Price Survives a Bruising From Pineiro to Keep Her Three Welterweight Belts
Price overcame a 10-0 challenger in a bruising 10-round bout to keep her WBC, WBA and IBF welterweight belts.
- On Saturday, Lauren Price retained her WBC, WBA, and IBF welterweight world titles, defeating undefeated challenger Stephanie Pineiro by unanimous decision at the Utilita Arena Cardiff in Wales.
- The Welsh boxer sustained a significant lip injury from a head clash in the fifth round yet continued to dominate throughout the ten-round contest despite heavy bleeding from her mouth.
- Judges scored the bout 98-92, 98-92, and 99-91 in favor of the champion, while Pineiro dropped to 10-1 after failing to overcome Price's speed and precision striking.
- Following the victory, Price came face-to-face with undisputed heavyweight champion Claressa Shields, who proposed a potential middleweight showdown, stating, 'If you want to come up to 160 we can make it happen.'
- Moving to the 160-pound middleweight limit would require Price to change weight classes, though the champion has also received offers to fight Ireland's Katie Taylor in Dublin this summer.
