LA
Doris Hackl won by a
Majority Decision in a 10-round decision against
Chevelle Hallback. As Ryan Wissow reported "An
excellent fight, and a good clash of styles. Hallback
was the aggressor and clearly the much harder puncher,
but the taller southpaw Hacki was very precise with
her combinations, although she sometimes slapped with
her punches. Hallback missed with some wild punches,
but she also managed to land several bombs and she had
Hackl clearly in trouble on a couple of occasions. But
Hackl came on strong later in the fight as Hallback
began to slow down and lunge with some of her punches.
Hackl counter-punched pretty well. Hackl couldn't hurt
Hallback with a baseball bat, but she showed good
stamina and fought a pretty smart fight. Although I
feel that Hallback did enough to win the decision, the
fight was VERY close with rounds that could have been
scored for either fighter, and Hackl was awarded the
decision, which the crowd boo'd." Other
boxing fans that wrote into WBAN said that the fight
was a bad decision, and should have gone to Hallback.
Looks like a rematch in in the making! Hackl
is now 4-0, and Hallback fell to 5-2. In another
bout, J'Marie Moore, TKO'd Anita Wells in the third
round. Wissows comments, "An exciting fight, for the
wrong reasons. These two performed pretty poorly
tonight. At least Moore knew how to use a jab and
decent footwork, but she is very slow (handed and
foot), and the street fighter Wells was brawling in
and landing bombs on Moore (many punches missed, but
several good ones did land). Wells showed ZERO boxing
skills, but she looked hungry in the first round as
she bum-rushed Moore and won the 1st round big. Wells
was holding her own until she, out on nowhere, took a
knee for a standing eight count because she ran out of
gas from shooting her load in the 1st round. And then
in round 3, Moore finally opened up with some decent
punches as Wells basically took another knee and quit
from what was obvious fatigue (and she was complaining
about her contact lenses causing her eyes discomfort).
Not a good fight for women's boxing, but it was oddly
entertaining." Moore is now 2-0,
and I spoke to her and Ann Wolfe after the fight. She
was very positive about her win and is ready and
waiting to get in the ring with another
"daughter"..... Stay tune for this to
eventually take place if Moore has anything to do
about it! Also, Ann Wolfe TKO'd Gina Nicholas in the 2nd
round. Wissow, "You people need to keep your eyes on
Wolfe. She is THE GOODS. She may very well be one of
the best P4P fighters in women's boxing right now! She
showed all the tools against Nicholas: speed, power,
skills, movement, versatility, she's the complete
package. She won the first round but Nicholas held her
own, then early in the 2nd round, BOOM! Nicholas goes
down and goes down hard from a right hand. Nicholas
gets up but is clearly in no condition to continue as
the referee correctly stops the fight as Nicholas is
clearly out on her feet, following one of the
explosive endings I have ever seen in a women's fight.
Wolfe was already destroyed the 154 pound title holder
Mary Ann Almager. Anne Wolfe is for real! "
Wissow hit it right on the mark with Wolfe. Wolfe
is absolutely FEARLESS. Wolfe is quickly showing
that she is in a league of her own. She will
literally step up to the plate with any fighter.
By the way, ANN WOLFE will be named the
"Fighter of the Month" on WBAN for the month
of May. Wolfe is 5-0 (3KO), and
Nicholas dropped to 10-4-2. Lastly, Sandra Yard
defended her IFBA Featherweight championship belt
against Beverly Szymanski
and won by a KO in the eight round. But,
controversy is already surrounding this fight. Szymanski is protesting the outcome of this fight,
according to inside sources. Wissow reported the
following: "A good fight. Yard tried to
keep the fight on the outside, while Szymanski was
coming forward trying to make it a phone booth war.
Yard used her height and reach advantages to her
benefit in out boxing Szymanski for most of the
rounds, while Szymanski also managed to land some good
punches as she was pressing the fight. Then in the 8th
round, Yard unleashed a barrage of power punches that
shook Szymanski, as Szymanski's back was on the ropes,
and Yard got her in a corner to throw more
punches. Szymanski tried to clinch Yard, and a
fraction of a second after the ref yelled break [he
was just about to physically separate the fighters]
Yard used her unclenched arm, her left, to drill
Szymanski with a left hook. Szymanski was counted
out. The commentators were wondering if Yard was
in the wrong for hitting Szymanski after the ref
yelled break, but the ref hadn't yet actually stepped
between the two fighters when the punch landed. Big KO win for Yard."
Yard is now 10-2-2, Szymanski
dropped to 9-6. In addition,
Rolanda Andrews won by a unanimous
six-round decision over Sherri Thompson. Thompson
was clearly outboxed by the more polished Andrews, who
is a southpaw. Andrews moved to 4-4, and
Thompson dropped to 3-2.
April 22, 2000, in Centennial Hall, Hayward,
California
Gina Guidi
(153) defeated Trina Ortegon, of New Mexico in a ten-round
title fight for the vacant International
Women’s Boxing Federation (IWBF) World Middleweight Championship title. Guidi
won a Majority Decision over Ortegon in a ten-round bout that was described by
WBAN reporter as "a barnburner all the way with both women showing that special courage when
faced with an opponent that won't back down -- The crowd gave a standing
ovation after each round -- The scorecards, 97-93, 97-93, and 96-96 -- This
fight would have been called one of the fights of the decade had it been
videoed." Guidi's record is now 13-1-1
(5KO). Ortegon is now 8-2. A second women's bout that was scheduled
on the card was cancelled. The scheduled debut fight of Carol "The Double Barrel" Wirth vs Mary
Touralotte, at 143 pounds, was scratched due to Ms. Touralotte showing up 11
pounds overweight and without a required blood test.

April
20, 2000 in Beaumont, Texas Valerie Mahfood, title holder of both the IWBF/WIBF
Light Heavyweight championship TKO'd Monica McGowan
1:47 in the third round. Mahfood's record moved to
8-3, and McGowan is now 1-1-0. Originally, the fight between #7 ranked (I. F. B. A. Super Heavy Weight)
Monica McGowen and I.W.B.F./W.I.B.F. Lt. Heavy Weight World Champion Valerie
"Wolfe" Mahfood was slotted as an undercard fight on the Miller Lite
Productions: "Texas Title Belt" fight card. The main event was an eight
round, men's light weight Texas Title belt fight. However, as things
progressed and the media coverage continued to focus on the women's bout, the
Wolfe vs. McGowen fight advanced to the main event, leaving the men's title
fight as the "featured" undercard bout. Meeting in the center of the ring, both fighters touched gloves as they
received instructed from the referee, Ricky Webb. The night before, each had
weighed in within two pounds of one another. McGowen was the heavier of the
two at 182, with Mahfood tipping in at a 180 pounds. The opening bell sounded. Both boxers met in the center of the ring. Although McGowen has relatively little ring experience, she did not
demonstrate it against Mahfood. Throwing a stiff jab dead on target, she
earned Mahfood's respect. As well, the Wolfe established herself with her trademark jab/left hook combination to the head. At the end of the first
round, neither fighter appeared injured. The first round seemed to be a
learning session in which they came to see each other's strengths and ultimately, their weaknesses. In the second round, the action picked up tremendously as Mahfood was fueled
by chants of "Wolfe" from the crowd. Monica, a strong counter puncher, would
slip the jab of Mahfood in exchange for one of her own. After several
attempts at engaging McGowen, Mahfood dropped the left jab and begin to lead
with a straight right. The action was non stop as both fighters threw in
combinations of at least fours. However, with thirty seconds to go in the second round, the Wolfe took the led. Leading with a left hook to the body,
she cause McGowen to drop her hands. Then, she fired a straight right that
shattered Monica's nose. A few more punches and the round was over.
The third round begin what was yet to be another two minutes of war. Again
they met in the center of the ring, took hold of the canvas beneath them, and
made way for battle amidst a now standing crowd. McGowen was beginning to
show a little fatigue, which allowed the Wolfe to capitalize on her strength: stamina. Never stopping to set her feet, Wolfe repeatingly threw jabs aimed
for the now blood strained face of McGowen. This tactic, though effective, left Mahfood vulnerable to the strong right hand of
McGowen. While attempting to throw an unanchored jab, the Wolfe was caught by a
vicious right hand. Losing her balance, she stumbled backward. Monica charged forward to catch her, but Mahfood had since pivoted to her right and
was able to counter with another straight right hand to McGowen's jaw. Monica was now defenseless. Wolfe unloaded twenty-six unanswered punches
before the referee attempted to stop the action. Simultaneously, McGowen's
corner threw in the towel to end the assault with 57 seconds to go in the
third round. (A special thanks to the Wolfe Team
for providing photos which will be posted soon and a
fight report!)

WBAN's inside reporter said that the four rounds were

laterally, staying outside and throw a few
combinations. As soon as Mullett would move in

April 14, 2000 San Antonio, Texas
In a coming-out party for a pair of boxing debutantes, San Antonio's
Mary Wells earned a unanimous decision over fellow Alamo City native
Lisa Avila on Friday night at Freeman Coliseum. Wells dropped Avila with a left hook in the fourth round to earn the
victory. All three judges scored the fight 38-37 in favor of Wells.
The four-round fight, one of five on the undercard of the Tony Ayala
Jr.-Jorge Vado main event, wasn't the most technical display of boxing ever
seen. What they lacked in technique, however, Wells and Avila more than made up
for with tenacity and grit. Neither held anything back, delighting the 7,845 in attendance with a
continuous stream of hooks and jabs. The knockdown didn't seem to hurt Avila much, but gave Wells just enough of
an advantage to earn her first career victory. Wells
gaining her first win 1-0, and Lisa 0-1.

had been covering her activities all week.
I really thought she was going to take this girl out early but
Gray traded punch for punch with Patricia. Demick is now 4-2 (3KO).
Gray is now 1-1.

Wisc.
Bridgett
Benjamin of Milwaukee, easily advanced her professional boxing
career Thursday at Shopko Hall in Green Bay, Wisc., to two wins in two
outings when she fought Alchevia Bell, Chicago, in a
welterweight women's bout. Benjamin, 145, scored her second knockout in as many starts in the her
professional career when Bell, 149, could not answer the bell for the third
round. Bell brought a wild windmill style of fighting against Benjamin's
sharp boxing skills. At the end of the first round
Bell was visibly wobbly on her feet and winded, a result of Benjamin's accurate punching to the head
and body. The overall nature of the fight was that of a brawl. Benjamin adds
to her 6-1 amateur record. At the end of the second round, a winded and hurt Bell managed to get back
to her corner stool and told the referee that she could not continue.
Benjamin
was credited with a second TKO. Benjamin was scheduled to fight Alicia Sparks of Indianapolis but
when Denise Moreates knocked out Sparks last week a substitute
had to be
found quickly and Bell was the standing. Among five men's bouts on the six-match card, Eric ‘Butterbean' Esch won by
TKO in a four round super-heavyweight fight. Report by

Laila Ali (168) TKOd Karen Bill (166) in the third round.
Ali is now 5-0 (5KO's), and Bill has
slipped to 1-5. Laila Ali's famous father sat at
ringside, Ali won her fifth straight fight against
Karen Bill (1-4), a 166 lb. fighter from Oklahoma
City. Bill became the first fighter to knock Laila Ali down when she floored
Laila Ali in the second round of the
fight. Laila won by a TKO in the third round. As
one news source reported, "Ali, clearly the more
stylish fighter, scored with several rights in the
first round, but Bill landed a solid right just before
the bell that let Ali know - for the first time in her
brief career - that she was in for a real fight."
Bill protested that the fight was prematurely stopped
and voiced that it was because of who she was fighting
not that the fight should have been
stopped. Muhammad Ali gave Laila a hug
after the fight, and she said to one news source,
"I think he called me a warrior, but I'm not
really sure." News reports indicated
that the fight was a slugfest with a lot of
action. After Laila fought Bill, she sat at
ringside with her father and watched the rest of the
bouts.
April 8, 2000, from
Bakersfield, CA
Semi-main event - Debbie Foster (2-1) vs. Patricia
Linton of Tyler, Texas, making her pro debut.
The semi main event brought loud cheers for local
favorite Debbie Foster (2-1) who won by TKO for the
second time at the Garden when she sent Patricia
Linton of Tyler, Tex., who was making her pro debut,
to the canvas 26 seconds into the fourth round. Foster dominated the entire fight, really turning up
the intensity in the second and fourth rounds,
connecting left and right jabs to Linton's head
several times. The third round saw a tired Linton grab
on to Foster and fall to the mat. Foster took
advantage of Linton's fatigue as Linton could no
longer defend herself, causing the referee to stop the
fight. "Two KOs at the Garden - what do you say -
thank you Bakersfield," Foster said. "More
than focusing on the jab I was working on the things I
didn't do last time. She (Linton) actually was quite
powerful. I just took my time." Foster's trainer
Tommy Tillery, who was a little disappointed with her
fighting tactics at the last Fight Night at the
Garden, was pleased with Saturday's performance.
"Tonight (Saturday) was a little bit better, but
in my heart I know she could do way better than
that," Tillery said. "She's still a little
crowd weary. I'm hoping I can get more fights for her
in the 6-8 round range because she doesn't warm up
until the fourth round, but that will come with
time." The evening's event actually began on a
sour note when the first two under card fights were
declared draws by the judges, which drew much
hostility from the boisterous crowd. News report from
Sherry Mombourquette.
