Beautiful Brawlers Kicked Off Another Series of Saturday Sparring Sessions
by Blanca Gutierrez

(MAY 30) Last Saturday, on May 18, 2013, Beautiful Brawlers kicked off another series of 10:00 a.m. sparring sessions that will continue from now until August 31st when the all-female boxing event the Beautiful Brawlers III will take place at the Surf Spot in Pacifica, California. 15 bouts featuring the “Best of the Best” will once again make our show a success. Last year Beautiful Brawlers was voted Best Amateur show of the Year and BabyFace Boxing Best promoter of the year by CSN Bay area sports. This year we have even a better line up. We have a Mecca of female boxing in California and we don’t take it for granted we build upon it.

Former World Champs and current World Champions showed up to not only spar each and other but to have fun, talk to the youngsters, mentor and be a part of the Beautiful Brawlers. We do this for the girls. We do this for ourselves and we do this for the girls in the future who want to put those gloves on and be a student of the sweet science. When a boxer with hopes of being a champion comes in, we take her seriously. It’s not just about boxing, it’s a sisterhood.

We also have MMA fighters who want to work on their hands , and have fights coming up. They have been a great addition to our sparring because the MMA fighters are fearless and leave it all in the ring. Kelly Fashold makes her MMA pro debut on June 22nd, 2013 and has been coming over to Babyface Boxing every Saturday consistently for a month. She has been a great addition to our sparring because she is tall and a middle weight. Kelly Faszholz and Raquel Miller, 2012 152lb USA National Boxing Champion and 2013 Nationals Silver medalist, started off the sparring Saturday and kicked it into full gear. Of course their sparring was very spirited with both gals staying very busy. If I left these two women in the gym and came back the next morning, these two would still be going at it.

Melissa Mc Morrow, one of the Bay Area’s favorite 112 lb World Champions came in to spar and worked with 2011 Beautiful Brawlers champion Tatiana Almaraz who is considered by many in our area, one of the best boxers in northern California. Melissa actually had fought Tatiana in the amateurs twice and both have a similar style.

Their inside game is tight and the younger girls attentively watch and learn from the best. After sparring each other, both Almaraz and Mc Morrow sparred youngsters waiting in the wings to get some work in. “What I love about Melissa is that she works with everybody and any of the girls who want to get in there with her. Melissa is a huge role model for them. She not only has superior skills but a huge heart.” As the other girls spar, Melissa calls out instruction and gives them some advice. Just what these girls need. SOLID ADVICE. Word on the street is that she called out Eliza Olson, former lightweight world champ. “I love Melissa, I will fighter her any time,” Olson says as she wipes the sweat off her brow from sparring both Miller and Faszholz. The sisterhood we have is not comparable to any other gym. Girls come from all over California to get sparring in. It simply the best place in northern California to be if you want to get sparring in with women or girls who are bad ass.

Former World Champions Martha Salazar and Gina Guidi were also on hand and were actively coaching and working corners. This is a group effort. When the younger girls get into the ring and spar and leave their hands down -they are going to hear about it. If they do not use their jab enough, they are going to hear about it. Any flaws, we try to work on. We get the road work in, we talk about conditioning and diet. For some of the girls we talk about public speaking and how to represent themselves. A lot of the girls who come into spar are getting ready for our all female show. What better place to get ready than a gym filled with girls and women boxers, MMA fighters and world champions. We also have a great group of our coaches like Ed Clemens and Eloy Ramirez who 100% support female boxing and give us great advice and conditioning. I feel blessed that we can offer such a place for females.

Sometimes we have our heart to heart conversations. Saturday, Gina Guidi gave us all very sound advice that makes us think about where we are going, what we should do to get there and how we should do it. Simply put, we appreciate Gina Guidi for extending that genuine love and caring and knowledge. I love my team. I love my best friends. What we have is a true respect for the game, for other female combat fighters, for ourselves and for the lives we touch.
