 WBAN Record Member's MPEG/Photo galleries #285, #286, and #288
Before a sold-out crowd of 3,000, in the main event Holly Holm, 142.5, defeated Christy “The Coal Miner’s Daughter” Martin, 37, 141.5, of West Virginia in a shutout 10 round bout. Judges Rocky Burke of Las Cruces and Chuck Giampa of Las Vegas, Nevada., scored the fight 100-92, and Judge Fred Flutey of Tampa, Fla., scored it 98-92. Martin is now 46-4-2 (32KO), and Holm improved her record to 11-1-2 (4KO).

April 30, 2005 - Isle of Capri Casino, in Lula, Mississippi

December 6, 2002 - Pontiac Silverdome, in Detroit, Michigan
Christy Martin, 144,  won a 10-round decision over Mia St. John, 140 1/4.  St. John gets an "A+" for effort, as she hung in there and it was obvious that she trained very hard for the fight.  If St. John did not have boxing fans before the fight, she absolutely gained some after the fight. Martin could not take Mia out, like most predicted, and Mia took some punishing body shots---not missing a beat. Final scoring of the fight was 97-93, 97-93, 99-91.
