Caroline Dubois Shines in American Debut
On December 19, 2025, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, Caroline Dubois, a rising star in the lightweight boxing scene, made a statement in her American debut by dominating Camila Panatta in a highly anticipated bout. The skillful 24-year-old southpaw showcased her prowess with a swift and powerful jab, combining it with her impeccable timing and versatility to ensure her victory against Panatta, who entered the ring with a record of 8 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw (1 knockout).
Fight Overview
Dubois utilized her superior technique and defensive skills to bewilder Panatta from the very beginning. The fight began with Dubois cleverly enticing her opponent into a deceptive rhythm, but she quickly established control, determining the pace and demonstrating her skill set throughout all ten rounds. Her ability to avoid punches while landing her own effectively was on full display, as she continuously outmaneuvered Panatta, leaving her struggling with shot selection and power.
As the fight progressed, Panatta attempted to regroup, doubling up on her jab in the third round in a bid to gain momentum. However, Dubois was unshakeable, responding with a barrage of counters that kept her challenger on the defensive. By the fourth round, Dubois began to sense a knockout opportunity, utilizing her strength and precision in a way that hinted at her potential to dominate the division.
Decisive Moments
The decisive moment arrived in the seventh round when Dubois landed a stunning counter right hand, sending Panatta to the canvas. Although she rose before the count of ten, it highlighted the significant gap in skill between the two fighters. Dubois was relentless in her pursuit of the knockout, consistently landing nearly twice as many punches as her opponent, with 115 successful strikes out of 311 attempts (a 36% accuracy rate) compared to Panatta’s 60 out of 315 (19%).
Post-Fight Reflections
Post-fight, Dubois expressed that she believed she could perform even better, giving herself a grade of “B”. This self-assessment could spell trouble for other contenders in the division, and she hinted at a possible future matchup against fellow fighter Alycia Baumgardner, describing the transatlantic clash as a fight that is “down the line”.
With Katie Taylor’s career beginning to wind down, the prospect of a new champion emerging is growing, and Dubois appears poised to make her mark among the sport’s elite in the near future.
