(NOV 12) On Saturday, November 8th, at
the Siam Park, Tenerife (Spain), Angel McKenzie fought Leticia
Candal in an eight round bout. (translated report) The most keenly
anticipated boxing match of the evening was the one that pitted
Leticia Candal against Angel McKenzie of Great Britain. The pair
were disputing the Sergio Fernández Torres trophy, in memory of the
late lamented president of the Federación Canaria de Boxeo.
It was a hotly disputed contest in
which the Brazilian based in Arona moved very intelligently to avoid
the heavy punching of the southpaw McKenzie.
Their contrasting
styles made for a great fight in which Leticia's speed and mobility
trumped the non-stop attack of the British woman. Although McKenzie
lost by a wide margin on the scorecards, she nonetheless received a
warm ovation. Leticia Candel demonstrated that she is ready now to
dispute serious titles. Source: Thai Sport Canarias
