(JAN 28) Last night at the
Avalon, in Hollywood, California, in the main event, super
middleweight Maricela Cornejo, 158, won an eight-round
unanimous decision over Erin Toughill, 158¾ (according to the
three judges scoring the bout 79-73, 79-73, and 78-74.)
But were those scores nearly correct?
The bout was well-matched, and
very competitive to give props to both Cornejo and Toughill.
Toughill returned to professional boxing after having 13 plus
years away from this sport--- having her last pro fight in
August of 2005.
According to some of the boxing
fans, and media folks---it was said by most that the bout was
leaning toward Toughill being ahead in this eight rounder with
some scoring the fight 78-74 for Toughill.
Cornejo improved her record to
13-3-0 (5KO), and Toughill is now 7-4-1 (0KO).
