AMAZON — Silvia Mertel of the Xoco tribe on Saturday proved that a woman can be strong and keep her laundry wrinkle-free. The Xoco warrior brought home the champion’s trophy in a battle among the Amazon’s top fighters.
The contestants used a variety of weapons to vie for the top prize, including whips, knives and batons. Mertel, however, used a clothing iron to sail to victory.
“Darn, I need a beer!” the battling laundress declared when she was announced as the champion of the event.

The event was organized by Sunisa Minoptra, a Xoco, alleged police officer, and proprietress of Suni’s Bar. Minoptra not only laid out clear and organized rules for the contestants to follow, she conducted dozens of orderly matches. She also competed herself in the event using a police baton.
Saturday’s victory was not the first for Mertel. She also won the annual Dia De Los Muertos Fight Club in November. More recently, she was judged to have the most attractive backside in the Amazon.

| Trenton and Heartsong gave an encore competition. |
Leslie Trenton was among the fighters who entered the ring Saturday. A skilled aviator, Trenton has navigated many bushes in his time as a pilot. His adventures flying vital supplies to the hungry in Africa, where war lords sought to control supply chains, left him scars across his body.

In Saturday’s Fight Club, Trenton fought primarily using techniques in various types of martial arts. He kicked and punched, while deftly avoiding his opponents’ blows.
Trenton lost many of the matches he entered, including a wrestling match against Eve Heartsong, First Lady of Libertad. But many in the audience, including his adoring wife, agreed he showed some of the most graceful moves of all the contestants.
