October - November 5th, Updates
Strawweight
Seniesa Estrada surprised boxing fans by announcing her retirement on October 23, saying (as per Sports Illustrated online), “We did everything we imagined I would do and more as a woman in a male dominated sport. It’s been one wild ride. Thank you for standing by me. I hope that my style of fighting is one that people will remember forever. Only God knows how long I’ve been contemplating this decision. Physically and mentally, I can’t continue anymore…” The strawweight championship is now vacant.
Flyweight
Gabriela Fundora spectacularly defeated Lineal Flyweight Champion, Gabriela Alaniz, on October 7, stopping in her in round seven in Las Vegas. 22-year-old Fundora is now the youngest ever women’s lineal champion. Alaniz and Esparza drop to #1 and #2 respectively.
