APRIL 2004

April 30, 2004 - Hammond Civic Center, Hammond, Indiana
On an ESPN2 “Friday Night Fights” card,  the televised women’s six-round bout featured Junior Lightweights Kristy Rose Follmar, 23, 5’8”, 129, from Muncie, Indiana, who stepped up the competition when she took on the relentless Liz Drew, 32, 5’7”, 131.5.  Drew kept the pressure on Follmar throughout most of the six rounds.  Both boxers were impressive, offering up their own game plan when facing each other in the ring.  Drew wanting to keep it close, fighting inside, and Follmar wanting to fight from the outside.
Follmar won a controversial split decision, with two judges scoring in favor for her 58-56, and one judge for Drew 58-56.  ESPN2 Commentator, Teddy Atlas scored the fight 57-57 (draw).  Follmar improved her record to 12-1-0 (8KO), and Drew is 7-7-0 (2KO). WBC/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Hasim "the Rock" Rahman said shortly after the fight in regards to the Follmar-Drew toe-to-toe battle, “I  think that ESPN should get this tape out to all the heavyweights in the division, if all the heavyweights fought like that, boxing would be in great shape." ESPN2 definitely scored a knockout when they aired this action-packed women’s match!

Aga Rylik, now 15-1-0 (11KO) of Poland, won a 10-round unanimous decision over Eliza Olson, now 7-3-2 (2KO), of the United States, and won the WIBF Junior Welterweight title.   JollyDee's Report: The women boxers fought for both the  vacant WIBO Junior Welterweight world title and Rylik's WIBF junior welterweight title. The bout was qualitative and balanced as well. Rylik's jabs were dominating the match but the Olson was better in in close fighting and her uppercuts were very dangerous. At the beginning of the match,  Rylik was dominant,  however in the middle of the fight Olson, succeeded in taking charge. In the end Rylik was able to take on the match again because of her stamina. When the fight ended, both boxers believed to be the winner. On the cards Rylik was the victorious (98-94, 98-94, and 97-94) however in my opinion 97-94 was the most objective.

April 8, 2004 - Wyndham Inn, Baltimore, Maryland
Experience proved the difference as Vaia Zaganas, 103 1/2,  captured the NABA strawweight title with a unanimous decision over gutsy Stephanie Dobbs, 101 3/4.  Using her movement and jab, Zaganas piled on the points in a 10-round title bout held at The Wyndham Inn in front of a large crowd. Now the Las Vegas resident owns two world title belts including the IFBA.   The judges scored the fight 100-90, 99-91, 98-92 for Zaganas.   Despite the clear-cut win, Zaganas said her opponent had vastly improved.  “She showed me a couple of new things, she is improving,” said Zaganas (16-3, 6 KOs) after the fight. “She has nothing to be ashamed of.”  Dobbs said she practiced many new aspects in the gym but learning them and using them for a title fight was like cramming for a test.   “A lot of stuff is newly learned, I’ve only been at this game for two years,” said Dobbs (10-14-2, 5 KOs), who is managed by her husband Bobby Dobbs. “A lot of it is thinking. Sometimes I do something in the ring and I don’t even know I did it.”  The Oklahoma fighter plans to accumulate more boxing skills and become more instinctive in utilizing some of the subtle points of the game that will make a difference.   “Right now I’m thinking a lot but not doing it naturally,” she said. “I want to do it without thinking.”  Zaganas, a Canadian national and former amateur champion, said her plan was to box aggressively using her strength. One added element to her game was going full steam ahead for all 10 rounds.  “I’m happy about my stamina. It was really good and I got stronger,” said Zaganas, who fought for 10 rounds for the first time. Her previous title fight ended in a technical knockout.   “Vaia was in tremendous shape. She basically out-boxed Stephanie,” said Bobby Dobbs. “She looked real good and I give her credit. I didn’t think she would have the hunger but she did.”   Zaganas credits her newly found energy to a special diet that has helped her overcome her penchant for tiring in the latter rounds. This time she refused to sit down between rounds after the fifth frame.   “Now I know I can be strong the entire distance. I know I can start out strong and stay strong,” she said. “My diet is 100 percent better now.”  Though Dobbs suffered a loss, she was still upbeat about moving ahead and perhaps fighting again for the title soon.  “I am still getting better each time out and feel that my best is yet to come,” Dobbs, 23, said immediately after the fight. “This sport isn't made for quitters. If you can't bear the indignity of losing, then you also can't fully appreciate the thrill of victory.” Dobbs credits her use of head movement and jabs that kept her from getting hit as much as their first fight a year ago. “I made her miss a lot. I caught her with some good shots. I definitely caught her a lot more this time and didn’t get hit a lot this time either,” she said.   Zaganas said she expected the improvements and immediately noticed the difference during the first round.  “I give her credit for coming in really well trained. I could see how she was trying to pick her shots, using defense and using her jab. She improved,” Zaganas, 28, said. “She caught me with one good shot in the first round.” Dobbs said fighting Zaganas again gave her a gauge for her career.  “Congratulations to Vaia Zaganas. A very good fighter who sets the bar for me to reach for,” said Dobbs who will be out of action for approximately six months due to eye surgery. “I will still train and work to be a better fighter so that when I do come back, I will come back with a vengeance.”  The new NABA champion Zaganas plans to jump back in the ring later this month. She also plans to unify the division before moving on to the higher weight class.  “It was a good fight, a crowd pleasing fight,” said Zaganas. “I’d like to fight often if I can.”Report by: Mara Castillon  Dobbs Open Letter about the fight
