According to Boxing Total on
Facebook they said the following: "Cecilia Mena did not
disappoint the fans that was to accompany Friday night
outpointing Aline Scaranello. Scaranello went out to
fight without fear and showed a good level.She endured in the
early rounds the ravages of "Pantera" without suffering too many
mishaps. The strategy of Scaranello was to wait and try to
counterpunch.
In the sixth round Scaranello turned up the heat and left Mena
bleeding from her nose. But that did not ease the pressure that
Mena applied to Scaranello, throwing a barrage of combination."
