Fulioka Snatches up WBC International Title from Juarez

Following her championship loss to Susi Kentikian in November (her sole blemish on her record), Fujioka pressed non-stop to get inside and deliver shot inside of the taller Juarez. The inside game seemed to pay off as the judges scored the match a split decision in favor of the challenger. Scores: 97-93, 98-93, 94-96.
