Seniesa Estrada W10 Yokasta Valle... After ten rounds of sustained action, an undisputed world minimumweight champion was crowned. Seniesa “Super Bad” Estrada (26-0, 9 KOs) Yokasta Valle (30-3, 9 KOs) via unanimous decision to unify all the belts in the 105-pound division, a first in boxing history. All judges scored the fight 97-93. In the opening round, Estrada’s unorthodox style perplexed an aggressive Valle. A clash of heads in the first round caused a cut above Valle’s right eye, and Estrada had success by switching stances and punching from the outside.

 

An undeterred Valle stepped up the pace in round four, landing a right hook that appeared to stun Estrada. Valle continued landing in the fifth, and it was evident that she was stronger on the inside.

 

Estrada made adjustments and began fighting again from the outside, landing with precision and even taunting Valle at times. The Costa Rican rallied late in the final round, but it was not enough.

 

Estrada said, "I feel better. I’m happy. It’s something I’ve been wanting for a long time, becoming undisputed. It finally happened, and I accomplished my dreams. I’m beyond overwhelmed and happy. I knew she would come in and be aggressive like she always is. That’s her style, and I knew I would take everything away from her that she does best. I’m very competitive, and I want to be the best. In this training camp, there were days where it was difficult for me to go to the gym. My body was hurting. My back was hurting. My hand was hurting. But I pushed through because that’s what champions do and because I want to be great."

 

Valle said, “I did feel [the headbutt that opened the cut] was intentional. I felt that she did that coming towards me in the first round, and I had to struggle through that for the last nine rounds.”
