Sarah Curran is Ready to go Savage in her Rematch with Bertha Aracil on Saturday for the ABF USA Super Welterweight Championship

At the Rising Star Casino, in Rising Sun, IN, Nate Tubbs Events & Promotions brings the second go around of young hard-hitting Super Welterweights “Savage” Sarah Curran (3-1) of McHenry, IL and Bertha “The Cuban Princess” Aracil (4-0, 3 KOs) of Yonkers, NY.

In July of 2016, these two went 4 emphatic rounds of action on the other side of the state of Indiana on Hitz Boxing show at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond. Aracil outpointed the young and feisty pro-debuter.

Former Heavyweight boxer-turned-promoter, Nate Tubbs, started this card with Aracil in search for a championship opponent. The bout was promoted as for the vacant American Boxing Federation (ABF) USA Super Welterweight Championship.

Knowing Curran wanted to hopefully avenge her debut loss, I was immediately suggesting Curran (Maiden Name – French, at time of debut). The wheels started turning immediately and contacts from made followed by contracts signed.

The ABF is a fairly new nationally sanctioned organization and has been making championships in rapid succession.

Curran has been amped at the opportunity and is acknowledgable training like a true professional, having run the tables in her last 3 matches and against quality opposition.

I caught up with “Savage” this week to talk about Curran/Aracil I to Saturday’s Rematch.

“Losing to someone at that high level, has changed me as a fighter and humbled me for how I approach my camps.”

“Since then I am on a 3 fight wins streak and I have changed my mindset, my eating patterns, the way I think, and train in a more beneficial manner.”

“For this camp, I did not have time for mistakes. I have trained like a champion!”

“I do not feel pressured for this fight. I am not stressed. I am excited to go, have fun, and be me!”

“I am not going to lie… With (Edith) Ogoke (fight on June 8, 2018), she was a big bitch! When I felt her punching power, I was pressured. I did not fight her good. But, Ogoke was more hungry in there than anyone I have faced. Ogoke came into that fight in the best shape she ever could have. She is a force to be reckoned with. Regardless, I got the W and here we are today!”

“I want to win that title! I have my second chance (at Aracil and revenge on the L), the title is a plus of all pluses. What fighter does not want a belt? That is the end goal.”

“This fight could not be any more perfect. Not only is it a rematch, so that I can get that second chance at getting my win back, but it is also for a belt. We are both at 4 fights each, so it is perfect on paper and story-wise.”

Official Weights for Saturday:
Aracil – 151.8 lbs
Curran – 153.2 lbs
