In the women\u2019s main event, Balbuena (3-0) put on a commanding performance against Juana \u00c1lvarez (8-14, 1 KO), winning by unanimous decision with scorecards of 79-73, 79-73, and 80-72 to claim the WBA Fedelatin welterweight (147 lbs) crown.<\/p>\n
The fighter from Santa Fe dictated the action from the opening round, showcasing superior rhythm, accuracy, and distance control. \u00c1lvarez struggled to find solutions for Balbuena\u2019s well-executed strategy, as the young contender continued to build momentum as one of Argentina\u2019s brightest female prospects.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s feature, Ver\u00f3n (12-2, 4 KOs) turned in an impressive performance to dethrone previously unbeaten Enzo Delgado (12-1-1, 6 KOs), claiming the WBA Fedelatin lightweight (135 lbs) title by scores of 98-92, 98-92, and 97-93. \u201cEl Profe\u201d demonstrated poise and tactical discipline, setting the pace and neutralizing Delgado\u2019s power and aggression.
