(JULY 20) After a great reign
in the flyweight division, Mariana "La Barbie" Juarez, shall
vacate her WBC title for weight problems.
Last Saturday, in Ontario, California, when Juarez fought
Japan's Shindo Go, Juarez felt that one of her main problems
were weight issues in that fight. and that she did not fight the
greatest in that bout. This bout was Juarez's seventh
defense of her WBC Flyweight belt.
Juarez said in a post fight
interview, "This was my last fight in the flyweight division, I will vacate
the title to find the super flyweight or the bantamweight. On
this occasion I had a hard time making weight, since I faced Toktaulova
on February 25 the complications with the scale began."
The bout last weekend was one of the most complicated for
Juarez-----she was not the technical or a fast boxer which we
[her team] are
accustomed to. Her legs did not respond and her weakness was
evident.
We must recognize that Go was a magnificent rival, who showed
great courage, and did not miss any opportunity to crash her hard blows
to the head of "La Barbie". Shindo Go never flinched and this made
that the audience at the Citizens Bussines Bank Arena, witness a
tremendous battle.
Juarez added: “I am ready to face Jackie Nava for the WBC Diamond
belt, they just need to agree with my promoter, Dr. Fausto
Daniel Garcia, who told me that I will fight first in Chicago
against another opponent."
