Gabriela Diana Fundora moves up to 11-0
With a spring in her step, Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora (11-0, 4KO) continues her march towards the conquest of the flyweight division, defeating María “Imparable” Micheo Santizo, last Saturday afternoon at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
Both fighters got involved in an incessant exchange of punches in which María Micheo managed to impose herself at short and medium distance.
Although it was not easy for the fighter from Coachella, California, Fundora managed to gain the edge, even though she suffered a nose injury, which caused profuse bleeding.
