(JUN 22) On June 21, WBAN wrote a short article about the bout between
WIBA world champion Hollie "Hot Stuff" Dunaway fighting a pro debuter.
I also mentioned the fact that there was another bout that occurred on June
3, 2005, when the WIBU World Champion Krisztina Belinszky, 14-4-2 (9KO), of
Hungary, fought Pro debuter Erzsébet Budai and stopped her by TKO in the
third round.
These are FACTS, no more...no less, that occurred in June 2005 between
two world champions who fought boxers who had never had a pro fight.
Apparently Team Dunaway took exception to
WBAN pointing out another World Champion vs. Pro Debuter article, and
they expressed concerns that WBAN should go search them up and find out why
in the world their boxer would fight in such a matchup.
FACT #1: Dunaway, who is a World Champion
fought a sanctioned match against someone who has never gone into the ring.
FACT #2: Belinszky, a World Champion, fought a person who had never
fought before---What in the world is there to talk about? Mismatches, are
what they are--mismatches.
WBAN has received a request from Stacey Goodson, Hollie Dunaway's manager to
print his response to this article, dated June 21. Goodson wrote the
following:
(It is verbatim by Stacey Goodson)
Yes you should have
been there!!!
Hi I am the Manager of "Hot Stuff" Hollie Dunaway.
I am making a reply on todays WBAN article on Hollie Dunaway. Yes Hollie
fought a debuter , just like Sarah Goodson did the same night. The fact is
the promoter lost money anyway and he only paid the girl $400 for a 4
rounder. In this fight Hollie was not trying to prove anything. She just
wanted to fight at Home. And this was her first fight at home since she won
the Title against Terry Moss.But to say things like Hollie should have
fought a more creditable opponent is a opinion of one person. Is that person
saying that Hollie should only fight other world champions? Or should she
just not fight at Home because the local promoter cant afford to pay the 2
or 3 grand it was gonna cost to get for Smo Reed(3-1) from Topeka KS. The
fact is that Team "HOT STUFF" Tried very hard to get another opponent with a
good record. But we could not find anyone to take the fight. So to all
concerned if you think Hollie should fight a tougher girl for our local
shows, I mean if it is that important to you, Then contact me to make the
donations for the next show I will give it to the local promoter. He will be
happy to help you out. If your not having a good time in this sport than you
should get out of it. But Anna and Hollie are having fun they both had a
great time. And now they are good friends.
