It
was a fight between two ambitious, hungry
and skilled boxers when the vacant Universal
Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Female World
Super Bantamweight title found a new owner
on Saturday night, May 6, in Sao Paolo,
Brazil.

After ten
taxing and high-paced rounds at the Coliseu Boxe
Center, undefeated local star Lila Dos Santos
Furtado, now 9-0 (1), was declared the new
champion by unanimous decision over
co-challenger Bestalia Sanchez from Venezuela.
“La
Doctora” Sanchez, a well-schooled southpaw with
a fine 12-1 (7) record going in, boxed well when
able to keep the right distance, but Furtado was
effective as the aggressor and rarely gave the
visitor the space she needed to control things
from the outside.
Clearly
well-prepared to fight a lefty, Furtado landed
straight right hands and hooks at close range,
while Sanchez countered and also had her moments
going forward. All in all it was competitive and
entertaining from start to finish.

After the
final bell both boxers looked confident of
victory, but judges Everton Moreira Da Silva,
Leonildo De Souza and Jose Borges all scored it
for Furtado by 97-93, 98-92 and 99-91.
While not
necessarily out of line as there were many close
rounds, the last two scores doesn't do the effort
of Sanchez justice, and, like Furtado, she can be
very proud of her performance.
Televised
live by Vem TV, the fight headlined a show
promoted by Edinei Ferreira Santos and his
Pernilongo Promotions.
