The three judges at ringside scored the fight
96-93, 98-92 and 99-94. With the victory Comunales,
who was making her first defense of the title she
won in January, improved her professional record
to 8-1 (5), while Alegre dropped to 7-5 (7).
An aggressive Comunales was mostly in charge
during the ten-round bout, and it was clear that
she was looking for a victory inside the distance.
But the game and hard-punching Alegre never
stopped trying, had her moments, and was always
dangerous.
“It was a tough fight, and Alegre is a tough
fighter. I wanted to deliver a knockout victory
for my fans, but that will have to be another
time”, said a happy Comunales shortly after the
decision was announced
and Paysandu Mayor Bertil Bentos had placed the
UBO belt around her waist.
It is not clear when “La Reina” will fight again,
but she is rapidly becoming a huge star in Uruguay
and people love to follow the beautiful
22-year-olds career. As is often the case when
Comunales fights, the Rio Uruguay Amphitheatre was
packed, and the atmosphere electric. |
