(SEPT 22) According to
the Executive Secretary of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Sulaimán,
Jazmín ("la Rusita") Rivas of Mexico (11-2, 5 KOs) will be challenging
Kwang Ok Kim of North Korea for the WBC Bantamweight title in North
Korea on the 21st October -- a fight originally scheduled for the 20th
September.
Rivas, who is still only 17 and represented by triple world champion
Erik ("Terrible") Morales, has been training hard for several months now
at the Centro Ceremonial Otomí in preparation for the fight. Critical of
her own performance in her last outing (in Ciudad Obregón last month),
when she stopped the veteran Leticia Arévalo in the sixth round, Rivas
told journalists she needed to punch from a more solid base and achieve
greater continuity in attack. She also admitted she was hit on that
occasion with a frequency inexcusable in view of her opponent's lack of
mobility.
Kwang Ok Kim won the title with a points win over Shiro (Misa) Morimoto
of Japan in North Korea on the 29th June. |
