August 24, 2002 - North Dakota
At the Four Bears Casino, in North Dakota, Carley Pesente, 207,
3-3-1 and Denise Callahan, 275, 0-1-1 had a four-round draw. Final
Scoring was 38-38, 37-37, and 39-37 for Pesente. WBAN’s insider said
that the bout was a "spirited fight" when Pesente came out
firing from the opening bell and in the first minute of the round sent
Callahan to the Canvas. Callahan responded by getting up and mounting a
fierce counter barrage of combinations, pinning Pesente to the ropes with
her weight and throwing several hard punches. In the second round, both
came out in a slugfest, with both landing several hard punches to each
other. Callahan continued to use her weight to her advantage, and to
muscle Pesente around the ring---but Pesente landed several hard rights
that staggered Callahan. The third and fourth round begin and ended in
much the same way with both fighters slugging it out toe-to-toe. Pesente
used her speed and quickness to move around the ring, but tended to stop
punching after landing her combos allowing the bigger Callahan to counter
attack and use her weight to slow the quicker Pesente. The fight won the
top honors on the night for being the best bout of the evening. Both sides
have agreed to a rematch in the first week in October.
