Irma Garcia
Irma “Torbellino” Garcia walked out of the MVPW 7: Turhan vs. Baumgardner card on November 8, 2026, with two belts around her waist.
The Mexico City veteran (27-5-1, 6 KOs) outpointed Panama’s Nataly Delgado (21-8-2, 5 KOs) over 10 rounds to unify the IBF and WBA super flyweight titles, taking home identical 97-92 scorecards from all three judges.
Trading Heavy Leather Early
Delgado didn’t waste any time trying to make it a dogfight. Fighting out of Santiago de Veraguas, the Panamanian champion marched forward from the opening bell, digging into the body and slinging heavy right hands. Garcia refused to get dragged into a brawl, though. She gave ground only when she needed to and kept snapping Delgado’s head back with sharp, straight lefts off the counter to keep her at the end of her range.
The Sixth-Round Knockdown
Everything changed in the fifth when a clean counter stung Delgado and finally forced her to respect what was coming back. Smelling blood, Garcia started calling the shots. A round later, she uncorked a massive left hand that put Delgado flat on the canvas. Delgado immediately complained to the referee that it wasn’t a clean knockdown, but the count stood—and on a 10-round scorecard, that two-point swing was a mountain to climb.
Closing the Show
To her credit, Delgado never stopped coming. She kept marching through fire in the second half, hunting the body and looking for a big right hand to turn the night around. Garcia simply had an answer for everything, picking her off with the cleaner, heavier shots down the stretch. Just to take the judges out of the equation, Garcia buzzed Delgado all over again in the tenth and final round—an exclamation point that earned her Most Valuable Promotions’ Performance of the Night bonus.
Where Both Fighters Stand
For Garcia, this unification is the payoff for a four-year rebuild. Since dropping a tough majority decision to Micaela Lujan back in August 2022, she has put together six straight wins, including a third-round stoppage of Emma Dolan in April 2026, a June 2025 knockout over Maria Guadalupe Martinez, and victories over Gloria Gallardo, Stephanie Silva,and Paola Rincon.
Delgado sees a nine-fight winning streak snapped—a run that stretched back to March 2023 and featured 2026 decision wins over Jasmine Artiga and Yoselin Fernandez. Her stock doesn’t drop much in defeat after going 10 hard rounds at that pace, even if 115 pounds now clearly belongs to Irma Garcia.
