12.06.08 – Heading into the final day before their highly anticipated showdown, “WBC Female Fighter of the Year” Carina “La Reina” Moreno (17-1, 5 KO) and Eileen Olszewski (5-0-1) make weight. Both fighters tipped the scales at 107 ¾ pounds and looked to be in great shape..
Moreno, who’s riding a 9 fight-winning streak, is ready to show the world that she is one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world as she stated, “Right now it’s time to shine and let the world know that I’m an elite fighter. I’ve worked real hard getting to this point and now everyone will get to see what I bring to the ring. My style is exciting and I think the fans watching on TV will appreciate it. I have great respect for Eileen and her trainer whom I’ve known since the amateurs, but come fight night it will be all business.”
Tension mounted at yesterday’s press conference when Olszewski’s manager had words with Moreno about something she said in a recent interview. Expect to see non-stop action from the opening bell.
