Adelaida Ruiz crowned WBC champion

Adelaida Ruiz conquered the interim World Boxing Council super flyweight title after a ten-round unanimous decision victory over Sonia Osorio, at the Ciudad Deportiva Heiner Ugalde in San José, Costa Rica.

Ruiz was in complete control of the action, keeping Osorio at a distance. A smart tactic considering the first fight last March 20 only lasted two rounds and ended in a technical draw. Osorio suffered a cut over her left eye from a clash of heads, so she was unable to continue.

Ruiz used her jab effectively, complimented with her right hand, showing her technical superiority.

“I feel very happy. This is a great victory for me and for my team. I am living and realizing a dream that I always had,” Ruíz commented.

Judges Julio César Alvarado (100-90), Nicolás Valenzuela (98-92) and Sixto Rincón (99-91) scored in favor of Ruiz in this entertaining match.
