Ana María Torres Ramírez (born 25 January 1980), also known as La Guerrera, is a Mexican former professional boxer who held the WBC female super-flyweight title twice between 2007 and 2012. She was elected into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2024.
Professional career[edit]
A professional boxer since 1999, Torres made her first attempt to claim a World title when she unsuccessfully challenged Kwang Ok Kim for the WBC female bantamweight belt in Kumgang, North Korea, on 7 June 2006, losing by split decision.[3] [4]
On 7 October 2006, Torres beat Mayela Perez to claim the interim WBC female super-flyweight title winning by sixth-round stoppage in Xalapa, Mexico.[5] [3]
Upgraded to full champion status, she defended her title on 16 April 2007 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with a unanimous decision victory over Dahianna Santana.[6] [3]
In her next contest, Torres lost her title by split decision to Myung Ok Ryu in Kaesong, North Korea, on 19 October 2007.[7] [3] A rematch took place on 26 April 2008, in Queretaro, Mexico, with the fight ending in a majority draw after one ringside judge scored it 97-93 for Torres and the other two gave it a 95-95 tie.[8] [3]
On 30 August 2008, Torres won the interim WBC female super-flyweight World title defeating Esmeralda Moreno by unanimous decision in Monterrey, Mexico.[9] [3]
Once again elevated to full champion status, [10] [3] Torres stopped Columbia's Paulina Cardona in round four of her first defense in Oaxaca, Mexico, on 28 February 2009.[11] [3] She defended her title a further 10 times during the next three years, doing so for the last time on 31 March 2012, when her challenger, Maria Andrea Miranda, retired in the fourth-round of their bout in Los Cabos, Mexico.[12] [13]
Torres retired from professional boxing later in 2012 and was elected into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2024.[3] [14]
