Puerto Lumbreras boxer Mari Carmen Romero reconfirmed the European Superbantamweight title in Milan on Friday
The Puerto Lumbreras boxer Mari Carmen Romero reconfirmed the European title in the superbantamweight in Milan on Friday. She is the first Spanish woman to retain the title of European champion three years in a row. But not all was smiles for ‘Mari Bicho’. I knew I was going to have a tough fight at the Italian María Cecchi’s house, and so it was.
Mari Carmen, who returns to Puerto Lumbreras tonight, told LA VERDAD on Saturday: “I knew it was going to be difficult, but luckily it wasn’t, although it was a very complicated fight for me. She committed irregularities that were not penalized by the referees. He got several headbutts, but luckily I won every round. It wasn’t a hard fight, but it was one of the most complicated in boxing.
Romero saw the fight jeopardized by his rival’s behaviour. “I thought I was going to get a cut any minute and the umpires wouldn’t let me continue because I was getting a lot of headers. In fact, Cecchi gave me an irregular that opened my eyebrow and they had to give me three stitches,” says the champion, adding that it was a shame. The referees were not professional because with an intentional header like the one the Italian gave me, they should have sent her away and stopped the fight they let her down and she could keep doing what she wanted i tried not to panic and fight my battle but it was impossible i was more worried about the headers he could give me than my boxing.
