A day before the fight, during the weigh ins, the Brazilian girl told those around her after looking at the Southern California girl that it was going to be an easy fight. It was, but for Riverside’s West (12-1-2, 3 KOs).
Behind a quick and accurate jab the Brazilian girl never could get off. Guimares tried her best to pressure West but quickly realized that the Californian was too strong and too fast so she switched into back pedaling mode.
For the first two rounds West fired a stiff jab that snapped Guimares head back a few times. When she dared enter the pocket a left hook stopped her from going further. It seemed every punch the Brazilian fired was blocked.
The third round saw West open up a bit more with one-two combinations. A right hand bomb to the body nearly doubled Guimares over and she quickly moved away with West stalking her.
Guimares (8-3, 7 KOs) sucked it up in the fourth round and began firing combinations of her own. She was willing to mix it up as West covered up and slapped punches back. The Brazilian was having her best round when West opened up with big punches and forced Guimares to retreat for the remainder of the round. It could have been worse for the Brazilian.
During the break Juan West, the father and trainer of Kaliesha, exhorted his daughter to fire uppercuts. When the fifth round began there was West firing left hooks and uppercuts that forced Guimares to seek more distance. West moved in and dug in with serious body blows that had the Brazilian girl on defense. A left hook to the body and left uppercut snapped Guimares head back and the referee stepped in and stopped the fight. It was West’s third career knockout.
