Miranda Stops Salazar in Three Rounds to Capture WBA Gold International Title – World Boxing Association

Jennifer Miranda delivered a commanding performance under the lights of Madrid’s iconic Teatro Las Vegas, overpowering Venezuela’s Militza Salazar and leaving no room for doubt. The Spanish contender scored a third-round knockout to capture the WBA Gold International female super featherweight title.

Miranda took control from the opening bell. Using her long jab to establish range and command the center of the ring, the Spanish fighter quickly disrupted Salazar’s defense, cutting off the Venezuelan’s escape routes and preventing her from finding a rhythm or putting together combinations at close range. By the second round, Miranda’s hooks to the body and straight right hands were visibly taking a toll on her opponent.

The finish came quickly in the third. After trapping Salazar against the ropes behind a relentless attack, Miranda unleashed a combination to the head and body that finally broke through the Venezuelan’s guard. A left hook to the liver was the final blow, folding Salazar and prompting the referee to halt the contest and award Miranda the victory by knockout.
