In Higuey, Dominican Republic, in
a six-rounder between Diana Collado, with a 15-37-0 record going
into the fight against Jenna Gaglioti, with a 4-1-0 record.
Not real impressed with the huge difference in boxing
experience, and the ultimate result was Gaglioti winning by a
unanimous decision. Just another questionable thought on
this records site that
BoxRec will not list certain fights of boxers with only their
own opinion, where those boxers had much better records
going into a fight, and yet they count this ridiculous fights
that make it as sanctioned bouts... Makes no sense. Check
out these
crazy matchups that make it on the record.
