Uruguay's Moneo captures interim lightweight title

Maira Moneo W10 Lizbeth Crespo... Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires was the scene of a WBC interim lightweight title fight between Uruguay's Maira Moneo and Bolivia's Lizbeth Crespo. Katie Taylor remains the world lightweight champion, but she recently won the world junior welterweight championship as well and may remain in the higher weight class. Moneo got the road win over Crespo, a Bolivian who has nationalized to Argentina. The 31-year old Moneo won via three scores of 99-91 and is now 14-1. Crespo's record drops to 15-7.
