(DEC 15) Sugar and Spice aside, on December 14th, Maureen “Moe” Shea once again stepped into the Grand Ballroom to test her self-defense reflexes against Rocio Vazquez. Not serving dainty-dish Angel food this Thursday night, Maureen fired up the barbecue.

Spectators got a mouthful of straight-up boxing during the first two rounds of this scheduled six-round jr. lightweight bout. Though Vazquez did some cooking of her own, weaving and scoring some blows, Maureen clearly pressed her throughout this pounding match.

But early in round three, the head chef turned up the kitchen heat, Chili pepper hot, hand speed, the flicker of flames off charcoal, Shea repeatedly landed solid, powerful, all meat and potato hard lefts and rights to Rocia’s head causing the referee to stop the fight.

For fight fans, tonight’s TKO menu included some fine New York boxing, dessert served, Bronx Apple pie ala “Moe.”
