Twenty-year-old Fredee González's dreams
of a world title lay in ruins last night after
Zulina Muñoz (one year younger and a whole lot more talented, it
seems) beat her for the second time in ten weeks; and this time — as
she had promised — she did so far more convincingly. Both women had
made excuses for their performances last time, with Muñoz saying she
had been ill and González, that she had had insufficient time to
prepare, that she was in fact the stronger of the two, and that she
could knock Muñoz out.
Not last night, she couldn't. According to Sergio Abarca (Notimex),
'The She-Wolf', Muñoz, was far superior from the start, punishing
her challenger for the NABF bantamweight title with blows to both
head and body, and systematically undermining her resistance to the
point where referee Evaristo Cedillo was forced to intervene and put
a stop to the unequal contest, nineteen seconds into the seventh
round.
So the fight lasted just over twelve minutes; and the arguments —
that had become quite bitter — about which of the two Mexican
youngsters was in fact the better prospect can now, one assumes, be
laid to rest.
