May 17, 2002 - Orleans Hotel, Las Vegas, NV  
In front of a packed house at the Orleans, Melinda Cooper, 116, now 2-0-0 (2KO) won by a TKO in the second round after, her opponent Elizabeth Cervantes, 115, did not come out for the third round.  Cooper, at only 18 years old, and only two pro fights under her belt, she is quickly demonstrating that she has the potential of being a top fighter in the sport. ©Photos by Mary Ann Owen
