(APR 26) LAS VEGAS - Last
night at the Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA, Bantamweight Rosalinda Rodriguez, 117.5, of Miami,
Florida, remains undefeated moving her record to 10-0-0 (2KO)
after she won a six-round unanimous decision (60-54 on all
judges cards), over Martina Horgasz, 117.4, 5-3-0 (4KO)of
Budapest, Hungary.
In what was described as a battle
between these two, that was said to be it a TV worthy fight, and
that Rodriguez and Horgasz left it all in the ring.
One of the commentators said of Rosalinda Rodriguez that she
should be considered one of the top female fighters.
Mercedes Vazquez Simmons,
President of Pretty Girl Promotions told WBAN, "I’m proud of
both women for putting on a stellar fight worthy of a world
title."
"Rosalinda has had some major set
backs in her career including being stripped from a title since
she was not able to defend it during her nearly year long
medical related ring absence. However she was able to push
through and kept positive," added Simmons.
WBAN asked what were the future
plans for Rodriguez, and we were told that it has been her "life
wish" to fight for a WBC Title, and that they hope this happens
in 2019.
Rodriguez is possibly fighting in
May in Puerto Rico, and WBAN will give more details as they
become available.
In a second female bout,
Shurretta Metcalf, 119.5, won a four-round unanimous decision
over Mikayla Nebel, 120. More details needed on the
second bout.
It was nice to see eight-time
world champion Layla McCarter, support the females fighting on
this card, and she posed with Rosalinda Rodriguez in some of the
photos.
