Moreno defeated Kentikian in Germany

In a somewhat surprising result, the Californian Carina Moreno defeated former world champion Susi Kentikian by split decision to win the vacant female fly title of the World Boxing Association (WBA), on Saturday night in the main fight of the boxing show held in Burg-Waechter Castello in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Moreno had lost four of her last fights; however, she managed to prevail in of the three judges’ scorecards 96-94 y 96-94, while the third scored the bout 97-93 for Kentikian.  Moreno seized the WBA flyweight title from a rival like the Armenian-German Kentikian who until a few years ago was considered the best fighter pound for pound in the world.

With this result, Moreno claimed the WBA Crown, improving her record to 23-5 with six knockouts, while Kentikian fell to 29-2 with 16 knockouts. The two losses have been consecutive.


Moreno derrotó a Kentikian en Alemania

En un resultado un tanto sorpresivo, la californiana Carina Moreno se impuso por decisión dividida a la ex campeona mundial Susi Kentikian , para conquistar el vacante título mundial mosca femenino de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB), este sábado por la noche en el combate estelar de una cartelera que fue organizada en el Burg-Waechter Castello, en Düsseldorf, Alemania.

Moreno venía de perder cuatro de sus últimos combates, pero logró imponerse en dos de las tres tarjetas de los jueces 96-94 y 96-94, mientras que un tercer lateral la vio perder 97-93. Pero con este resultado, se agenció la corona mosca de la AMB, ante una rival como la armenia-alemana Kentikian que hasta hace algunos años, era considerada la mejor peleador del mundo libra por libra.

Con este resultado, Moreno reclama la corona de la AMB, mejorando su record a 23-5, con 6 nocauts, mientras que Kentikian cayó a 29-2, con 16 nocauts. Las dos derrotas de Kentikian son en forma consecutiva.
