With only one day to go before the big Fiesta de Boxeo Live Championship boxing event to be held inside the state of the art multi-purpose bingo hall at The Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in Lemoore the final preparations are being made for Thursday nights exciting card.
In one of the featured bouts Watsonville’s own Carina Moreno, the reigning NABF Jr. Flyweight Champion will take on the dangerous and undefeated Valerie Rix of Sanford, Florida in a six round Non-Title bout.

Valerie Rix, at 19 years of age brings an unblemished record of {4-0-1} into this bout and possesses a balanced blend of speed, skill and youthful exuberance. Moreno, at 24 years of age carries a professional record of nine wins, one defeat and three victories coming by way of knockout. Moreno has made a name for herself very quickly as a professional known for her exquisite technique, high punch output and for applying constant and unmerciful pressure on her opponents. In her last bout also in Lemoore at The Tachi Palace, Moreno won a clear cut unanimous eight round decision over veteran Stephanie Dobbs to capture the NABF crown. Moreno is in line for a shot at the WBC Light Flyweight Championship in a bout that could come as soon as December for the diminutive pugilist.

“I have had discussions with two major sanctioning bodies in regards to Carina competing for their World Championships in recent weeks. But we don’t want to put the cart before the horse as they say, Valerie Rix is a tough cookie therefore we’ll begin discussing Carina’s next fight after Thursday. In this game you cannot afford to overlook any opponent. But let me finish by saying that Carina Moreno is a special talent and the sky truly is the limit for this young lady.” Stated Christian Printup, Tachi Palace Director of Entertainment and Co-Promoter of Thursday’s Event.
