Fredee González managed to do enough on Friday evening to prevent
"The She-Wolf", Zulina ("La Loba") Muñoz, scoring her eighth
consecutive KO – without, however, doing anything very much to
establish a rival claim to the NABF bantamweight title they were
disputing. It was an attractive fight, according to Jesús López of
Box Latino, that topped the bill at the Auditorio Enrique Batiz in
Cuatlitlán Izcalli, and whilst he doesn't give the scores, we can
take it from his report that Muñoz won by a comfortable margin.
After taking something of a hammering in the first three rounds, in
which she was caught frequently with solid straight lefts and
powerful right hooks to the head, and almost going to the canvas in
the fourth, González rallied bravely in the fifth, managing to
frustrate the 19-year-old champion by fighting at short- to
medium-range and denying her the space to deliver either the left
hook with which she knocked out Beatriz Martínez in her penultimate
encounter or the right cross that (effectively) won her the title
last month.
González had vowed she would take home the title to Querétaro "or
die in the attempt"; and now, with her young opponent under pressure
for the first time in five rounds, was the moment to seize the
initiative and turn the fight around; but when push came to shove,
it was Muñoz that proved the stronger – the stronger physically and
the stronger-willed – and as the champion regained the upper hand
and began mixing in shots to the body with blows to the head,
implacable in search of the KO, González was relegated – and seemed
to accept her relegation – from the role of challenger to that of
prey, whose only objective was to survive, and who would happily
cast off her unbeaten record, her title ambitions, and even her
credibility, if only (please God!) she were allowed to remain on her
feet until the end.
