Caroline Dubois Too Sweet For Yanina del Carmen Lescano
‘Sweet’ Caroline Dubois delivered in a flawless 8 round victory over a high-level opponent in Yanina del Carmen Lescano to take the 7th professional victory of her career at the York Hall on Friday night. Dubois dominated every single round of the fight, scoring a knockdown in the 5th also and looking close to getting the stoppage at multiple points.
This was an invaluable learning experience for Dubois, who has struggled to find challenging opponents in the past due to her formidable power and reputation. Lescano was a huge step up compared to Dubois’s previous opponents, but a step up she rose to superbly.
Dubois switched her offence effortlessly between the head and the body across the fight, pouncing on any moment Lescano left a gap open to batter the experienced Argentinian.
Multiple times, Dubois landed barbaric hooks to Lescano’s body that curled her up and almost ended the fight, but Dubois never became reckless either, showing intelligence in her performance far beyond her years.
Caroline Dubois said to Sky Sports after the fight: “The stoppage didn’t come, but I said I was looking for a beat down and a solid victory, and I think that’s what I got. I felt good after eight rounds, but that’s for Shane (McGuigan) to say.”
Ben Shalom, BOXXER CEO and founder, said to Sky Sports after the fight: “She’s definitely ready for a world title, but Mikaela Mayer looks like a fight we can make this year, and then on to the Katie Taylor’s of the world.”
