Ana María Torres Ramírez (born 25 January 1980), also known as La Guerrera, is a Mexican former professional boxer who held the WBC female super-flyweight title twice between 2007 and 2012.
Torres was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2024.
Professional career
A professional boxer since 1999, Torres made her first attempt to claim a World title when she unsuccessfully challenged Kwang Ok Kim for the WBC female bantamweight belt in Kumgang, North Korea, on 7 June 2006, losing by split decision.
On 7 October 2006, Torres beat Mayela Perez to claim the interim WBC female super-flyweight title winning by sixth-round stoppage in Xalapa, Mexico.
Upgraded to full champion status, she defended her title on 16 April 2007 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with a unanimous decision victory over Dahianna Santana.
In her next contest, Torres lost her title by split decision to Myung Ok Ryu in Kaesong, North Korea, on 19 October 2007. A rematch took place on 26 April 2008, in Queretaro, Mexico, with the fight ending in a majority draw after one ringside judge scored it 97-93 for Torres and the other two gave it a 95-95 tie.
On 30 August 2008, Torres won the interim WBC female super-flyweight World title defeating Esmeralda Moreno by unanimous decision in Monterrey, Mexico.
Once again elevated to full champion status, Torres stopped Columbia's Paulina Cardona in round four of her first defense in Oaxaca, Mexico, on 28 February 2009. She defended her title a further 10 times during the next three years, doing so for the last time on 31 March 2012, when her challenger, Maria Andrea Miranda, was halted in the fourth round of their bout in Los Cabos, Mexico. Torres retired from professional boxing later in 2012.
