(AUG 24)  WBAN has been busy going through the archives of 22 years, and is publishing many highlights throughout those years of covering men's and women's boxing, and special events.

 

This footage has just been published on YouTube for our Boxing Community.  It featured the weigh-in of the November 20, 2011 fight card, that took place at the Texas Station Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This card featured some excellent female Boxing Bouts on this card. In the video it includes the following:  Victoria Cisneros, Tatina Anderson, Melinda Cooper, Ada Velez, Dahainna Santana, Stacey Reile...with team members including, Melissa Hernandez, Butch Gottlieb, Jake Gutierrez, MC, Sampson Boxing.

It also features men's boxing, and we published the weigh-in on some of the male boxers.

 

At the time of the event, I was very pleased to see so much support from other female boxers, and this is what I wrote at the time:

November 2011: 

 I wanted to write a special report and give recognition to the female boxers who not only were on the boxing card at the Texas Station Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 20th,  but also to the many, MANY other female boxers who came and attended the event to support the "featured" women boxers who were on the card.

First I would like to credit the following women boxers past and present who attended the event:

Secondly, I would like to give respect and credit to the female boxers who took on tough opponents on this card, and made it so exciting for boxing fans as no one could predict the outcome of any of these fights before they entered the ring.

Ada Velez vs. Melinda Cooper
What a war of a fight and one of the best on the card.

Dahiana Santana vs. Stacey Reile
This was actually one of the best, if not the best on the card. The crowd loved this fight, and Reile and Santana put on quite a show, and the boxing fans loved this fight.

TaTina Anderson vs. Victoria Cisneros
An action-packed fight from beginning until the end when this pint-size boxer Anderson stopped Cisneros in the first pro fight in her boxing career.

These women are the new generation of women's' boxing. They "Get it". They have a high level of understanding that being an "Island" in the sport and having the "me" approach as a fighter, is not going to cut it and that networking with other female boxers, and events, and I will have to say networking with WBAN, is going to help make the sport stronger.

I had a great time meeting up with these female fighters----and the camaraderie was so impressive between the women fighting and not fighting on this card, that it made it one of the most enjoyable cards I have covered in a very long time.
