ARLINGTON, TX
— Most Valuable Promotions delivered a historic boxing event at
the College Park Center on Sunday night, presenting MVPW-07—an
all-female championship showcase, that on these bouts,
unified crowns, and a legendary performance by one of the
sport's pound-for-pound greats.
In the night's highly anticipated main event, Alycia
Baumgardner (133.8 lbs) cemented her legacy by moving up in
weight to challenge the undefeated Turkish champion
Elif Nur Turhan (134.6 lbs) for the IBF Lightweight World
Championship.
From the opening bell, Baumgardner put on a spectacular,
high-level tactical display that completely neutralized Turhan’s
vaunted power.
"The Bomb" asserted her dominance early, dramatically hammering Turhan
with crisp, piercing power punches that immediately set the
tempo. While Turhan attempted to answer back with wild,
over-swung hooks, her reckless aggression played directly into
the Baumgardner's hands.
WBAN was very impressed by this non-top action bout between
Baumgardner and Turhan. Looks like their just may be a new
queen in town as one of the best fighters in the sport right
now!!
A huge congratulations to Baumgardner, and is very impressed
with how she tactically perform with Turhan.
Baumgardner beautifully controlled the distance, picking the
champion apart with razor-sharp counter-punching and elite ring
generalship. It was a statement performance from Baumgardner,
validation for her daring leap to 135 pounds, and a definitive
claim to two-division glory.
The
final judges' scores for Alycia Baumgardner's fight against Elif
Nur Turhan were a clean sweep, with all three judges scoring the
bout 100-90.
Ali Unifies;
Nicolson Rules Promotional Debut
The co-main event featured a world championship bout for the
vacant WBO and IBF Super Bantamweight Titles. Ramla Ali
(121.2 lbs) edged out Mikiah Kreps (122 lbs) via a
tightly contested split decision (97-92, 96-93, 91-98). It was a
true tale of two halves; Kreps found significant success on one
scorecard with heavy, unrelenting pressure, but Ali’s cleaner
output, supreme accuracy, and brilliant late-round adjustments
ultimately secured her the unified crowns.
Earlier on the main card, Skye Nicolson (121.4 lbs) won a
ten-round unanimous decision in her promotional debut with MVP,
pitching a near-shutout against former three-time, two-division
champion Miyo Yoshida (120.6 lbs). Nicolson won with
judges scores of (100-90, 99-91, 98-92) to retain her WBC
Super Bantamweight World Championship.
In a bout that proved "Age is just a Number"
In an 115-pound unification bout, Mexico's Irma Garcia
proved to be too precise and relentless for Panama's Nataly
Delgado, capturing a unanimous decision (97-92 x3) to unify
the IBF and WBA Super Flyweight Championships. Garcia at the
ripe ole' age of 45, proved that "Age is just a number."
Rounding out the main card, prospect Albina Moldazhanova
delivered the night's most explosive finish, stopping Kirstie
Bavington via a devastating knockout just 44 seconds into
the fourth round of their lightweight bout.
