(OCT 22) Melinda “La Maravilla” Cooper (21-1, 11 KOs) and Ada Velez (19-3-3, 6 KOs) have finally scheduled a rematch on Sunday, November 20th for the IBF Super Bantamweight Title.

Their last encounter took place in Costa Rica and resulted in a split decision win for Velez. Last time out against Velez, the Las Vegas native, Cooper left the title belt and her unblemished record behind. It also left a bit of unresolved scoring controversy that both women are anxious to resolve this time out. The rematch will take place a little closer to home for Cooper and, on what she feels, is more neutral soil. The Texas Station Gambling House and Hotel will stage what has the potential for explosive action on Sunday, November 20th and it's one of two female world title bouts being featured by Sampson Boxing.

WBAN will be at this fight to cover it in Las Vegas.
