Womens light welterweight world champion Myriam Lamare retained her WBF crown for the first time on Saturday, Nov. 6, in Aix en Provence, France, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt why she is recognized as one of the top female fighters on the planet.

Tall German-Italian challenger Lucia Morelli, who came with a respectable credentials and a 14-1 record, was dominated by the stocky Lamare from the start, although she never gave up despite not winning any round.

Sneaky right hands from Morelli kept reminding Lamare that she had to work for victory, but the French star ultimately overpowered Morelli in the sixth round to force the stoppage of English referee Paul Thomas after 1:00 min. of the round. Morelli protested bitterly and shed tears in the ring, but had shipped too many clean headshots and was fighting on guts alone in the final seconds.

WBF champion Lamare had legendary Lucia Rijker, the Dutch ex-fighter who was never beaten in the ring and later became a successful actor, in her corner and Rijker had trained Lamare for this title defence in the south of France. The fight was televised live all over Europe by Eurosport and promoted by Lamare’s own promotional company Absolute Boxe. The 35-year-old champion is now 18-3 (10).
