Wednesday, October 18 – Forum Des Halles, Paris
Estelle Mossely vs. Maira Moneo, 10 rounds, women’s lightweights
Time to step up her game for Mossely, a former Olympian with tons of talent who faltered in her last outing against Magali Rodriguez. In Uruguay’s Moneo she will be facing a human windmill who is also very vulnerable to all kinds of punches. Should be an awesome clash of styles.
