(JUNE 14) When I was in New
Mexico this last week on Friday night [June 10], after the Holly
Holm vs. Victoria Cisneros fight that took place at the Route 66
Casino Hotel in Albuquerque, I got an opportunity to spend some
time with Stephanie "Golden Girl" Jaramillo from the South
Valley in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
For some of you that may not know her, Jaramillo retired from
professional boxing a few years back---but not before having a
very successful amateur boxing career, and fighting the very
best females in the sport. She fought Holly Holm twice,
with the first fight losing by a majority decision and the
second fight went to a draw. [Her
Full Biography]
Jaramillo also fought the most feared female at the time in the
sport Sumya Anani, with only an eight-day notice when Anani's
original opponent had visa problems. Jaramillo also
rematched with Anani in 2004.
Jaramillo at the ripe "young" age of 29, has been mulling it
over to come out of retirement. Of course, I did quite a
bit of prodding to convince her that it would be extremely cool
to see her return to the sport---and have a trilogy match with
Holm (chuckle).
Jaramillo "seems" keen on the idea, and we WILL see if she
seriously decides to return to the ring and take care of some
unfinished business---Regardless--it's a great shameless rumor!
