Yamileth Mercado UD's Paulette Valenzuela
Mexican Yamileth Mercado defeated her compatriot Paulette Valenzuela by unanimous decision achieving and savoring the sixth successful defense of her World Boxing Council super bantamweight title, in Xochitepec, Morelos, Mexico.
From the outset, Yamileth was on a mission, focused and aggressive.
She harried and drove her opponent against the ropes and punished her with overhand rights and hooks to the body.
For her part, Valenzuela showed great unflinching courage under fire, but it was not enough to overcome the intensity of the oncoming onslaught.
Yamileth prevailed on the Judges' cards by 98-92, 98-92 and 97-93.
