Letter
from Team Mrdjovenovich2 In the All-women's boxing card, "World Title Wave",
proved to be a very entertaining card. The event was telecast on Webcast, via Pay-Per-View, through
aringoftheirown.com.
The first fight of the
night featured Shelly Burton, 157.5, of Montana, vs.
Laura "Lady Ram"
Ramsey, 163.5, of Winter Haven, Florida. Burton was supposed to
fight Laetitia Robinson, but the Burton Team was notified just shortly
before boarding their aircraft, going to Edmonton, that Robinson dropped
off the card when she was not medically cleared, due to an injury to her
nose. They were told at that time that Burton would be
fighting Laura Ramsey. Ramsey taking the fight on a 72 hour
notice.
The Burton-Ramsey bout was set for 10 rounds and they were fighting for
the vacant WIBA Intercontinental Super Middleweight. The bout was
action-filled for the two, and both displayed toughness throughout the
fight. Burton won by a majority decision, with the judges scoring the
bout 97-93, 95-95, and 97-93. This was Ramsey's first loss as a pro.
The second fight of the night,
Chevelle “ Fists of Steel" Hallback, 129,
fought Belinda Laracuente, 129.5, for the WIBA Super Featherweight
title. There were no knockdowns during the bout. Final judges scores
were 98-92, 98-92, and 98-92. WBAN would like to see
Jelena Mrdjenovich
fight Chevelle Hallback for a world title, as this would definitely be
an exciting match for boxing fans to see. In the third fight of
the night it was “Bad News” for Lisa Brown, 120 3/4, when
Jeannine
"Heartless" Garside, 121 3/4, of Windsor, Canada, with only a 3-0
record, defeated her for the WIBA super-Bantamweight world title belt.
It was truly a battle of the southpaws. Garside surprised Brown with a
third round knockdown, where Brown took an eight-count. Garside, one of
the most exciting boxers to join the pro ranks is evidently following
the footsteps of her trainer, Margaret Sideroff. Sideroff won her first
world title in her fourth pro bout.in the main event,
Jelena Mrdjenovich, 128 3/4, of Edmonton,
Canada, fought Franchesca "The Chosen One" Alcanter, 129,
for the WBC/WIBF super featherweight title. Jelena effectively used her
jab and combinations, and 24 seconds of the sixth round, threw a left
hook to Alcanter's head. Alcanter fell to the canvas with the hard left,
and the fight was stopped by KO.
Rock and Sock Productions gets high marks for this very entertaining
card, and the webcast was very professionally done.
Rock & Sock Productions in association with KO Promotions and
Independent Jewelers put on this event.
There was two male non-title bouts on the undercard.

a late notice opponent Mandilla Daniel of Guyana. Salandy defeated
Daniel. The local news went on to say that Daniel’s record coming into the
fight was in serious doubt. Apparently Daniel was announced to have
had a pristine record of 8-0, but that several sources informed the Express
news that she was in fact making her pro debut. Salandy won by a unanimous
decision. Promoter Potts told news sources that he had to get an opponent in
24 hours, after the original opponent, Terry Blair, missed her flight.
According to this news source, he admitted that Daniel had never had a
fight.Daniel had a unverified amateur boxing record of 10 fights. To
top the night off of a card that failed to bring in a big crowd, the
promoter, Buxo Potts called the police fraud squad on American Don “Moose”
Lewis, according to the Trinidad news, and took Lewis into custody when he
was about to depart on a flight from the Piarco International Airport.
Potts is alleging that Lewis was illegally breaking a contract, and leaving
Trinidad with the belts.

December 10, 2004 - Australia
In October, Australian Sharon “Wild Thing” Anyos captured the WBF
featherweight strap with an entertaining, clear-cut victory over tough Texan
Linda Tenberg. Tonight, again fighting in front of her home crowd at
the Southport Sharks Club, Queensland, she contested in a much more
technical, close battle with Trinidad-born Canadian
Lisa “Bad News” Brown.
While the 34-year-old Anyos constantly charged forward, the southpaw Brown
looked to effectively counterpunch with swift straight left hands.
Anyos established a decent pace in the opening stanza, constantly pressing
the attack and despite landing few punchers, with Brown content to just
throw the occasional counter, won the round on work-rate alone.
A scrappy sort of round ensued in the second, with again few scoring
punchers, although Brown was able to get home with a couple rights hooks
late to clinch the round.
The Australian was the busier fighter in the third, but the 5’2 ½” Brown was
clearly the more effective, making Anyos pay with precise left hands each
time she either leaned in, or missed with the jab.
Anyos made a slight adjustment in the fourth, trapping the Canadian on the
ropes and firing to her well-cut midsection on a few occasions. It was
enough to snare the round, but Brown came back in the fifth, twisting and
rolling out of the incoming traffic, and scoring with the left hand.
Rounds six and seven were close, Anyos again throwing more leather, but
Brown a lot more prudent with her shots. Hard scoring rounds, maybe leaning
towards the defending champion due to sheer aggression.
There was little that landed of note in the eighth, although Brown did
counter brilliantly in one exchange with her back to the ropes, which
probably shaded it in her direction.
In the final two stanzas, Anyos continued to walk forward, but Brown,
picking her spots, seemed to offset her opponent’s offence, using her ring
smarts to walk her into her crisp left counters.
A close, well-contested, and high-octane encounter. I preferred the
challenger’s effective counters over Anyos’ work rate, and had Brown winning
97-94, although there was little separating these two gutsy combatants in at
least four of the rounds.
As it turned out, the judges awarded Anyos a majority decision. Scores 96-96
and 96-95, reflected the closeness of the bout, and I suppose were
reasonably acceptable, although Wally Lewis’ card of 100-91 was ridiculous.
How he didn’t have Brown winning any rounds is baffling. Fights like this
will continue to enhance the reputation of women’s boxing. But judging like
Lewis’ just detracts the fight game in general.
Anyos is now 8-3 (1). Brown suffered her first loss and is 9-1-2 (3).

both being counter-punchers had great exchanges that were
furious and that the crowd got into the fight when those
exchanges took place. Velez pressed the action and
landed the bigger shots, but Brown looked like she outworked
Velez at times.

This was a surprisingly competitive battle.
Olga seemed very confused and even hurt a couple of times in the first
round. Then she found her rhythm and started countering Lisa's attach.
Lisa was without a doubt the aggressor and won a unanimous decision by
40-36 on all score cards.

Excerpt about Lisa Brown
Brown vs. Salazar bout 05/05/00
On the undercard, Lisa Brown of Toronto spoiled the
hometown debut of Tucson's Leilani Salazar when the referee stopped the
fight at 49 seconds of the fourth and final round of their bantamweight
women's fight. If the victory wasn't a complete surprise for Brown,
simply getting a fight was. Brown was Canada's national amateur champion
but said she has had trouble finding a first pro bout since obtaining her
professional license a year ago. Finally, after Las Vegas fighter
Valerie Troike dropped out, Brown received a call at midnight late
Wednesday to ask if she could hustle to Tucson. She didn't hesitate,
despite knowing she would be facing an unknown opponent in her
hometown. "I know my abilities," Brown said. "I
know as long as I went out there and fight the way I know I can, there was
no way I'd lose." Brown appeared to win the first round easily but
Salazar made a comeback in the second and third rounds behind spirited
chants of "Tucson, Tucson." That was more than enough warning
for Brown to know a decision could work in Salazar's favor. "I
knew I had to go for the knockout," Brown said. As it turned
out, Brown's suspicions may have been right. On the three judges' cards
entering the fourth round, one judge had it dead even, one had Salazar up
29-28 and the other had Brown up 29-28. Brown landed several
combinations early in the fourth round, then virtually tackled Salazar
before later pinning her against the ropes when the fight was
called. "She didn't wear me down; it was just a bunch of
wrestling," said Salazar, now 3-5 as a pro. "It was
disappointing." Salazar's trainer, Hank McCadden, said Brown
was not only a better fighter than expected but also a left-hander.
McCadden said he and Salazar were given the impression Brown was a righty.
"But I don't want to take anything away from her," McCadden
said. "She's a good fighter." Salazar earned $800. |
