Yes Yesenia!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

WBC light flyweight female champion Yesenia \u2018\u2019La Nina\u201d G\u00f3mez, 16-5-3, 6 KO\u2019s retained her title against Debora \u2018\u2019Pantera\u2019\u2019 Rengifo 13-6-1, 7 KO\u2019s from Venezuela at the Plaza de Toros in Cancun.<\/p>\n

A huge ovation during the introductions for Yesenia who\u2019s the local heroine.<\/p>\n

Yesenia who\u2019s trained\u00a0 by Ruben Lira made use of her greater height and reach with a punishing left jab in the first and some wide sweeping right hooks against the brawling Deb.<\/p>\n

A very big right hook from the Champion in the second to the head visibly hurt her challenger and she also more accurately got the better of a wild exchange just before the bell.<\/p>\n

Yesenia backed Deb on to ropes in the third and was head hunting to good effect, occasionally picking up the odd jarring right hook herself.<\/p>\n

Yet the champion\u2019s defense has improved. She timed a stinging counter right to the face, brushing a pigtail from her own face in the process, then parrying a desperate charge and turning the tables with an effective counter attack in the fourth<\/p>\n

The Venezuelan slipped against the ropes in the fifth, but the champion classily backed off instead of taking advantage.<\/p>\n

Yesenia continued to press the attack\u2019s in the sixth with harder jabs and combos and as the bell rang deb shook her\u00a0 head in frustration.<\/p>\n

Effective to head attack in the seventh.\u00a0 The champion was pursuing a more elusive challenger who had tasted her power and was evading it.<\/p>\n

A huge attack with the challenger backed into the ropes brought dividends in the eighth. With a multi combination the champion battered her to the canvass and she got up for an eight standing count.<\/p>\n

Stung by a big right hook in the ninth Yesenia fought back with grit against a still dangerous swollen face opponent.<\/p>\n

In the final round went for the KO while keeping her boxing together. Far better technically she had dominated throughout, to win a well deserved UD, 97-92 twice and 99-90.<\/p>\n
