April 18,
2003 - The Palace, Lemoore, CA
In front of a packed audience, at the
Palace
Indian
Gaming
Center,
in Lemoore, California, had a night of women’s boxing, mixed in
with a heavyweight contender Michael Grant, who fought Gilbert
Martinez. The first fight of the night was between Isra “The
Raging Beauty” Girgrah, 128, and Laura Serrano, 124. The two
fought in a toe-to-toe battle that ended in a controversial
eight-round split decision for Girgrah. The
boxing fans met the decision with a loud sound of “boos.” Serrano,
took the Mexico flag and ran through the audience after the decision was
announced. Girgrah delivered Serrano her first loss as a pro boxer. Final scoring was 79-73
Serrano, and 77-75, and 78-74 Girgrah. The second bout of the evening was featured Sumya
“The Island Girl” Anani, 141, and Fredia “The Cheetah” Gibbs,
140.
Even before the fight began, Anani stared across the ring at
Gibbs, and shuffling her feet as if she was ready to spring in
action at the ring of the bell. Gibbs was also hyped and when
the bell did begin the first round both boxers immediately began
throwing leather. There was some holding throughout the first
round, and they were non-stop until the end of that round. But
it was learned shortly there after that Gibbs may have
experienced a fractured hand and the fight was halted. Anani
won the fight by a TKO. The third night of the fight featured
Grant and
Martinez.
Their fight ended in a win for Grant by a TKO in the later
rounds. Then the ESPN2 cameras stopped rolling as the next
women’s match was to take place between Nina Ahlin,
101.5, and
Vaia Zaganas, 104. It was a very entertaining fight and it was
unfortunate that it did not make television. WBAN did tape the
fight. Vaia Zaganas wond the fight with a final scoring of
59-55, 59-55, and 58-56. The last fight of the night was another
women’s match, that could have easily been named the “fight of
the night.” Layla McCarter, 134, of Las Vegas, took on local
boxer from Fresno, Lisa Lewis, 133. It was the classic boxer
against puncher. McCarter was slick as she slipped punches by
Lewis who is also one tough fighter! The six-rounder ended in a
unanimous decision for McCarter.
February 7, 2003 - The Palace, in
Auburn Hills, Michigan
In front of 12,123 witnesses…ah, I mean boxing fans, Mary Jo
Sanders, daughter of former Detroit Lions star Charlie
Sanders, made her pro debut against well-established "tomato
can" Willicia Moorehead. According to the local Detroit News
and certainly no surprise to WBAN they reported that Sanders had an
"easy time of it in her pro debut, knocking out hapless Willicia
Moorehead (2-12) in the first round." The news sources went on to
say, "Moorehead, who struggled to throw simple punches, was down
twice before referee Frank Garza stopped the fight." Another sad
day in today’s sport when these inept matchmakers and people that
have their "own agendas" in the sport continue to put these mickey-mouse
matches together…In a second women’s match, Windsor Canadian
Kara Ro, stopped Julia Day in the fourth round, and had
been knocked down three times, and lost a point for excessive
holding. Ro remains undefeated at 2-0-0, and Day is now 3-3-0.
