Stefi Cohen Boxing
Stefi Cohen transitioned to boxing a few years ago and has been on a tear since. Her first fight against Haidde Zapa ended with her winning by TKO in the third round. In Cohen’s last fight in 2021, she fought Marcela Nieto on the undercard of a fight that featured Thor Bjornsson, where her fight ended in a draw.
In this latest fight, Cohen fought an experienced Valenzuela who had 31 previous fights but only had 3 wins. Even though Cohen has much less ring experience, she was still the favorite coming into the fight. Cohen won this fight in a dominant fashion, with all judges having her up two points or more on the scorecards.
