Zamorano books soft atomweight title defense

On February 21st, WBC atomweight champion Camila “Magnífica” Zamorano (13-0, 1 KO) defends her 102-pound title against Claudia Verónica Ruiz (7-2-1) in Sonora, Mexico. Still a teenager, Zamorano is being pushed aggressively by the WBC. She became the youngest interim champion in boxing history at 17. When undisputed world champion Tina Rupprecht of Germany retired late last year, Zamorano was quickly elevated to WBC champion without a fight and was fed am opponent with ten losses. Ruiz, from Argentina, continues the pattern, as she is not a worthy challenger. Her last five fights consist of two losses, a draw, a split decision win and a four-round win over an opponent with a .500 record
