February 28, 2004 -
Memorial Field House, in Huntington, West Virginia
At this rate, there isn’t going to be much hardware left in
the middleweight division. Chicago’s Leatitia Robinson
outworked and outskilled hometowner Nikki Eplion to
score an easy unanimous decision Saturday night to collect her
second world championship belt in as many months -- this one
the WIBA version -- getting the nod on all three scorecards by
99-91, 98-92 and 97-93. The pair entered the evening’s main
attraction with a combined record of 24-0-2, with 16
knockouts, and most women’s ratings organizations have them as
the top two ranked boxers in the division. But an anticipated
slugfest never materialized as Eplion spent much
of the bout holding and retreating
from Robinson’s classier attack. "I’ve been waiting a whole
year for this," said "Baby Girl" Robinson, who clearly had no
love lost against her 25 year-old opponent who predicted a
third round KO at the weigh in. Robinson won her first belt in
December, 2002, with a sixth-round stoppage of Dakota Stone,
and had her first successful defense of that IWBF title just
last month in decisioning Yvonne Reis. "We tried to
fight Nikki Eplion last year and when our people talked to her
people they said she wasn’t ready, she needed a few more
fights, " said Robinson, 23. "So I was going to wait until
whenever she was ready because I knew I could beat her. And I
knew that she could not beat me no matter how much she said
she could." Robinson, on top of her unblemished mark as
a pro, also had 38 fights in an amateur career that started at
age 14. Eplion is a graduate of the Appalachian Toughwoman
circuit, a difference in backgrounds that become quickly
evident early in the fight. It was clearly a huge step up in
competition for the South Point, Ohio, resident, who’s best
career wins came last August, an eight round decision over
veteran Mary Ann Almager, and a four-round decision against
Yvonne Reis last June. "She gave me exactly what I
expected from her, nothing," Robinson said. "She basically
didn’t have any love for me when she told me she was going to
knock me out and this was going to be the worst beating of my
life. I wanted to show her you are not a boxer, you’re a
toughman, and when you become a boxer, that’s when you can get
in the ring and discuss something with me." Eplion, who
was more no attack than the moniker No Slack embroidered on
her purple trunks, did not speak with any media after the
fight, and disappointed many fans who waited until well after
midnight to try to offer their encouragement. Manager Ken
Artrip noted that Eplion is a single mother of two children
who also works two jobs, and that she could not get any time
off before the fight to fully and properly prepare. "She was
worn out," before she ever got in the ring, he indicated. "We
had a little setback, but she’ll still go on," according to
Eplion’s trainer Charlie Hanshaw. "We knew what was coming. I
told everybody this would be a tough fight." There were
no knockdowns, and neither fighter appeared seriously hurt at
any point of the fight, which was delayed after a late
decision changing from twelve ounce to ten ounce gloves. The
partisan crowd of some 800 at Huntington’s Veteran’s Memorial
Fieldhouse tried to spark their local hero with frequent
chants of "Nikki, Nikki,", but it didn’t effect Robinson in
the least. "No, not at all," Robinson said. "We were able to
box and beat her to the punch every time, make her miss, make
her get frustrated by going from side to side, switching all
the time. We wanted to do that and that’s what I did."
Robinson has her sights set on Shrivelle William’s and Valerie
Mahfood as potential future opponents, she indicated.
February 28, 2004 - Warrior's
Production at the Coconut Creek Seminole Indian Casino,
Florida
Belinda Laracuente, 135, won an eight-round
unanimous decision over Iva Weston, 139.5, from
Trinidad. The fight had little action as Weston ran the whole
time and threw hardly any punches at Laracuente. Laracuente
was the aggressor in the match, and wanted to mix it up, with
Laracuente throwing the cleaner shots. In one round the
referee pulled both girls to the center of the ring and told
them to box. Weston's inexperience as a boxer showed during
the whole fight. Weston had good defense, but no offense and
no power on any of her punches and did not want to mix it up.
Laracuente was coming off a serious injury from the summer,
and had to change her style of boxing and was happy that she
could be back in the ring. Final judges scores was
79-73, 79-73, 78-74. In a second women's boxing
match, Laura "Lady Ram" Ramsey, 158,
won all four rounds against Jennifer Mancil, 160.
Judges score 40-36. Lady Ram hit Mancil in the first round,
and it seem Mancil did not want to be there. By the end of the
2nd round Lady Ram broke Mancil's nose. Mancil took Punishment
from Lady Ram the whole fight, but Lady Ram could not knock
her out. The crowd was pleased on this fight of the night.

Kudlichgasse
Tasheena
Bugar, 126 1/4, knocked out her opponent Laura Stefanescu, 134,
in the beginning of the sixth round with a devastating right jab that
found a home to Stefanescu's chin. Stefanescu immediately collapsed and
fell to the canvas. The ringside doctor spent five minutes with Stefanescu
after being KO’d with Bugar’s devastating punch. Bugar dominated her
opponent who was two weight class divisions higher than her. Bugar is found
to be an extremely gifted boxer, and at only 16 years old has already
accumulated a professional boxing record of 4-0-0 (3KO). Tasheena is a big
talent and definitely a boxer to be on the look out for in the future!
February 28, 2004 - Aalborg,

in favour of Matheus. It was a very action-packed bout where
skills defeated aggression.
February 27, 2004 - The Orleans
Casino and Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada
Using speed and combinations Melinda Cooper pounded out a win
against the tough Jerri Sitzes.
Before more than 700 people at the Orleans Casino and Hotel, Cooper (10-0, 6
KOs) opened up quickly against the taller Sitzes with stiff jabs and
three-punch combinations.
The first two rounds saw Cooper dominating the Missouri fighter while
eluding Sitzes' counters with ease. Using long right hands and left uppercut
hooks, Cooper scored repeatedly with little worry about return shots.
"I thought I was dominating her with my jab," said Cooper, who bloodied
Sitzes' nose in the first round and caused a slight swelling over the left
eye. "I thought I might be able to knock her out in the second but I lost
it."
But in the third round, Sitzes began timing Cooper's advances
with her own well-timed rights and lefts, stinging Cooper occasionally and
advancing forward against the Las Vegas fighter for the first time in the
fight.
"I wasn't hurt at all," said Cooper whose nose was bloodied in the round.
Sitzes scored with a left hook and a right uppercut and seemed to win the
round.
The fourth round saw Cooper open up with a big right hand followed by a
snapping left hook. But in close quarters, Cooper grabbed her opponent's
head and hit her with three quick shots. The referee deducted a point from
Cooper for the illegal tactic.
"I was wrong for doing it," said Cooper, who is a niece of former
lightweight world champion from Mexico Miguel Angel Gonzalez. "It's a bad
habit I have."
With Sitzes more accustomed to Cooper's speed, the Missouri fighter who beat
Mary Ortega in her last fight by technical knockout, began to trade more
frequently and with precision. Cooper traded blow for blow with the game
fighter.
"I think my jab was the difference in the fight," said Cooper who was most
effective when backing up the Springfield fighter.
In the final round, Cooper opened up with combinations and snapped Sitzes
head back several times with several long rights. At one moment. Sitzez put
her hands down while along the ropes and ate two solid punches. But she was
unhurt and tried to rally.
"She was a good fighter," said Cooper. "This was the first time I went six
rounds."
Bobby Estella, one of her cornermen, said she could improve on some aspects.
"I think she could have been more aggressive," Estella said. "But sometimes
you can be too aggressive and you can get caught."
The judges scored the decision 59-55 twice and 58-54 for Cooper who feels
she is just beginning.
"I think my advantage is my youth and amateur experience," Cooper said,
adding that she spent seven years as an amateur.
"She could have gone 12 rounds easy," said Doug Ward another cornerman of
Cooper.

event
Main event covered by Tomoko of Japan: He wrote the
following, "Japan Mini-Fly Weight champion, Yuko Sodeoka
won the title with a six-round TKO over the southpaw Gypsy
Taeko. Champion Sodeoka had to defeat at least three
challengers in order to be eligible to challenge the World
title. Taeko, the first one to challenge Sodeoka, has been the
tough rival for the champ since their bout last summer when
they fought for the vacant Japan Mini-Fly weight title. Since
Sodeoka struggled to win the title in the last bout, winning
over Gypsy tonight was also settling a clear conclusion for
Sodeoka. In the first and second rounds, Sodeoka
utilized quick jabs to keep Gypsy out of her reach. Gypsy on
the other hand, waited for a good opportunity between the
short punches to fight against it by firing one big left hook.
By the third and fourth round, Sodeoka began to control
the rhythm and distance, and she attacked Gypsy with
combinations, especially throwing right straights landing
repeatedly on Gypsy’s body. There were times when Gypsy kept
Sodeoka backing up in the corner and against the ropes, but
Sodeoka skillfully got out of the position by using right and
left short punches and with foot works. In the fifth round,
they both didn’t hesitate to get into an aggressive
in-fighting. Gypsy tried to attack Sodeoka with a single heavy
left hook at the moment when Sodeoka slightly stepped back
from fighting from the inside. However, Sodeoka’s number of
short punches on Gypsy’s face and body overwhelmed her as she
attempted to attack Sodeoka with one big punch, which none
were effective enough against the champion. In the
6th round, Sodeoka’s right straights repeatedly caught
Gypsy’s face and finally landed her on the canvas. Though
Gypsy got up, referee stopped the fight in 1:41 seconds of the
sixth round. Sodeoka is now 8-2-0. Gypsy is 5-5-4.

February 21, 2004 - Linden,
Guyana
Pamela London won an eight-round unanimous decision
over Shondell Parks to win the Guyana Women's
Heavyweight Title. These two started swinging at each
other when the ref brought them to the ring center for
pre-fight instructions! The 300-pound Parks started out
quickly but as the fight progressed, the 199-pound London took
over, snapping Parks head back with jabs and right hands.
Parks lost two points from the ref for holding behind the head
and hitting. London is now 2-1-1 (0) and Parks is 1-1 (0).
Final judges scores were 79-72, 78-73 and 80-70.
Excerpt of the Starbroek News in Guyana reported the
following: "Pamela `The Grenade' London proved that
size is not all when she exploded against previously unbeaten
`Dyna-mite' Shondell Parks to become the first woman to
win the heavyweight title of Guyana. Showing total
disregard for Parks' imposing 300-plus pound structure,
London, who at 198 pounds was out-weighed 105 pounds by her
opponent, surprised both Parks and the Linden crowd with her
swiftness and aggression to win the eight-round contest by
unanimous decision. Parks, at a lost to find an answer
for London's mongoose-like antics, and a shade too slow, was
hit almost at will with thunderous right crosses resulting in
a huge swelling on the left side of her face. The two
female gladiators went at it even before the bell to signal
the start of the first round was sounded. Called together by
referee Michael Benjamin to touch gloves a squabble soon
ensued between the fighters with the referee thrown around
like a rag doll in the centre. Parks wasn't helped by the two
points deducted in rounds five and eight by Benjamin for
persistent holding.

February 19, 2004 - Palace Indian Gaming Center in Lemoore, California
Jessica
Rakoczy won a 10-round unanimous decision over Lisa
“Lil Warrior” Lewis and is now the new IBA Lightweight
World Champion. Steve Cummings of InTheCorner.net reported
the following: “Jessica Rakoczy returned to the ring Thursday
night after a 13-month layoff that included an auto accident
that left her unable to fight. If there were any questions
about how Jessica would be able to recover from the layoff and
injury, there aren’t anymore. Rakoczy put on a dazzling
display of skills against Lisa Lewis at The Palace Indian
Gaming Center in
Lemoore, CA to notch a
unanimous 10-round decision and win the IBA lightweight
championship. The Rakoczy-Lewis matchup was the main event of
the Hard Road To Glory show that also saw a victory by rising
junior welterweight star Oscar Diaz in the co-main event.
George Chung’s American Champion Sports and The Palace
promoted the seven-bout show. Rakoczy (13-1) finally made her
ring return after suffering her first loss to Jenifer Alcorn
in January of 2003 and came out of her corner with both guns
blazing. A powerful right hand in the early going knocked
Lewis (6-8) sideways before she landed on the canvas. Lewis
got up from her first professional knockdown but Rakoczy was
back to the attack immediately. The second round saw Jessica
tag Lisa with a powerful right hand that hurt the
Fresno
fighter. As the round wore on, however, Lewis started to find
her way inside the long arms of Rakoczy to at least stem the
tide of powerful shots that had been steady since the opening
bell. For the duration of the fight, Lewis worked diligently
to get inside while Rakoczy did her level best to keep her
opponent on the end of her long-range power shots. While Lewis
was able to close the gap better as the fight wore on,
Rakoczy’s skills were just too sharp and allowed the Las Vegas
fighter to dictate the action until the final bell. Scores
were 99-90, 100-89 and 100-89, all for Jessica Rakoczy.”
In one of the first bouts of the evening the card featured an
undercard four-rounder between Tania Gomez vs.
Nicole Beard. Cummings reported the following, “In the
first female bout of the evening, lightweights Tania Gomez and
Nicole Beard locked horns in an entertaining four-round battle
with Gomez earning a unanimous decision. The southpaw Gomez
landed consistently with her power shots throughout and had
Beard’s nose bleeding steadily over the last two rounds. Beard
came out strong at the opening bell, throwing combinations as
she pressed her opponent. Tania, who had IFBA featherweight
champion Kelsey Jeffries working her corner, used movement to
avoid the rush and then began to work her way in with her own
attack. A chopping left hand repeatedly found the mark as
Gomez controlled the fight. Official scores were 39-37, 40-36,
39-37, all for Gomez.” Gomez is now 3-1-0, and Beard is 1-8.
Also in attendance was Mia “The Knockout” St. John.
St. John challenged Rakoczy for the IBA belt, and it looks like they
will be fighting on
April 15,
2004!
February 16, 2004 - Double
Tree Hotel, Ontario, California, and Promoted by Thompson
Boxing
On the undercard, Marilyn Salcido won a six-round
unanimous decision over Carla Wilcox. One
WBAN insider reported the following: Using a jab
and firing combinations, Salcido struggled through the
peek-a-boo style of Wilcox who launched winging rights
throughout the six round fight held at the Doubletree Hotel
before a standing room only crowd.
"She was awkward," said Salcido, who had some slight mouses
under her eyes. "I had never seen her fight so my corner told
me to take it easy the first round to see what she has."
Wilcox fired right hands every time Salcido threw a punch and
at times connected. But mostly her punches never landed flush.
The sound of the winging rights landed mostly on Salcido's
shoulders or gloves but the sound effects seemed to fool the
crowd, not the judges. Her trainer Bob Davison
advised to move to Wilcox's left and to fire more jabs. It
proved to be the difference in the fight as Salcido used the
jab to keep Wilcox at bay then would fire quick combinations
and get out. The judges scored the fight 58-56, 60-54,
59-55 for Salcido.
"It was difficult coming in without a fight for a long time. I
didn't feel right," said Salcido. "She was a very tough
fighter.
The Rialto fighter who trains in Big Bear said she would like
a fight with Elena Reid or Para Draine.
Another Insider wrote to WBAN after the fight and
said, "Six rounds Carla kept Marilyn backing up, in the corner
and against the ropes. As they called the judges decisions to
give it to Marilyn the crowd roared with disagreement even if
this was their hometown girl they knew the real winner
tonight. What happened in Ontario tonight is shameful and
gives the sport such a bad flavor. Anyone that was in the
crowd tonight or for that matter in the ring knows Carla won
this every round." In attendance was Mariana Juarez who hopes
to fight on March 14 at the Pechanga Resort and Casino. The
fight card is promoted by Goossen-Tutor Promotions and will be
televised by Fox Sports Net. Ben Lira, who trains Jaurez,
said they are looking for a suitable opponent including
Salcido, Reid or Bridgett Riley.

Frida Wallberg, 130, Sweden, making her pro debut,
TKO2 Maribel Santana, 130 3/4, when after the
first round Santana did not come out in the second round after
complaining about impaired
vision. Wallberg, 20 years
old, is definitely a boxer to be on the lookout. She is light
on her feet, displayed some solid boxing skills, and had a
good
quick jab. In a second
women's bout, another pro debuter
Alexandra Matheus, 124 3/4, of Denmark won a
four-round unanimous decision (40-36) over last-minute
opponent Petra Jachmanov, 124 3/4, of Slovakia, who was
ALSO making her pro debut. Jachmanov got to the fight
just two hours before the event took place. Matheus
original opponent Marlin Hernandez
did not make the fight.
