Undefeated World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens World
Super Bantamweight Champion
Segolene Lefebvre retained her
title for the fourth time on
Friday night, April 12,
outboxing Argentinian Laura
Soledad Griffa at the Salle
Gayant in her home-town of
Douai, France.
It was a typical masterclass
performance from 25-year-old
Lefebvre, who appeared to have
the upper hand in every
department and at times easily
picked off the game Soledad
Griffa (33) to win a wide
unanimous decision.
Judges Grzegorz Molenda, Jerome
Lades and Jean-Marie Natus all
scored the fight 99-91 for
Lefebvre, who took her record to
12-0 (1). Griffa, who´s only
other blemish was a decision
loss for the IBF world title
last August, drops to 18-2 (1).
Also on the card, another local
favourite didn't have as much
success, as Mehdi Mouhib lost
his WBF Intercontinental
Welterweight title, and
undefeated record, to Belgian
Steve Jamoye in what turned out
to be an excellent fight.
Jamoye (27), a pro since 2010,
used all his experience to
out-husstle Mouhib (29) in a
toe-to-toe battle from first to
last bell, and was deservedly
awarded a unanimous decision
after ten high-paced rounds with
scores of 95-94 (Grzegorz
Molenda), 96-93 (Christophe
Hembert) and 97-92 (Jean-Marie
Natus).
On a show promoted by Douai
Boxing Club, the new WBF
Intercontinental Champion
improved his record to 26-7-2
(5), while Mouhib falls to 17-1
(11) but did his very best and
can surely come back stronger
and learn from the defeat.
