Title fights from around the world: Camila Zamorano triumphs once again
Today, boxing world title fights take place around the globe and are more accessible to watch than ever before. Sometimes, championship bouts do not receive as much attention and go underreported. Big Fight Weekend commits to writing about boxing news, previews, and recaps. As such, the site now has a recurring segment on boxing championship bouts from around the world from the past week.
The focus of these pieces will be on clashes ranging from atomweight to heavyweight that had the WBA, WBC, IBF, and/or WBO titles on the line. This week’s edition of “Title Fights From Around the World” consists of one recap. Read on to see how the fight went.
Title fights from around the world: Camila Zamorano triumphs once again
Camila Zamorano vs. Perla Pérez fight recap
Camila Zamorano (15-0, 1 KO) remains the youngest current world champion with a unanimous decision victory against Perla Pérez (9-10-1, 1 KO).
Scores for their bout were 98-92 (x2) and 97-93. Zamorano remains the WBC atomweight world champion with the win. Previously an interim titleholder, she was later promoted to full titlist. This was Zamorano’s third defence.
Zamorano-Pérez took place on an Aug. 22 Zanfer Promotions card at the Arena Potosí in San Luis Potosí, México. Fight fans in México could catch the action live on Azteca 7. The full bout can now be viewed on YouTube.
Zamorano established the jab early on and mostly moved off of the back foot. She used her longer reach to comfortably land shots from a distance. Pérez was almost always on the front foot and swung punches when she felt that she had gotten within range. The approach gave her some success, but Zamorano’s style allowed her to maintain control of proceedings for the most part. She ultimately boxed her way to a unanimous decision win.
