The WBO/IBF strawweight world champion, Yokasta Valle, seeks to make history for Costa Rica, but standing in her way is a WBC pound-for-pound ace!
Valle has a mountain to climb against WBC/WBA world champion Seniesa “Super Bad” Estrada in a highly anticipated matchup for the undisputed straw-weight title on Friday, March 29 at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
After a recent training session at the Wild Card Boxing Club, this is what Valle had to say:
“This fight is very important because becoming undisputed champion is a dream of mine and because I would be making history for Costa Rica and for all Latinos. It is also important because of the many years of effort in putting women’s boxing where it is now.
“If she is not focused on this fight and she is thinking about other things that have nothing to do with it, then it may be to my advantage. If when she gets in the ring she is thinking about my coach or something else, then I feel like she can lose focus.”
They are going to see the best version of me. I am an aggressive and brave fighter. When the bell rings, I like to throw a lot of punches. So you’re going to see an aggressive Yokasta, throwing so many punches that she doesn’t even realize where they’re hitting her.”
“My trainer Gloria Alvarado knows her very well. But other than that, I have an advantage because she is also an excellent coach. It’s because of that and not because she’s known her since she was a child. She knows how to work with me. “We have a great connection.”
In spite of this, it`s evident that “Super Bad.” is good and ready!
