(APR 3) On Saturday night,
at the Gimnasio Auditorio in Los Cabos, Mexico, there were two
women's bouts on the card. In one bout, Ana Maria Torres
(28-3-1, 16KOs) stopped Colombian fighter Maria Andrea Miranda
(14-8) in the fourth round to retain her super flyweight
championship. After taking punishment for three rounds, Miranda
sat on her stool when the fourth round started and she was
counted out.
In the second title bout, Ava
Knight scored a tenth round knockout of mandatory challenger
Hongfah Buamas Tor to retain the flyweight championship of the
International Boxing Federation (IBF).
Ava Knight did a great job
staying busy the whole fight, landing crisp, hard punches to the
Thai. Hongfah Tor Buamas tried to retaliate on many occasions,
being successful at times---but her punches lacked the power to
hurt Ava or tilt the fight in her favor. With this, Ava Knight's
mandatory defense is set and she will be looking forward to
fighting the big names of the division.
