March 26, 2005 - Kansas City, Missouri
Mary Ortega, 110,  stopped Stephanie Dobbs, 108,  in the second round by TKO.  Team Dobbs told WBAN, when we asked about this fight, "Unfortunately the fight was stopped prematurely in the second round. Stephanie was hit with about 3 unanswered punches and the referee Danny Campbell jumped in to a chorus of boos. When we asked him why after the fight he said,   'Because of the Katie Dallam thing and all the bad press about it lately, we don't want to take any chances with women's fights.'   He went on to say that if the fight were 'anywhere but Kansas City, I wouldn't have stopped it.' That same referee also did the main event between two males were one guy was knocked down 3 times in the first round before he finally stopped it. Stephanie was never down or hurt and because of her experience and record of hanging in with tough fighters should have been given a chance to be Stephanie. As far as the fight goes it was a non stop slugfest with both landing a lot of shots. But, it was a good fight and Mary wasn't winning by much at the time of the stoppage."

This is the second straight time Ortega has defeated McNamara (who did fight once in between, getting her only win against debut fighter Stacy Lemmers).
