Madison Square Garden, New York, USA. The absolute champion in super middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) was determined by the owners of all titles of the American division
Frenchon Crews Desert (8-1, 2 KOs) and
Elin Cederroos (8-1, 4 KOs) from Sweden.
Before the fight, the American had WBC and WBO belts, and her opponent had WBA and IBF belts. Funny detail: the fight was supposed to take place last year at streaming Triller. It’s happened somewhere before, right?
Creuves Dezern confidently wrote down the start of the fight in her piggy bank. She burst into the middle distance, brought several overhands to the target. Huge Cederroos still could not find the distance to the opponent. Her best shots failed – the jab and the right straight. Perhaps, age (37 years) and idle time (since January 2020) affected.

In the 2nd two-minute period Cederroos got even more. But the American also took risks, as she threw a lot of punches, invested in each of them – she had failed the second half of the fights more than once. The troubles of the guests did not end there – a broken nose.

The 4th two-minute period was especially successful for the ladies. Cederroos tested the strength of Creuves Desert’s beard. She responded no less sharply. Cool fight, but a little creepy – I’m not sure I’ve seen so much blood in a women’s boxing match before.
Commentators said that Creuves Desert turned to the services of a top nutritionist. A great solution, because even after the equator she looked good. For the first time, Cederroos worked as the first number only in the 8th round. It is possible that only this two-minute period will be given to her by the judges.
In the final rounds, the number of clinches increased, the fight leveled off a bit. Judges score: 99-91, 99-91 and 97-93. Everything is fair!
Creuves Desert UD 10.
