The experienced Mexican boxer Jackie Nava said goodbye to professional boxing this Saturday after defeating Argentina’s Gloria Yancaqueo by unanimous decision, with a great presentation in which she showed her entire repertoire.
In the fight for the super bantamweight division that took place in Tijuana, Nava added his victory number 16 after the judges decreed it as winner 98-92, 97-93 Y 97-93.
Although Argentina came out to demolish in the early stages of the fight, Nava was able to respond in the third and fourth rounds, which showed that the first half of the fight was without a clear favorite.
By the seventh Gloria improved, but anyway the Mexican maintained the effectiveness of her left hand.
With the public singing “Cielito Lindo” Nava came out in the antepenultimate round of her career; she looked fresh despite the heat of the battle, but Yancaqueo resisted and closed with a good hook.
Pushed by the one who is considered by many to be the best Mexican boxer in history, Julio César Chávez , who stood up to applaud her, Jackie Nava ended her professional career in the same way she lived it, with an elegant technique, feints, feline movements that disconcerted the rival.
The final two minutes confirmed that, if he wanted, Jackie Nava could continue in boxing, despite his 42 years. She imposed her fighting train and certified once again that she is one of the legendary
Nava finished her career with 16 victories, 16 by knockout, with four losses and four draws while Yancaqueo suffered his twelfth setback, with 10 wins and five draws.
