CIUDAD CARIBIA, Venezuela — The professional boxing community is raising safety concerns following a highly controversial, heavily criticized matchup that took place at "The Ring" in Ciudad Caribia.

Local female boxer Roxana Maria "La Guajira" Colmenarez advanced her record to 13-8-1 (10KO) after stopping fellow Venezuelan fighter Angie Colmenarez (with the same last name, is this her sister or a coincidence) by a third-round TKO in a bout originally scheduled for an eight round bout.

Following the stoppage, the 33-year-old fighter dropped to a winless career record of 0-19-0. In a shocking statistic that exposes severe failures in the regional sanctioning and matchmaking process, all 19 of her career losses have been recorded as consecutive KOs or TKOs, spanning from her professional debut in July 2022.

Despite possessing a 0% survival rate inside the distance and an extensive history of stoppage defeats, Angie Colmenarez was inexplicably sanctioned to step into an eight-round bout against a competent boxer who has previously gone ten rounds with elite global champions.

Fights like this gives local promoters opportunities to quickly build a prospective fighter's win record on paper without spending money on travel or accommodation for outside opponents.

To worsen regulatory oversight, both fighters share identical surnames.

The bout lasted less than three rounds before the referee was forced to intervene, handing Angie Colmenarez her 19th straight stoppage defeat. This fight stands as a stark reminder of the dark side of professional boxing, where the health and safety of a winless journeyman are actively compromised for the sake of artificial record building.
