Mayelli Rosquero Beats Nazarena Romero In A War For The Title
In a super bantamweight war, Mayelli Rosquero defeated WBA champion Nazarena “Caprico” Romero by split decision.
From the opening round, it was all gas, no brakes, as both women threw punches like video game characters. This Classic Mexico vs Argentina rival fight didn’t disappoint as Rosquero attacked the Argentinian champion like a Tasmanian devil. She landed a punch that busted that busted Caprico’s nose.
Romero returned fire by landing hard right hands. Realizing the Mexican challenger wasn’t afraid of her power, Romero went on an all-out body attack in the closing rounds. In the end, one judge saw it 98-92 for Romero, with the other two scoring it 96-94 for Rosquero.
If Rosquero wants to go for undisputed, she will have to wait as unified champion Ellie Scotney is fighting WBC champion Yamileth Mercado on July 11. In this author’s opinion, a rematch is worth making as these women threw a total of 1482 punches in two-minute rounds. In addition, Probox TV may be willing to pay them more money as a reward for putting on a terrific fight.
