Seniesa Estrada held on to her WBC and WBA strawweight belts Friday evening and, in doing so, could have arrange the undisputed title combat she’s been ready for.
Estrada, ESPN’s No. 1 strawweight, defeated Leonela Yudica by unanimous choice in Las Vegas — a combat that seemed to be one of many hardest of her profession — and retained the highest spot within the division.
It was the third straight choice win for Estrada (25-0, 9 KO), who final had a stoppage in 2021. It was the second loss in three fights for Yudica (19-2-3, 1 KO), who debuted at strawweight after an nearly nine-year reign because the IBF flyweight champion.
Subsequent up for Estrada might be a bout with Yokasta Valle, the No. 2 fighter at strawweight and the IBF and WBO titleholder, for the undisputed championship.
At junior flyweight, Tania Enriquez knocked out previously-unbeaten Cecilia Nino Rodriguez (10-1-1, 5 KO) within the first spherical in Tijuana, Mexico. The win moved the 26-year-old Enriquez (21-1, 10 KO) to No. 4 within the junior flyweight rankings, above Anabel Ortiz.
Saturday presents one other large evening in girls’s boxing as one undisputed title is on the road and one other unification combat is going on a continent away.
In Texas on Saturday evening, undisputed featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (44-2-1, 30 KO) — the No. 1 fighter within the division — takes on her lifelong buddy from Brooklyn, New York, Heather Hardy (24-2, 4 KO) in a rematch of their WBO featherweight title combat in New York in 2019.
Serrano received that combat and it helped launch her profession towards undisputed standing. Now, they’re going to combat once more because the co-feature on the Jake Paul-Nate Diaz pay-per-view card (ESPN+ PPV) in what’s more likely to be one other entertaining combat by two high-volume punchers.
On the identical card, ESPN’s No. 2 tremendous middleweight, Shadasia Inexperienced (12-0, 11 KO), will tackle the No. 4 middleweight, Olivia Curry (7-1, 2 KO), and if Inexperienced wins there might be an opportunity for her to face the undisputed tremendous middleweight champion, Savannah Marshall, within the close to future.
In Kobe, Japan, WBA atomweight champion Montserrat Alarcon, ESPN’s No. 1 fighter within the division, will combat Yuko Kuroki, the No. 4 atomweight and WBO champion. It is the primary title protection for Kuroki (21-7-2, 9 KO), who beat Nanae Suzuki in March to win the belt. This would be the fourth title protection for Alarcon (18-4-2), who final fought in September 2022 when she beat Brenda Balderas Martinez.
In Atlanta, former Olympian Oshae Jones (3-0) takes on Miranda Barber (3-4, 1 KO) in a 6-round junior middleweight combat and in Baltimore, prospect Mia Ellis (6-1, 5 KO) fights Jessica Emerick (1-1-1, 1 KO) in a six-round junior featherweight bout.
Rankings will probably be up to date each Tuesday. They will be based mostly on current bouts, head-to-head competitors and the standard of opponent. As with nearly the whole lot, till fighters sq. off in opposition to each other, there’s a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who have not fought in 18 months and haven’t got a combat scheduled will probably be faraway from the rankings till they combat once more.
