(AUG 27) In a recent
report published by La Esquina Azul (Original publication
written in Spanish link, Esmeralda "Joya" Moreno attended the WBC's weekly "Martes
de Café" gathering held at the WBC Headquarters in Mexico City,
to personally meet with WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán and
request a review of her fight against WBC Female Jr. Flyweight
Champion Jessica "Kika" Chavez.
In her petition to
the WBC, Moreno expresses her disappointment in being declared
the loser in her title fight against Chávez. She mentioned that
should fight video be reviewed that it will clearly show she
defeated Kika.
WBAN looks forward to hearing about the development of this
review and will let keep you all posted.

A review of the fight between "Joya" Moreno and "Kika" Chavez(@YessiChav)
Published by La Esquina Azul 08/25/16
The "Jewel " had the opportunity to speak directly with Mauricio
Sulaiman about her fight with " Kika " Chavez.
Esmeralda Moreno is sure that she won the fight she had against
Yessica Chavez and that she and not "Kika" should be the WBC
Flyweight Champion.
So Esmeralda herself attended the World Boxing Council
headquarters personally to ask WBC President, Mauricio Sulaiman,
to send her bout with Yessica for review.
We'll have to see if the WBC proceeds or not.
The fact that Moreno mentioned the importance of this revision
is because of this kind of dubious failure which jeopardizes the
credibility of sport and the spirit of the people who box as
well as the public that tunes into the fights.
