(JAN 29) On Saturday night
(Jan. 27) at the Sofia Hall, in Sofia, Bulgaria, Borislava
Goranova, 152½, now 11-52-3 (0KO), of Sofia, took on a pro
debuter, Liliya Simova, 150¼, of Bulgaria, with Goranova
winning by a four-round unanimous decision. Final judges
scores were 37-40, 36-40, and 36-40.
Now one might be inquisitive as
to how someone with 65 pro fights under their belt, even with
the many losses, a true veteran of the sport fighting
since 2000, would be matched up with a female boxer that has
never had one fight as a pro. Apparently, this was allowed
in Sofia, Bulgaria, according to Boxrec that reported that
Goranova, not only was the promoter of the event, but the
matchmaker...does conflict of interest ring a bell, excusing the
pun?
In addition to Goranova fighting 65 pro bouts since the year
2000 she has fought for world titles, and one International
title, going 10 rounds with other opponents...SO .how does
one get matched up with a pro debuter after 64 plus fights?
ONLY the boxing folks in Bulgaria can answer that one.
