Age 45, Garcia becomes unified champion

Irma Garcia W10 Nataly Delgado... The 45 year-old Irma Garcia became a unified super flyweight champion by defeating Nataly Delgado via unanimous decision on Most Valuable Promotions' ESPN show. The win combined Delgado's WBA title with the IBF version Garcia already owned  All three judges scored the fight 97-92. Both women traded right hands and body shots through the early rounds, with Delgado (21-8-2) busy downstairs and Garcia answering with straight lefts. Garcia (27-5-1) hurt Delgado with a counter late in the fifth and dropped her with a left hand in the sixth, a knockdown Delgado protested as a trip. Delgado kept coming with right hands and body work, but Garcia’s left landed cleaner down the stretch and shook her again in the tenth. Garcia is a two-division champ, having previously held a bantamweight title.
