(FEB 16) Last night at the Estadio F.A.B. in Buenos Aires was featured three female boxing bouts that showcased some newer female boxers on the scene.  The following are the fights that took place.  Aldana Florencia Lopez vs. Leiryn Flores:  Aldana Florencia Lopez from Buenos Aires faced off against Caracas native Leiryn Flores in a ten-round bout. Lopez who emerged victorious, not through a conventional win, but via disqualification. The two were fighting for the WBA Fedelatin Fly title. 

In the ninth round, Flores was disqualified for delivering a headbutt that left Lopez with a deep cut above her eye. The referee deemed the injury severe enough to halt the contest, awarding Lopez a victory by DQ.

In another bout on the card, Florencia Escalante made her professional debut against Veronica Isabel Nunez in a four-round match. Fighting out of Buenos Aires and weighing 127 pounds, Escalante demonstrated her potential early on. The judges unanimously scored the bout in her favor with scorecards of 36-40, 35-40, and 36-40.

Escalante used her speed and footwork, keeping Nunez, who weighed in at 128 ½ pounds from Concordia, Entre Rios, at bay. While it may have been Nunez's experience that placed her in the ring, it was undeniably Escalante’s night as she proved herself this night, gaining experience and confidence in the process.

In a third female bout, Leonela Rosa Sanchez also made her professional debut later that evening. Weighing in at 121 pounds, Sanchez faced Romina Garro, who came in slightly heavier at 121 ¼ pounds. This four-round contest ended with Sanchez earning a unanimous decision win, with all three judges scoring the bout 40-36 in her favor.
