Anabel Ortiz and Sandra Robles both weighed in at 103.2 lbs. for their strawweight title fight Saturday evening in Mexico City.
Lengthy win streaks are on the line for each fighter. Ortiz (17-3, 3KOs) has won seven straight since returning to the strawweight division after coming up short on the road versus Yessica Bopp in their May '12 junior flyweight title fight in Argentina.
Among her current run is a second title reign, which began with a 10-round split decision over Etsuko Tada in their July '13 clash on the road in Japan. Saturday night marks Ortiz' fifth title defense of her second championship tour.
Robles (11-1, 5KOs) has won nine straight as she enters her first career title opportunity. The 21-year old fights for the fourth time in 2015 alone, her most recent adventure resulting in a 4th round knockout of Deborah Rengifo on the road in Venezuela in June.
On the undercard, Daniel Rosas continues the rebuilding process as he faces Jhon Gemino in a scheduled 10-round super bantamweight clash.
Both fighters were well within limit. Rosas (18-2-1, 11KOs) weighed 121.7 lbs. for his second straight fight outside of bantamweight following back-to-back losses to Rodrigo Guerrero and Alejandro 'Payasito' Hernandez in 2014.
Gemino (12-4-1, 5KOs) weighed 121.4 lbs. for his second consecutive fight in Mexico after having previously fought exclusively in Philippines.
The show will air live on TV Azteca in Mexico and via slight tape-delay on beIn Sports Español in the United States.
