TKO in 3rd for ex-day schooler
Argentina’s Duer defends her super flyweight title
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – In many ways, Carolina Raquel Duer is a typical middle-class Jewish kid from Buenos Aires. She attended a Jewish day school, spent time working and traveling in Israel, and celebrated becoming a bat mitzvah at a Conservative synagogue.
When she stepped into the ring Nov. 12 at Club Atletico Lanus, however, she showcased a set of talents not commonly associated with the Jewish women of Buenos Aires.
Duer, 33, is the World Boxing Organization’s super flyweight champion. Making the third defense of her title, Duer defeated Maria Jose Nunez by a technical knockout in the third round. Duer knocked down her Uruguyan opponent with a left cross, but Nunez scrambled to her feet before her cornerman — also her husband — threw in the towel to stop the fight.
