(AUG 18) Last Thursday, at the Frontier Field, in Rochester, New York,
featherweight Ela Nunez, 126, won a
four-round majority decision over Lindsay Garbatt, 123.5.
In the
Rochester News they reported
the following: "Both
women mixed it up from start to finish in the four round event,
with Nunez coming away with a majority decision - two judges
calling the fight for Nunez and one calling it a draw. Nearly
everyone on press row thought it should have been a draw, with
Garbatt winning rounds 2 and 4, while Nunez carried the first
and third. The crowd voiced their displeasure, raining down a
chorus of boos after the decision. Nunez improved to 3-2, but
Garbatt was clearly the crowd favorite and should have a bright
future in the ring. Both fighters displayed some of the best
technical boxing of the entire evening, a tribute to their
dedication and the skill of their trainers."
