(NOV 6) Former 4-time world
champion, Carina "La Reina" Moreno (22-5, 6 KOs) has signed a
contract to fight WBA Flyweight champion, Susi Kentikian (29-1,
16 KOs) on December 1, 2012. The 10-round championship bout will
take place in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Once considered a pound for pound female champion, Moreno looks
to regain he status as one of the best fighters in the world of
women's boxing. A win against Kentikian will put Moreno back on
top of the food chain.
"This is a big fight to get my career back on track and I feel
confident that the judging will be fair when I fight Kentikian
in Germany," said Moreno. "Melissa McMorrow won a majority
decision over there so it's possible to beat her on her home
turf. Right now my trainer Rick Noble has me working on some
flaws we see in Susi's defense. It's going to be a difficult
fight but I feel I can get the victory and bring back home the
title."
After being robbed in her last two fights, Moreno's trainer Rick
Noble is hoping to get a fair shake she travels to Germany to
face Kentikian.
"In Carina's last fight against Irma Sanchez (25-5-1, 7 KOs) she
clearly won almost every round, but they gave Sanchez the
decision," stated Nobel. "The fight before that, Carina
completely dominated Cindy Amador (9-0, 1 KOs) and the judges
gave her every round. I just hope this time around we get fair
judging. Carina is ready to go and we are expecting Susi to be
at her best. We need to go in there and take the fight to Susi
and bring that belt home to the United States."
