Evelin Bermudez Outpoints Tania Enriquez, Regains IBF, WBO Junior Flyweight Titles
Evelin Bermudez has restored her unified title reign. The 26-year-old Argentinean regained her IBF and WBO junior flyweight titles with a ten-round, unanimous decision victory over Tijuana’s Tania Enriquez. Scores were 96-94, 97-93 and 97-93 for Bermudez in their TyC Sports-aired main event from Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The fight came less than four months after Bermudez saw her four-year title stay come to a close after a disappointing ten-round decision defeat to Yokasta Valle last November 26 in Carson, California.

Competing with a weekend of playoff football isn’t in the best interest of promoters in North America, generally speaking.
