February 4, 2005 - Quinault Casino, in Ocean
Shores, Washington
Dakota Stone of Seattle, Washington, stopped the over-the-weight
limit Brenda Bell-Drexel in the third round. According to WBAN’s
insider, Drexel came in at 177 lbs. for the fight that was contracted for
160 lbs. Drexel-Bell did shed off two pounds, and Stone put some
gain-it-quick weight. Stone was impressive especially in light of the fact
that she has been out of the ring for awhile. Stone used her jab
effectively and connected with combinations consistently. In the third
round, Stone landed some solid body punches and midway through that round
she pinned Drexel in the corner and really started blasting her. The referee
stopped the fight at 1:24 seconds into the third.
Oct. 1, 2004 - Bayside Expo Center, South
Boston, MA -Report by Ken Castro
Coming off an emotional loss on two fronts less than three months ago,
Jamie "The Hurricane " Clampitt climbed into the ring to battle
a determined Brenda "Tiger Lady" Bell
Drexel last night in a matchup of
Welterweights at the Bayside Expo Center.
Clampitt, the former IWBF and NABAW Light Welterweight Champion, faced Bell
Drexel (#8 WIBF) in her first bout since losing to Jane Couch, in a raucous
affair back in June. Clampitt moved to 14-3 (3KO) by taking a unanimous six
round decision (59-55,59-55, 60-55) over Bell Drexel who dropped to 5-23-2
with the defeat.
Clampitt weighed in at 142, Drexel hit the scales at 151.
Getting back in the ring was a priority for Clampitt who carried a heavy
heart in the Couch fight after losing her longtime mentor, friend and
trainer, Tiny Ricci, less than a day before the skirmish.
"He (Ricci) was on my mind the whole time, " said Clampitt following the
victory. "I have to adjust to life without him but I could definitely feel
his presence in my corner throughout the fight. I felt that he was with me
here tonight."
Bell Drexel proved to be a solid draw for Clampitt. After a mostly defensive
posture by the two fighters, Drexel, of San Marcos, TX backed Clampitt up
early in the second round, forcing her into the corner. Drexel went to the
body but Clampitt worked her way out and utilized her jab for the remainder
of the round.
"Everything I worked on in the gym I was able to take into the fight," said
Clampitt who was visibly more aggressive in the fourth round. In that round,
Clampitt fired a pair of overhand rights that scored while Bell Drexel
briefly bounced off the ropes.
Clampitt stayed with the jab in the fifth, but Drexel who was eager to show
that her record was not a true indicator of the ability that she brought
north, kept coming at Clampitt. Late in the round, Clampitt tagged her
opponent with a crisp overhand right.
"I felt pretty good, I was trying to be patient," said Clampitt. "A lot of
times I found myself rushing in and trying to do too much too soon. I was
hoping to wear her down in the first three rounds by working to the body.
She had a lot of weight on me but I didn't feel that much snap on her
punches."
In the final round both combatants found the center of the ring to their
liking. Ahead on points Clampitt displayed a modicum of offense, preferring
to fend off a late flurry by Bell Drexel.
"She did what she had to do in adapting to a much bigger opponent," said
Clampitt's trainer Chuck Sullivan after the bout. "What she had to do was
box and she did that beautifully."
The pair faced off three years ago when Clampitt was fighting out of Canada.
At that time both were at 136 lb.
After the win Clampitt when offered up the though of having a rematch with
Couch, was all for the notion, "We definitely want to get back and get that
(rematch) done," she offered. "I know that her camp is all for it. She's
going to see a different fighter next time. I won't have to deal with the
loss that I felt last time; I'll be ready."VIDEO

December 21, 2003 - Marriott Hotel,
Bristol, England
In front of a sell-out crowd, on her own 'dinner-show' promotion, in a
rematch, Jane Couch, 144, won by a clear unanimous decision
(80-73) over Brenda Bell-Drexel in an eight-round welterweight
bout. An excerpt from the Evening Post, "In
the first round was a range-finder for Couch, it served its purpose. She
won the second easily, catching her heavier opponent with neat jabs and
right hooks to the head. Couch held centre stage in the third, teeing
Bell-Drexel up with more well-aimed jabs and making the American lunge
and miss. But any thoughts of putting the Texan away early were
dispelled in the fourth when Couch dominated, landing with punishing
combinations to head and body, only for her opponent to stand firm.
Although the American was durable, her only moments of success came at
close quarters. Wily Couch kept moving, demonstrating superior fitness
and technique to stay in control. Couch's timing was impeccable as
she warmed to her task in the seventh, and Bell-Drexel was breathing
heavily when she retreated to her stool at the end of the session." Tex Woodward, Jane Couch's manager/coach said, "Jane boxed more
thoughtfully this time and was a clear winner, but Brenda must be given
credit for never stopping trying, looking for that 'big punch' right up
to the last bell. As last time it was a pleasure working with Brenda,
and her trainer John Roppolo, they are both great ambassadors for
boxing".
