On January 29, 2011 at Polideportivo Municipal in Monte Hermoso, Buenos Aires, Yesica Bopp (106 lbs) won a ten-round unanimous (100-91,99-91,98-92) decision over Carina Moreno (106¾ lbs) of Watsonville, California, USA for the WBA and WBO Junior Flyweight titles.

 The bout, which featured excellent skills and in-and-out movement by both boxers, was more closely fought than was indicated by the scoring. Bopp was adept at blocking and countering Moreno’s attacks and also in picking when and where to throw her own punches in bunches.

Bopp’s well-timed overhand rights also raised a swelling under Moreno’s left eye after the fifth round. “Yesica Bopp is a great champion and she won the fight,” Moreno said in a post-fight press release.

“It’s very difficult to travel thousands of miles away from home and get the victory. When I get back, I’ll look at the fight and see where I can improve.”  Moreno fell to 21-3 (6 KO’s).
