Carina Moreno face off against Susi Kentikian in Germany
July 06--World Boxing Association flyweight champion Carina Moreno of
Watsonville will put her belt on the line for the first time Saturday
in a rematch with Susi Kentikian in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The co-main event is expected to be streamed online on Germany's ran
de's Boxen website at 1:45 p.m.
Moreno (23-5, 6 KOs) earned the favor of the judges to win a split
decision (96-94, 96-94, 93-97) over Kentikian (30-2, 16 KOs) in
December. Although Moreno, 31, moved up two weight classes to fight
the Armenian, she still earned her fifth career belt in a third weight
class.
She'll travel to Germany for another bout with Kentikian, 25.
"I want to prove that the first fight wasn't a fluke, and now I get
the chance to show people that I have a lot of fight left in me,"
Moreno said in June when her fight was announced. "Many people felt
Susi was one of the best female fighters in the sport and I'm on a
mission to earn that reputation for myself."
