  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body to acknowledge
outstanding  athletes  who  distinguished   themselves   through   their
exceptional performance, attaining unprecedented success and the highest
level  of personal achievement; Laura Serrano Garcia is one such athlete
and her life of athletic achievements inspired others and contributed to
the respect and admiration of the sport of boxing; and
 
  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor
Laura  Serrano  Garcia  upon  the  occasion  of  being inducted into the
International Boxing Hall of Fame at Hall of Fame Weekend on June 10-11,
2023 in Canastota, New York; and
 
  WHEREAS, Born on October 20, 1967  in  Mexico  City,  Laura  Serrano
Garcia is a Mexican boxer; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Laura  Serrano  Garcia  began  boxing  at  the Universidad
Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City, where she  was  studying  to
become  a  lawyer;  she  applied  for  a professional boxer's license in
Mexico and later went to Las Vegas to challenge Christy Martin  for  the
world title in her first professional match; and
 
  WHEREAS,  In  her  next  fight,  Laura Serrano Garcia defeated world
champion Deirdre Gogarty by a knockout in the seventh round, in what was
the first all-women's boxing undercard  held  at  the  Aladdin  Hotel  &
Casino in Las Vegas; and
 
  WHEREAS,   After  coming  back  from  a  foot  injury  and  Mexico's
forbiddance of women from boxing events, Laura Serrano  Garcia  defeated
Tracy  Byrd  to  become  Mexico's  first  woman World Boxing Champion on
September 2, 1999; and
 
  WHEREAS, Having held many prestigious titles, Laura  Serrano  Garcia
defended  her  World  title against Cinthya Prouder, Alicia Ashley, Gina

August  12,  2008,  she  challenged  Melissa  Del  Valle  for the Junior
Lightweight title and the attempt resulted in a tie; and
 
  WHEREAS, Laura Serrano Garcia clearly made  a  contribution  to  the
spirit  of  excellence  which is a tradition of the International Boxing
Hall of Fame; and
 
  WHEREAS, It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  that  when
individuals  of such outstanding athletic accomplishments are brought to
our attention, they should be recognized by all  the  citizens  of  this
great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
honor Laura Serrano Garcia upon the occasion of being inducted into  the
