(NOV 29) In boxing a clash
of undefeated fighters is the perfect combination to arouse
one’s curiosity or interest in a fascinating matchup and thanks
to Lee Murtagh’s Saoirse Promotions the fans of the sweet
science will receive just that as Sam Smith battles Christina
“The Black Mamba” Linardatou for the vacant Universal Boxing
Federation (UBF) International lightweight title.
While many boxing fans will be glued to their television sets,
cell phones or tablets interested in this weekend’s clash
between the undisputed heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko
and the undefeated Tyson Fury, one person will be keeping a
close eye on a championship fight that will take place on Sunday
in the United Kingdom and that person is the current UBF world
lightweight champion Cindy Serrano, one half of the “Serrano
Sisters”.
We caught up with Cindy Serrano, the lightweight champion
and conducted a short interview regarding the Smith vs
Linardatou championship bout.
UBF: What’s your thought on Sam Smith of Leeds facing off
against Christina Linardatou of Greece via Dominican Republic ?
Cindy Serrano: Whatever happens in my division I take
notice, unlike others I love boxing, I live and breath boxing, I
think it is a good matchup and great for the development of both
fighters. They both have limited pro boxing experience and with
the lack of exposure I am sure neither one has been seen in a
fight. From what I have read it's standing room only available
which is always a good thing, we need more women who can sell
out shows and show these promoters us women have huge followings
and support from many fans across the globe.
UBF: Can you give us your prediction on who will win the
battle between Smith/Linardatou?
Cindy Serrano: It should be a interesting fight. Both
fighters are undefeated and usually don't give them “O’s’ away
without a war. However, to predict a winner is almost impossible
at this stage in their careers, no real tough competition
between them to determine who is what. What does impress me the
most is the fact that they are willing to risk their records so
early in their career.
UBF: Any last words for Sam Smith and Christina
Linardatou?
Cindy Serrano: I would like to congratulate both for
getting this far and may the best fighter win on November 29th.
