April 17, 2008 - Tachi Palace
Hotel & Casino, in Lemoore, California
Jessica Rakoczy and Cindy Serrano fought a good
clean and fast-paced eight rounds. Rakoczy won the fight by a
unanimous decision, with a 80-72 scores from all three judges. There
were no knockdowns, and neither appeared to be in trouble during the
match.
In what would have been a world title bout, Carina Moreno was
to have fought Dan-Bi Kim, for the vacant WIBA and WBC Strawweight
belt, but it was discovered that her actual age was 17 years old,
and the fight was cancelled. According to photographer Bob
Silverman who covered the event for WBAN, about eight people made
the trip with Kim from Korea for this fight with Moreno. WBAN
was also told by another source that the commission cancelled the
fight. According to our sources, the State Athletic Commission
official had confirmed that Kim's paperwork had the correct date of
birth, but that the state people did not check it for age until
Thursday.
