Undefeated Oshin Derieuw put on
a master-class on Saturday night
at the Salle Marcel Dufour in
Louvroil, France, beating
compatriot Marion Montanari to
win the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Womens
International Light Welterweight
title.
Headlining a show promoted by
the Boxing Club de Louvroil,
30-year-old Derieuw was always
one step ahead of the brave and
gutsy Montanari (32), and put on
a near flawless performance on
her way to winning her first
professional title in dominant
fashion.
Derieuw boxed well from a
distance, and was the stronger
fighter when the action moved to
the inside. She fired off
well-placed combinations to body
and head, and hurt Montanari on
several occasions with her
uppercut. It was quite the
domination at times, but
Montanari took everything that
came her way.
After ten one-sided rounds,
judge Arno Pokrandt from Germany
scored the fight a landslide
100-90, while French judges
Smail Alitouche and Christophe
Hembert had it slightly closer
at 99-91 and 98-92. Referee in
charge was Bertrand Chagnoux,
also from France.
The new WBF International
Champion improved her record to
6-0 (3), and put herself in line
to possibly challenging WBF
World Champion Myriam Dellal in
another intriguing all-French
match-up. Montanari drops to 2-3
(0), a deceiving statistic as
she has boxed unbeaten opponents
in four of her five outings.
