Belinda trains at the New River boxing gym, and is managed by Julio Martinez.  She is considered one of the most promising up and coming boxers of today.  

She began her boxing career by taking on Karen Nye, a Philadelphia fighter.    She defeated Nye in her pro debut.  

She also fought long time veteran boxer Cora Webber who proved to be a little too much for her early career.   Since then she has been non-stop with not only fighting anyone, but establishing a solid record and recognition.

Highlights of Laracuente's career:

May 12, 2000 Belinda lost to Karla Redo by a UD
six-round decision in the welterweight division.  

March 3, 2000 - Laracuente fought Christy Martin and lost to a majority decision.  A poll has been conducted on WBAN and so far, 99.7 of all fans felt that Laracuente won the fight easily.  When the poll has been completed, all comments will be sent to the Nevada Boxing Commission.    
 
 August 14, 1999 - Laracuente fought Zulfia Koutdoussova, and lost to a split decision, but it was a controversial loss and the bout was an action-packed 10-rounder lightweight title bout.   The fight took place in Miami, Florida and was called the Black-Tie Event.  Sandy Goldberg covered the fight exclusively for WBAN, check out the photo gallery.

May 28, 1999 Laracuente (137 lbs)  fought Mitzi Jeter (140) in Puerto Rico and won by a unanimous decision in an eight-rounder.

March 26, 1999, Laracuente defeated Glenda Watkins in Hialeah, Florida in a lightweight six-round bout. She won by a unanimous decision. 

February 26, 1999, she defeated Shakurah Witherspoon with a eight-round unanimous decision in a lightweight match. 

February 5, 1999, Laracuente shocked boxing fans when she defeated champion Daniella Somers in Miami, Florida in a lightweight (137lb range) eight-round unanimous decision.  Somers took a lot of hard punches in this fight and looked bewildered at times fighting the very young and skillful Laracuente. 

December 3, 1998, Laracuente lost to Denise Moraetes in Bay St. Louis, MS in a Unanimous four-round decision.   One observer sent this into WBAN about that fight, "I read someone's comment about Laracuente's loss to Moraetes. The only reason why Laracuente lost that fight is because she got arrested the night before for gambling in the casino (she's only 20, not old enough to gamble), and as a result, she spent the night in jail, and she did not get the proper rest, nutrition, or mental pre-fight preparation before that fight, which is why she lost, and understandably so. If she hadn't have gotten locked up, she would've whooped Moraetes."  

October 17, 1998 Laracuente fought the infamous phoney baloney Tawayna Broxton, the fighter that was managed by Mr. Kemp. WBAN does not consider ANY fights with this person a bout, and many fighters (top fighters) have been matched up with Broxton. Laracuente had a unanimous decision with Broxton in a six-round bout. 

October 10, 1999, Laracuente had a draw with Jeanne Martinez in a four-rounder. The fight took place in New Orleans in lightweight division. 

September 12, 1999, Laracuente fought and defeated Gail Grandchamp, with a first round TKO in a lightweight match. Grandchamp is a fighter that helped women's boxing when she pursued a lawsuit that lasted seven years to earn the right to fight in amateurs. Gailchamp sued in  North Adams, Massachusetts: A state Superior Court judge ruled that a woman boxer, Gail Grandchamp was illegally barred from the ring, because of her sex. The ruling came nearly eight years after Gail Grandchamp first sought an amateur license. The decision coming much later in years, could not help Grandchamp personally, because she was then 36 years old, pass the maximum age limit for amateur fighters. Grandchamp, a great advocate for women’s boxing said that she hoped the decision would not be able to see women’s boxing evolve.

April 3, 1998 Laracuente defeated Sharon Tiller in a lightweight bout that resulted in a TKO in the first round. The fight occurred in Bayomon, Puerto Rico. 

February 13, 1998, she fought in the (132-134) weight class and defeated Shannise Davis with a TKO in the first round.  

October 24, 1997 in Miami, Florida Laracuente again fought NO FIGHTER/Tawayna Broxton in a featherweight bout.  The result was a unanimous decision.
