Bormann retains her minimumweight title

Sarah Bormann W10 Chaima Bounouar... In Karlsruhe, Germany, local hero Sarah “Babyface” Bormann successfully defended her WBA 105-pound title, earning a split decision victory over Chaima Bounouar of Spain. The fight lived up to expectations as a closely contested matchup. The official scorecards reflected the judges’ differing views, with scores of 97-92 and 95-94 in favor of Bormann (22-1), while the third judge scored the bout 95-94 for Bounouar, who suffers her first pro defeat after seven wins. Bounouar came out with an aggressive approach, applying pressure and looking to target the German champion’s body with hooks. However, Bormann’s experience and precision proved decisive at key moments. The German used a consistent jab and effective lateral movement to neutralize her challenger’s advances and accumulate valuable points from mid and long range.
