Zanfer Promotions presented an exciting show to cap off the 64th annual WBC convention Acapulco, Mexico on Thursday night. Boxing’s youngest champion at 18 years old, Camila Zamorano, defended boxing’s lightest title- the WBC Atomweight (102 lbs.) crown against Brenda Balderas, at the Arena GNP.
Camila Zamorano defeated Brenda Balderas to retain her WBC Atomweight title. The formula of the lanky Zamorano was simple- long range hooks, crosses and jabs would seal the victory. Anytime Balderas was able to get in close, she would get clinched and tied up. By the fourth round, Balderas was swelling underneath both eyes. With the WBC open scoring in place, it was announced that Zamorano was ahead after four rounds: 40-36.
Late in round 6, two straight right hands appeared to rock Balderas. To her credit, the challenger never stopped pressing forward. After eight rounds, it was 80-72, 78-74 and 79-73, all for Zamorano.
There was little change over the last four rounds as the scores reflected 100-90, 98-92 twice all four for the youngest champion boxing- Camila Zamorano.
