(DEC 22) It is time to think about what would make Women’s Boxing “Hot” for the year 2008. This is only a “Wish List” and unfortunately reality is that many of these fights will never take place, and/or the boxers who were missing in action, just may not return to the sport---but anyone can have a wish list! First off, we would like to see some of the following fights take place that we feel would be a “Wish List” for not only WBAN, but boxing fans.
