(JUNE 14) Last night at the Centro
Banamex, in Mexico City, Mexico, Ana Maria Torres retained her super
flyweight title over Thailand's Usanakorn Kokietgym.in ten rounds of
boxing. The final judges scores were 95-94, 98-92, 96-94.
According to Notifight.com, The Thai girl started well, making good
use of her advantages of height and reach and, above all, her
southpaw stance to take control of the fight in the early rounds.
But little by little Ana María took the measure of her awkward
opponent, landing her best punches in the second half of the fight
to obtain a unanimous decision, though certainly a close one, in her
favour."
In a second women's bout on the undercard, Melinda Cooper, of Las
Vegas, Nevada, won by a four-round unanimous decision. She fell
short of KO'ing her opponent Miriam Avila in the third round as she
had predicted at the weigh-in. The final judges scores were 40-36,
40-36, and 39-37.
