terriaza fell to 0-8-1.
On July 17 2010 at Polideportivo Vicente
Polimeni, Las Heras, Mendoza, Argentina Daniela Bermúdez (122¼ lbs)
fought to a four-round majority draw with Betiana "La Terrible" Vinas
(124½
lbs) of Mendoza, Argentina, whose record moved to 2-2-1 with this
result.
On September 10 2010 at Polideportivo San
Pedro in San Martin, Mendoza, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (122¼ lbs)
and Betiana Vinas (125¾ lbs) fought to another four-round majority draw
in a rematch of their previous fight.
On November 13, 2010 at Club Sportivo
America in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (117¼ lbs)
won a four-round unanimous decision over Graciela Inez De Luca (117½
lbs) of Ensenada, Buenos Aires who fell to 0-4.
On February 19 2011 at Salón Municipal in
Villa del Dique, Cordoba, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (116¼ lbs) won a
four-round unanimous (40-38,39½-38½,40-38) decision over Cristina del
Valle Pacheco (119 lbs) of Cordoba. Bermúdez worked her jab from the
outside against the more experienced Pacheco in the opener but was more
willing to trade at close quarters in the second round. Pacheco
appeared to be hurt by a clash of heads later in the round after an
exchange in which both swung looping punches. A similar exchange in the
third persuaded the referee to call a time out while Pacheco recovered.
Pacheco tried to take the fight to Bermúdez after this but was unable
to
match Bermúdez' furious punching rate in the final round. Pacheco, who
ended the bout with a huge lump over her left eye from the
third round head clash, fell to 5-6-2 (1 KO) with the loss on her home
turf.
On April 15 2011 at Club Estudiantes de
Bahia Blanca in Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Daniela Bermúdez (116 lbs)
lost a ten-round unanimous (94-97,94-97,94-96) decision to Soledad
Matthysse (118 lbs) of Rafaela, Trelew, Chubut, Argentina in the first
ten-rounder for both boxers. Matthysse improved her record to 8-1-1 (1
KO) with the win.
On August 20, 2011 at Ce.De.M. N° 1 in
Caseros, Buenos Aires, Daniela Bermúdez (121 lbs) reversed her previous
loss with a hard fought six-round majority (57½-57½,
58½-57½, 58½-57) decision over Soledad Matthysse (122½ lbs) in a
rematch of their April bout. Bermúdez began cautiously, allowing
a willing Matthysse to pursue her around the ring in the opener, but
was quicker to close with her and trade in the second. The third round
saw a lot of close quarters action with Matthysse moving in
aggressively
but Bermúdez making her power shots count. The fourth was more of the
same, with Bermúdez having success as she loaded up on her shots at
close quarters. Bermúdez showed she could fight effectively with her
back to the ropes in the fifth, and her punching power began to make
the difference as she was able to move Matthysse around the ring. The
final stanza saw toe to toe action with both landing hard at times but
Bermúdez scored the hardest shots of the session to eke out the close
decision.
On September 24, 2011 at Polideportivo
Posta del Retamo in Junin, Mendoza, Argentina, undefeated junior
flyweight Yesica Bopp (5'0", 107 lbs) from
Wilde, Buenos Aires won a ten-round unanimous (96-94,97-94,100-90)
decision over Daniela Bermúdez (107¾ lbs) defending the WBA Junior
Flyweight
title. Bermúdez had a significant size advantage and looked more
than 3/4 lb heavier than Bopp but Bopp's balance, movement and speed
kept
her out of any serious danger in the fight. Bermúdez showed willingness
to go forward and mix
it up with her more experienced opponent and appeared to have Bopp
worried at
times, but she did not vary her attack much or wear
Bopp down. When the fight got to close quarters, Bopp displayed hand
speed and infighting skills that often led to warnings to Bermúdez for
holding. Bermúdez fell to 5-2-2 (1 KO) with a loss that
was much less one-sided than the lone 100-90 score
suggested while Bopp advanced to 17-0 (7 KO's).
On November 19 2011 at Club Independiente
in Villa del Totoral, Cordoba, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (116½ lbs)
returned to bantamweight to win a six-round unanimous
(60-56½,60-54,60-53½)
decision over Norma Diaz Caucota (116½ lbs) of Formosa, Argentina who
fell to 0-12 with the loss. Bermúdez used her height and speed
advantages to control the action throughout a match in which she was
never in any difficulty.
On January 14 2012 at Polideportivo
Municipal in Monte Hermoso, Buenos Aires, Daniela Bermúdez (111¼ lbs)
TKO'd Marta Soledad Juncos (112½ lbs) of Santa Rosa de Río Primero,
Cordoba, Argentina, at 0:45 in the second round of a scheduled
six. Bermúdez mixed up her punches from the start of this fight,
alternating attacks to her opponent's head and body. Juncos was stunned
in a corner by a barrage of lefts and rights to her head at the end of
the first round. Bermúdez kept up the two-fisted pressure in the second
and the referee
called the fight to save the clearly outgunned Juncos from unnecessary
punishment.
Juncos fell to 4-5-2 (0 KO's) with the loss.
On March 31, 2012 at Club Atlético Talleres
in her home town of Villa Gobernador Galvez, Santa Fe, Daniela Bermúdez
(116 lbs) won the interim WBA Bantamweight title with a hard fought
ten-round majority (96-94, 96-95, 95-95) decision over Mayerlin Rivas
(5'5", 117¼ lbs) of Maracaibo, Venezuela. After spending most of
the
first round boxing cautiously, Bermúdez opened up with both fists near
the
end of the session to drive Rivas into a corner and liven up her home
crowd. Bermúdez continued to press the action in the second but Rivas
showed enough movement and defensive skills to stay out of trouble.
Rivas showed quickness and agility keeping herself out of punching
range
while she looked for counter punching opportunities. Rivas frustrated
Bermúdez by keeping the fight mostly at long range in the middle rounds
and she proved to be tricky and agile when backed against the ropes, to
limit Bermúdez's two-fisted clubbing flurries. In the later rounds
Rivas
showed good composure against Bermúdez's fierce (but often inaccurate)
attack and was able to
give enough back to keep it close on the scorecards although Bermúdez
had landed the fight's hardest shots. Rivas dropped to 7-2-1 (6 KO's)
with the loss.
On May 12, 2012 at Club America in General Piran, Buenos Aires, Daniela Bermúdez (115¾ lbs) won a ten-round
unanimous (99-91,97-94,96-94) decision over Judith Rodriguez (5′1½",
116 lbs) of Mexico City defending the interim WBA Junior Bantamweight
title. Rodriguez fell to 6-3 (4 KO's) with the loss.
On August 24. 2012 at Club Sportivo America
in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez TKO'd Olga Julio of
Barranquilla, Colombia in the second round of a scheduled ten-rounder
defending the interim WBA Junior Bantamweight title. Julio came
out looking to box and dodge Bermúdez's early shots but carried her
gloves low and was soon in trouble as she was unable to avoid
several hard overhand rights from Bermúdez. Bermúdez ramped up
the pressure in the second round and beat a defenseless Julio to her
knees against the corner ropes, causing the referee to wave off the
bout. Julio fell
to 14-13-1 (9 KO's).
On December 22. 2012 at Club Sportivo
America, Rosario, Santa Fe, Daniela Bermúdez (118¾ lbs) won a six-round
unanimous (60-52½, 60-54, 60-54½) decision over Anahi Yolanda Salles
(122
lbs) of
Carmen de Patagones, Buenos Aires. Bermúdez
went full tilt early in the fight and overpowered Salles against the
ropes
in the opener using a good mix of head and body attack. Salles kept up
a good work rate despite a relentless barrage from Bermúdez in the
second and was
able to survive and keep throwing something back all the way to the end
of a one-sided affair. Salles ended the fight with a badly bruised
right cheek but she was still
on her her feet as her record fell to 3-11-2 (3 KO's).
On February 8. 2013 at Club El Ciclon in
Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (113 lbs) won a ten
round unanimous (99-89,99-89,100-88) decision over Romina Alcantra
(112½ lbs) of Cordoba,
Argentina defending the interim WBA Junior Bantamweight title. Alcantra
tried to go forward to mix it up with Bermúdez from the start but she
lacked the punching power to prevail in toe to toe action and was
frequently overpowered. Alcantra stumbled to the canvas at the end of a
heavy barrage against the ropes in the second and was dropped to her
knees by a clubbing right to the head at the end of the fifth.
Alcantra also slipped to the canvas near the start of the sixth and was
often reeling under the barrage from Bermúdez but Bermúdez could not
put her away. Some of the power appeared to go out of Bermúdez's
punches as she tired in the late rounds so Alcantra was able to last
the full ten despite the lop-sided action. Alcantra
fell to 6-4-1 (0 KO's).
On April 12, 2013 at Centro Cosmopolita
Unión y Progreso in Roldán, Santa Fe, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (115
lbs) defended the interim WBA Junior Bantamweight title with a
ten-round unanimous decision over Guadalupe Martinez (114¾ lbs) of
Tlalnepantla, México.
On May 31, 2013 at Gimnasio Pedro Estremador
in San Carlos de Bariloche, Rio Negro, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez
(117½
lbs) won by a TKO in the first round over Neisi Torres (118 lbs) of
Barranquilla, Colombia for the vacant WBO Bantamweight title.
Torres was rocked by several shots to the head in the first round and
the fight was
stopped when she turned her back to Bermúdez and walked away from her
along the
ropes after taking punishment in a corner.
Torres fell to 8-1-1 (5 KO's).
On September 13, 2013 at GAP Disco in Mar
del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (115 lbs) defended
the interim WBA Junior Bantamweight title with a ten-round unanimous
(100-91,100-90,100-90) decision over Judith Rodriguez (114¾ lbs) of
Mexico City in a rematch of their May 2012 bout. The boxers mixed it up
to the head and body from the start but it was soon clear that
Bermúdez's edge in punching power and aggressiveness would be the
difference in the fight. Both scored with full force shots but it
was Rodriguez who was backed up more often and forced to fight with her
back against the ropes. Bermúdez threw a lot of leather that
missed its mark but her confidence grew as the fight went on without
Rodriguez finding a way to change the dynamics of the fight.
Rodriguez fell to 6-5
(4 KO's) with the loss.
On January 4, 2014 at Piso de los Deportes
in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Daniela Bermúdez (114 lbs)
scored an eighth-round TKO over Linda Laura Lecca (114¾ lbs) of Lima
Peru for the vacant WBO Junior Bantamweight title. The fight took a
different course than some of Bermúdez's other outings because
Lecca demonstrated an ability to counter Bermúdez's forward rushes with
sharp, accurate counters as well as the ability to brawl with her at
close quarters on more even terms than her previous opponents. Bermúdez
was forced to box more carefully and be more wary of what was coming
back her way despite her size advantage over her Peruvian opponent.
Some of the toe to toe exchanges ended with Bermúdez backing up as
Lecca did her share of dishing out punishment. The fight took a
bizarre turn at the end of the fifth round when the referee went to
Leccas's corner and began pointing to the sequins on Lecca's top.
Several minutes elapsed and Lecca looked upset as it became clear that the
referee was insisting that she remove the sequined top and replace
it with something less likely to cause injury. Lecca fell to
8-2-1 (3 KO's) with the loss while Bermúdez improved to 16-2-2 (5
KO's).
On August 27, 2016, in Mexico City, Mexico, there
