The fight took place on Saturday night at the Chess Club, in La Calera, Córdoba province, Argentina.

The native of Catamarca had a good start and made a difference with precision and a perfect left hook. During the second round, the boxer nicknamed “la Capricho” advanced with determination in her attack, applying punishment with a combination of continuous blows to her rival Cardozo. Immediately, the referee Gerardo Poggi stopped the actions to decree the TKO in favor of the Córdoba native.
