August 27, 2004 - Burbank Hilton Convention Center, Burbank,
California
Fontana’s Heather Percival tangled with Compton’s Tracy
Carlton in a rematch at the Burbank Hilton Convention Center on
Friday. Despite a few notable changes it was the same outcome.
Percival (2-0), looking trimmer at 125 pounds, used a steady stream
of snapping jabs with slick foot movement to keep the stronger
Carlton from setting up her punches. “My corner said she was
going to come after me and to keep my defense tight,” said Percival,
who is trained by Larry Ramirez and son Frank Ramirez. “I used my
jab to set her up.” In the previous fight held several
months ago in Montebello, Carlton (1-5) managed to use her strength
to contain Percival in the corners of the ring while releasing
bludgeoning punches. This time Percival slipped away effortlessly
and left a left hook as a reminder that things had changed.
After four rounds the judges scored it 40-36, 39-37 twice for
Percival. There were no knockdowns. “They called us three days
ago to see if we would fight her,” said Ramirez, who formerly worked
on the 1988 U.S. Olympic boxing team. “We knew what to expect and
they knew what to expect.” The slight change was Percival’s
combination punching and adept movements to get out of range once
she landed her punches. “She sparred a lot with Mariana
Juarez and Rhonda Luna,” said Ramirez of the junior bantamweight and
featherweight contenders out of Southern California. “She really
picked up a lot.” Percival, quickly nodded in agreement that
sparring with the two ring savvy female fighters added to her
arsenal. “You can’t help but learn more when you spar
against those girls,” said Percival. Despite a five-pound
weight advantage, Carlton was unable to penetrate Percival’s defense
set up by a stinging jab. “We knew she was overweight but we
didn’t care,” said Percival. “I’m looking forward to my next fight.”

August 27, 2004 - Chicago,
Illinois
Elizabeth Kerin, 3-0-1, stepped up to the plate and fought
Kathy Rivers,
now 13-4-2, in a slugfest that ended in a four-round draw at the
Ramada Hotel. Rivers took the fight on two days notice after Kerin,
with the help of
Bonnie Canino
challenged Rivers to fly to Chicago for the fight. Rivers, who
fights Leatitia Robinson next month was ready and both women weighed
in at 176 pounds. Rivers and Kerin were well matched and
content to keep the fight inside for the better part of four rounds.
Kerin was able to use her jab effectively in the first stanza, but
Rivers tried to smother it during the last three rounds with several
sharp uppercuts. Rivers and Kerin fought evenly along the ropes, but
Referee Pete Podgorski stepped in on the infighting before any
damage could be inflicted. After the fight, both fighters said
they'd like to fight again and judging from the crowd reaction, this
would be an excellent rematch. Kerin wanted to step up her
career in her fourth pro fight and battle a contender. It has been
problematic for promoter Bobby Hitz to find good competition in the
light-heavies division for Kerin to fight. Kerin got on the phone
and called Canino who said Rivers was available and willing to
fight. After the fight, Rivers added, "Hey, I'm a fighter and even
though I had not heard of her (Kerin) I took the fight because it
allows me to keep busy in prep for my fight next month with
Robinson. After that fight, I'd like to do a rematch with Kerin."
Kerin agreed she'd fight Rivers again, but before the year is out
Kerin has her goal set on fighting
Valerie Mahfood
and/or
Vonda Ward.

August 21, 2004 -
Ciudad Obregón, Mexico
Less than five weeks since the donnybrook in Quérataro that had
spectators throwing money into the ring, Jazmín Rivas of
Torreón (Coahuila) and Martha Leticia Arévalo of Guadalajara
(Jalisco) did it again last night in Ciudad Obregón — this time for
the Mexican bantamweight title — and once again, Martha Leticia
showed great courage in the face of a remorseless pounding from the
seventeen-year-old. As in the first fight, Rivas had no difficulty
in imposing her style, landing the heavier blows and winning clearly
on the scorecards of all three judges (100-93, 99-91, 100-93) but
without breaking the spirit of the Guadalajaran, and once again, the
talent of the one and the courage of the other were applauded loudly
at the end of each round. Report by Ewan Whyte

August 14, 2004 - at the Sports

of Watsonville, California, remains undefeated with 6-0-0 (2KO),
when she won a six-round unanimous decision over Maribel Ocasio
Soto, 112, of Puerto Rico, now 4-8-2 (0KO). According to Jesus
Sanchez, Carina Moreno won a unanimous six round decision over
Maribel Ocasio-Soto in Salinas on Saturday night. Maribel was
overmatched and constantly held Carina throughout the fight.
Surprisingly the referee did not warn Maribel or deduct any points
for the constant holding! Carina landed her straight right almost at
will but there were no knockdowns. All three judges scored the fight
60-54 for Carina.

August 13, 2004- Temecula, California
It was experience against power and once again smarts won out. Kelsey Jeffries used her high-powered offense to blitz through six rounds in
a non-title fight over San Antonio's powerful Melissa Yanas (3-3, 2 KOs) at
the Pechanga Resort and Casino on Friday. The fight was not televised by
ESPN.
From the first round on, Jeffries bewildered Yanas with non-stop aggression
that included punches to the body and head.
Though Yanas took the brunt of the blows, she never seemed hurt but was
unable to land more than one punch at a time. Jeffries marched in with her
two-fisted attack and forced referee Raul Caiz Jr. to call a knockdown on
Yanas in the third round.
Yanas seemed more determined the next round to step her own attack and
landed a solid uppercut but received a stunning right hand almost
simultaneously. That became the theme of the fight with Yanas landing a
solid right and Jeffries coming back with several more.
"It wasn't my best fight out there," said Jeffries (28-8) of Gilroy,
California. "She did a lot of holding and she was awkward."
At times it seemed Yanas wanted to kick Jeffries and lifted her knee up a
few inches before dropping it back down to the floor.
But though Jeffries landed numerous punches, Yanas withstood them all and
seemed unfazed.
"She was a little strong in there," said Jeffries of Yanas. "She'll do
better with someone else."
But for now, experience proved too much. Jeffries will be fighting for
the IBA featherweight title next. Report by Mara Castillon
