WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion, Yamileth “Yeimi” Mercado, successfully defended her title for the fourth time, defeating veteran Mariana “Barbie” Juarez via a dominant and unifying victory, in the main event of the show presented by Zanfer and 2M Development in the Azteca 7 studio in Mexico City.
“Yeimi” Mercado (20-3, 5 KO’s) allowed her opponent to come forward, to catch her with combinations and in every round, even in the close, she landed the best shot.
Juarez (55-12-4, 19 KO’s) was persistent and determined. She came out with her experience and tried to bring the world champion to the ropes, but her strength decreased in the second half of the fight, and her face began to show the effects of the fight from the sixth round, with swelling in both cheeks.
Mercado boxed well to the back and side, a left hook to Juarez’s face and a long straight right knocked her back and even knocked her down in several rounds.
Juarez had some good moments, but she didn’t have the ability to repeat the fire shot and every time she got a fire shot, “Yeimi” responded.
With the champion dominating the ring, the judges in favor of Mercado confirmed the victory, with a score of 98-92 and two cards 97-93.
