Irma García dethrones Nataly Delgado to capture WBA Super Flyweight World Title – World Boxing Association

Arlington, Texas, witnessed a memorable night of women’s boxing. In a matchup where experience proved decisive, Mexico’s Irma “Torbellino” García added another golden chapter to her career, earning a unanimous decision victory over Panama’s Nataly Delgado to capture the WBA Super Flyweight World Championship and unify the title with her IBF crown.

The veteran Mexican fighter’s ring IQ, command of distance, and defensive sharpness were rewarded with identical scores from all three judges at ringside. Each official scored the bout 97-92 in García’s favor, confirming a clear victory after 10 rounds of action.

From the opening bell, Delgado came out looking to impose her aggressive fighting style, close the distance, force exchanges on the inside, and attack the body with hooks. However, “Torbellino” García put on a counterpunching clinic from her southpaw stance. She used her footwork to avoid becoming a stationary target, disrupted the Panamanian’s advances with a steady right jab, and landed precise combinations upstairs whenever Delgado tried to come straight in.

As the second half of the fight unfolded, the physical toll began to catch up with the now-former champion. Delgado repeatedly found herself dealing with García’s lateral movement and ability to anticipate her attacks. The Mexican veteran delivered her most decisive moment in the sixth round, when she dropped the Panamanian with a knockdown.

García managed her advantage with remarkable composure down the stretch, finishing the decisive rounds with greater accuracy and authority at mid-range.

With this outstanding performance on American soil, Irma García claims the 115-pound crown, adds the prestigious WBA black and gold belt to her already impressive résumé, and further establishes herself as one of the leading figures in international women’s boxing.
