September 29, 2001 - Hamburg, Germany
The WIBF World Junior Bantamweight title fight between Daisy Lang and
Michelle Sutcliffe came to an end in Hamburg tonight when Lang failed to
answer the bell for the 8th round because of a bad gash over her left eye.
However, because the injury was held to have resulted from a clash of heads,
the fight went to the cards and Lang was declared the unanimous winner
(68-66; 67-66; 68-66). One boxing fan, Jon Fox, said, "I have two
problems with this. Firstly, it is correct that there was a meeting of heads
early in round 7 but no blood was in evidence until late in the round after
Sutcliffe had landed in the area of Lang's left eye with at least 3 good
overhead rights. Secondly, at the end of round 7, I
had Sutcliffe winning by 69-66." Another boxing fan said, "There
has just been a robbery in Germany. Daisy Lang was deemed by the ringside
doctor, to not be able to continue, because of a cut caused by her opponents
punches, YET Lang did NOT lose. In fact she was given the decision because
she was ahead on points. She WON. What a fix!" Lang fell to 14-1-1
and Sutcliffe fell to 5-6-0.

:38 seconds, Kelly Whaley in a scheduled
four rounder.
Whaley wrote on the Boxing Rumble Forum, "First, a short comment on
last nights fight with Marsha Valley. She started fast and quickly scored on
three fast, not powerful but fast blows which resulted in the ref responding
with an eight count. I was not hurt and was by no means "seeing
stars" and had been in worst situations on other occasions. The ref
asked me if I wanted to continue and I, of course, said yes. The ref stepped
away and Bill stopped the fight. I totally disagreed with his action but he
is my corner and husband so I respect his decision. Congratulations to
Marsha. If I had to describe her in one word, it would be...Tornado."

USA Women's National Boxing Championships ..By Bonnie Canino (retired IFBA
World Champion)
One Hundred and sixty five competitors had
pre-registered for the USA Women's National Boxing Championships, but only
fifty-one women showed for the event. This was the first time since
the Nationals been going on that there has been such a small turn out.
We think it was due to the recent attack on America in New York and
Washington D.C. The women who showed up were very determined to make
this amateur boxing event. The event was especially important to the
USA Boxing organization, because this was the first year that winners from
the Women's National will qualified to attend the first Continental Games in
October and the World games in November, which should have around
thirty-eight countries entering their women boxers.

Anita Christensen fought a six-rounder against Damaris
Muthoni.
The fight ended in a unanimous decision with Christensen walking away the
winner. Final scoring was 60-54, 60-54 & 60-53. News sources
reported that Anita Christensen was in control throughout the six rounds, although some ring rust was evident,
after her forced inactivity due to having surgery to her right hand had kept
her out of the ring. Damaris Muthoni, showed a lot of grittiness
and willing to go toe-to-toe with Christiansen. Muthoni's powerful
right hand remained dangerous throughout the fight. There were no
knockdowns in the fight, although Christiansen slipped in the second round,
after being wrestled to the floor by Muthoni. Muthoni did receive a
standing eight-count in the sixth round, but was able to weather the storn
until the final bell. Christensen improved her undefeated record to
8-0-0 (5KO), and Muthoni dropped to
2-3. Anita Christensen, who holds the European Bantamweight title, plans to
fight twice in both October and November. Her goal is to fight for a world championship after these tune up fights.

September 7, 2001 at the Raddisson Hotel,
in Sacramento, California
Eliza Olson (granddaughter of Bo Bo Olson) wasted little time in
going after her opponent, Robyn Covino. According to
Boxingtalk.net Ron Heard who covered the fight ringside, he said,
"Eliza came out very hard and caught Covino with a nice left hook right in
the middle of an exchange by the two ladies that sent Covino to the canvass at about 30 seconds into the
first round. Covino got up and they went right back at it. Olson appeared
to be confident and controlled the fight, over-powering Covino by throwing
many combinations." Ron went on to say, " Covino was game,
she tried to trade back but she just was getting caught with clean hooks and
she went down the second time at :58 seconds into the first round and it was
over. Clearly the best fight through the first four fights was
the women."

who herself succeeded in knocking Leona down three times en route to a
six-round decision the first time they met. But this time, Lisa, who trains
in Toronto under the tutletage of Mike Doesberg and husband Errol, boxed her
