(JULY 13) In my first article,
I analyzed the
heavyweight division of the professional women's boxing in
the sport today. Next, let's shift our focus to the super
middleweight division in women's boxing. I'll be taking a closer
look at the talented group of professional female boxers

various sources, including the extensive coverage of this
division by WBAN over the years. Here are the top ten, a very lean list of females
