Jenifer Alcorn TKO'd Imelda Arias 1:23 seconds in the first
round. An observer of the fight said that it may
be time for Alcorn to step up the competition. Alcorn
improved her record to 5-0 (4KO). Fight report from
Sacramento Bee Newspaper (copyrighted): He was a little late to help Imelda Arias. The 5-foot 2-inch fighter from
Juarez, Mexico, did little of consequence beyond hunching over in a corner
in a hail of head and body blows before Stammon interceded just 1:37 into
her lightweight bout against Alcorn. That's all the time Alcorn needed to break a sweat, not to mention Arias'
jaw. "I was expecting a tougher match," said Alcorn, who improved to 5-0 with her
fourth first-round knockout. "I was surprised. I think she thought I was
going to get tired, and then she would get me. I just didn't stop."
Arias (8-6) squeezed in a single shot to the head before Alcorn went
ballistic with 28 unanswered punches. "I don't think Arias has ever been hit like that," said Gary
Sullenger, Alcorn's manager. "It was evident early on that she was in trouble. I think
she had a strategy; it just unraveled in a hurry."
As much as Alcorn loved to win in front of a home crowd, she had hoped to
get a little more fight experience than Arias offered.
"This was supposed to be a step up for me, but it didn't work out that way,"
Alcorn said. "Hopefully, next time I can get a tougher fight in."

Marilyn Salcido
of Fontana defeated Kim Reed of Los Angeles by
TKO. Fight report (Excerpt from the
Bakerfield Californian, By Sherry Mombourquette
Californian staff writer: The female featherweight bout, which was intended to
last four rounds, ended quickly with the fight being
called after round two due to a physician's
advisory. In her pro debut, Marilyn Salcido of
Fontana defeated Kim Reed of Los Angeles by TKO.
"This is what I dreamed of," Salcido, said
of her pro debut. "My game plan was to stick to
her and just throw my jabs. I wanted to be the
aggressive one. It was a lot of hard work and my coach
helped me a lot." Salcido looked more like the
veteran as she came out charging Reed with almost
non-stop hooks. Despite a height difference of
several inches with Reed looking down at Salcido,
Salcido was successful at connecting hooks with Reed's
face and head. Salcido drew blood from
Reed's face early in the match, causing the match to
end early and sending Reed to the doctor. Copyrighted

Hampshire - First Profes
Report: Carley "The Hammer"
Pesente, from Hartford, Connecticut trained for
nine months before making her pro debut. On July 14,
in New Hampshire, Pesente met up with Kisha
"Awesome" Snow of Brooklyn, N.Y. This
was a "First" for New Hampshire with women's
boxing, and according to news sources the fight was
stopped too soon. Pesente and Snow fought for
one minute and twenty seconds when the fight was
stopped in the first round and Snow won the fight by a
TKO. Snow had backed Pesente up to the ropes with
some very straightforward hard jabs. Pesente was on
her feet when the fight was stopped. The crowd
booed .....Pesente told WBAN the following
(Excerpt): "I fought Kisha Snow last night. It was the first time that two female
professional fighters had fought in New Hampshire. I lost a controversial
decision that neither the fans or the State boxing commissioners could
believe. Kisha and I fought toe to toe during the course of the first
round. She hit me and I hit her, but at the end of the first round the ref
came over and looked at me and said, 'Oh I see something in your eyes I'm
ending this fight.' I was not hurt, dazed or incoherent and I could not
believe he was stopping the fight. "
Pesente was pleased that for close to 45 minutes she
sat in the parking lot signing autographs with many
fans saying the fight should not have been
stopped. Sue TL Fox 07/15/00

Lisa Avila defeated Sara Nichols
by a four-round
unanimous decision, final score was 39-37, 38-36, 38-37.
Fight Report by Esteban Erik Stipnieks
"Aged Aggressive Avila evens the score. I was at
a loss for a predictions pre-fight. Pre-fight, Avila wanted
to "feel out" --- then attack. Sara Nichols had no game plan other then to trust in the lord.
She brought a bible ringside. The fight proved to be a good battle.
There was a 21- year age difference Sara Nichols, 19
years old, and Lisa Avila, was 40. Nothing in this fight was certain
until it happened." Erik -Round One
Both fighters took slightly backward cautious stances. Sara emptied
her tank knocking down Lisa Avila once and almost twice before the bell
ended. Avila appeared to be fearful and tentative. Round Two
Avila slid into aggressor mode
and a heavy exchange of about fifteen seconds occurred in
the neutral corner. Avila got the better of it. The action was intense toe to toe.
Round Three Lisa Avila slid some martial arts training and was cautioned twice for
a spinning backfist. Sara Nichol's trainers scream
for her to stay on the outside. Sarah landed a few jabs. One shot causing Sara Nichol's nose to bleed.
Avila landed some solid shots, and so did Sarah. Defense was
generally poor by both fighters. Round Four
A pattern slid in Avila was clearly the
aggressor landing some solid shots on Sara, almost making her go down. There was
clinching near the end as it looked like Sarah might go down.
The score cards indicate a close bout with 39-37, 38-36,
38-37. Sarah winning the first round and the final three going to Lisa Avila. Lisa Avila is now 1-1, and Sarah Nichols 0-1.
