 Women's Boxing: Belinda Laracuente Interview
Belinda: I have always been active in sports, and was a long-distance runner in Puerto Rico, where I won a national cross-country championship.
Belinda: Christy did manage to hit me with some pretty solid body shots, especially in the sixth round, but you may recall that she could barely touch me with anything for the first five rounds, and by the time she was able to connect solidly, her punches had little effect.
Belinda: To a young girl just starting out on a professional boxing career, I would suggest that she shop around, if possible, for a trainer who has patience to teach and coach, and one who has a positive and upbeat approach to training fighters.

 Women's Boxing: Belinda Laracuente vs. Christy Martin
Laracuente, who is now 17-4-1, said she was "totally sure" she won the fight, adding "I beat up the old lady".
Laracuente is a talented fighter and I think she would've won had she put a little bit more time into fighting than moving away from Martin.
Laracuente is also from Miami (like me), so I had a hometown comraderie for Laracuente when she got into the ring, but I have to be honest: I thought Martin did enough to win a close fight.

 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Belinda Laracuente Hungry For Title   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
What Laracuente called "the most exciting moment as a pro boxer" when the bell sounded to end the fight, turned into "the most disheartening" when the judges awarded Martin the controversial majority decision, as judges Carol Castellano and Patricia Jarman-Manning had it 77-75 for Martin, and judge Dave Moretti had it 76-76.
Though she had a handful of fights afterward, including another loss to a lesser-name opponent Karla Redo "where the real Belinda simply never showed up," according to then trainer David Marks, Laracuente was never quite the same in the ring.
For Laracuente, who lives in Miami, the fight will be a tune-up for an eventual showdown with WIBA champion Lucia Rijker and perhaps a rematch with Martin (43-2-2, 31 KOs), according to trainer Jessie Robinson of Warrior's Gym in Hollywood, where Laracuente trains.
