(OCT 8) StarFight Productions brought
another night of exciting boxing to the A La Carte Event Pavilion in
Tampa, Florida. The main event between the number one super
featherweight in the world (WIBA and IBA World Champion) Chevelle "Mo
Baby" Hallback (24-4-1, 11 KOs, 1 ND), 135 lbs, and Melissa "Honey Girl"
Del Valle (29-5-1, 11 KOs, 1 ND), 137.5 lbs, ended in a no-contest.
The bout came to a sudden end at the
start of the third round when an accidental headbutt occurred. Hallback
stepped in to throw a combination, Del Valle stepped forward in what
appeared to be an effort to clinch/hold Hallback causing the forehead of
Hallback and the mouth of Del Valle to collide. Immediately after, blood
could be seen gushing out of the upper right lip of Del Valle. Referee
Telis Assimenios stepped in and called for time as the ringside doctor
inspected Del Valle's lip. Thereafter, he determined that there was no
way for Del Valle to continue and the match was thus ruled a no
decision. Del Valle's lip had a gash about an inch in length with the
skin and tissue frayed.
Official time of stoppage was at the 0:11
mark of the third. This was the first time in Hallback's career that she
has fought in her hometown of Tampa. Next up for Hallback will be on
Rock & Sock Promotions all female pay-per-view November 18 from
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Hallback is scheduled to defend her WIBA
world title against fellow Floridian Belinda Laracuente. |
