Moving up to 112 lb, Carina "La Reina" Moreno showed superior skills while dominating opponent Sharon Gaines last night in a one-sided thrashing at the Tachi Palace in Lemoore, CA.
In the early rounds, Moreno went right at Gaines, finding a home for the overhand right from the opening bell. As the fight went down the stretch, Moreno continued to land multiple punches at will.
"This was a good test to see how I feel at a higher weight," said Moreno. "I feel comfortable fighting anywhere from 105 lb to 112. I'm going to get together with my management and see what's next."
Moreno wins another unanimous decision by scores of 79-73 and 80-72 twice, extending her win streak to 13 bouts.
On the undercard, WBC Cabofe heavyweight champion Manuel "El Toro" Quezada scored a devastating knockout over Eric Boose to keep his 15 bout win streak alive.
"Early on, I was havin g trouble with Boose's jab, so I had to make adjustments after the second round", said Quezada.
"My corner told me to let my hands go and take the fight inside. When I hit him with that one two combo that rocked him in the third round, I knew the KO was coming soon."
Quezada ended the match 10 seconds into the fifth round with a right hand that landed flush on the chin of Boose, forcing the referee to stop the bout. "El Toro" improves to, 26-4 (16). There is talk of an ESPN date in late March.
