Mijares Remains Undefeated, Scores Wide-Margin Decision Over 'El Ardillita' Becerra ~

Talented 'Super-Featherweight' Vicente Mijares scored an impressive and wide-points 10-Round Decision
over 'gritty' Memin Becerra.

Mijares, a 21 1/2 year-old 'master-boxer' used a variety of left-jabs, '2-Punch' combinations and right-hand
leads to thwart off any charges from 'tough-nosed' Memin Becerra.

Both Mexican fighters came in with 'wins' on their mind, but Beccera was no match for Mijares, as the
'fast-handed' boxer peppered Becerra in nearly every Round with quick-combinations to the head, and
powerful right-hands to the body.

Scorecards
* 7-2
* 7-1
* 7-1

"This was a solid win for Vicente. We are now in the Top 10 of the NABF. We will now go up to Lightweight,
and take on somebody in the next level."
