Salinas Returns With Big Win
‘BOLIVIAN QUEEN’ LIGHTS UP PATRIOT’S CENTER
Sensational featherweight prospect Jennifer “THE BOLIVIAN QUEEN”
Salinas returned to action in a big way this past Saturday
night, taking home a third round knockout of Christina
Leadbetter at the Patriot’s Center in Fairfax, Virginia.
Following a two and half year absence after the birth of her now
thirteen month old son, John-Pablo, the 26 year old improved her
record to 10-1 with four knockouts.
Using crushing combinations and excellent defense, Salinas
controlled the majority of the action throughout the first two
rounds. Raising the stakes in the third stanza, Salinas stalked
her previously aggressive foe and dropped her with a crushing
right hand ending the fight at the 2:05 mark.
‘It felt great after the layoff to get back in the ring and
utilize so many new things that my trainer, Daniel Attah and I
have been working on in the gym. I’m glad I was patient, didn’t
rush things and took my time until the knockout came” said
Salinas. “She was very aggressive in the first two rounds which
allowed me to work on my defense and counter punching.”
Salinas plans a quick return to the ring; “I’m in terrific shape
and I’d like to be back in the ring quickly. This was a great
start, but there’s still much work to be done. I’ll take a
couple of days off and then it’s back in the gym with Daniel.”
Salinas also mentioned her co-trainer Lawrence Jones and
sponsors LA BOXING and Max Muscle, all of whom helped prepare
her for the fight.
