In an intense fight from start to finish, Canadian Jelena Mrdjenovich recaptured the featherweight titles of the World Boxing Council and the World Boxing Association, defeating now-former world champion Argentine Soledad Matthysse by unanimous decision this Friday night. in the main event of a card that took place at the Shaw Conference Center in Edmonton, Canada.
Mrdjenovich had to work hard to beat Matthysse in this rematch, after she was beaten in August last year in Argentina. And she did so during those 10 intense rounds, which were crowned in the 10th when she sent the South American to the canvas with an accurate left hook that slammed into her face.
That last-round knockdown was undoubtedly the nail for Mrdjenovich to tip the scorecards in his favor, as the judges scored tight scores of 96-93, 96-93 and 97-92.
Soledad, 35, now has a record of 14 wins (1 KO), eight losses and one draw, while the Canadian (33) has a record of 36 wins (19 KO), 10 setbacks and a draw. (NotiFight.com)
