(APR 13) Undefeated World
Boxing Federation (WBF) Women's World Super Bantamweight
Champion Segolene Lefebvre retained her title for the fourth
time on Friday night, April 12, outboxing Argentinian Laura
Soledad Griffa at the Salle Gayant in her home-town of Douai,
France.
It was a typical masterclass performance from 25-year-old
Lefebvre, who appeared to have the upper hand in every
department and at times easily picked off the game Soledad
Griffa (33) to win a wide unanimous decision.
Judges Grzegorz Molenda, Jerome Lades and Jean-Marie Natus all
scored the fight 99-91 for Lefebvre, who took her record to 12-0
(1). Griffa, who´s only other blemish was a decision loss for
the IBF world title last August, drops to 18-2 (1).
Also on the card, another local favourite didn't have as much
success, as Mehdi Mouhib lost his WBF Intercontinental
Welterweight title, and undefeated record, to Belgian Steve
Jamoye in what turned out to be an excellent fight.
Jamoye (27), a pro since 2010, used all his experience to out-husstle
Mouhib (29) in a toe-to-toe battle from first to last bell, and
was deservedly awarded a unanimous decision after ten high-paced
rounds with scores of 95-94 (Grzegorz Molenda), 96-93
(Christophe Hembert) and 97-92 (Jean-Marie Natus).
On a show promoted by Douai Boxing Club, the new WBF
Intercontinental Champion improved his record to 26-7-2 (5),
while Mouhib falls to 17-1 (11) but did his very best and can
surely come back stronger and learn from the defeat.
