Punchers Chance
By Bernie McCoy
April 13, 2004 |
(APR 13) One of the great things about sports is that's its a part of life
where "you can do something about yesterday, tomorrow". This is especially
true of boxing, the most redemptive of sports; boxing can change from bout
to bout, round to round, punch to punch....a fighter is deemed to always
have a "puncher's chance". The fact is, in boxing, you just have to keep

Rylik is champion again! |
(APR 12) On Saturday evening (April 10) at the
MEN Arena, in Manchester, Agnieszka Rylik of Polish Boxing
Promotion fought American Eliza Olson. The women boxers fought
for both the vacant WIBO Junior Welterweight world title and Rylik's
WIBF junior welterweight title. The bout was qualitative and balanced as
well. Rylik's jabs were dominating the match but the Olson was better in in
close fighting and her uppercuts were very dangerous. At the beginning of
the match, Rylik was dominant, however in the middle of the
fight Olson, succeeded in taking charge. In the end Rylik was able to take
on the match again because of her stamina. When the fight ended, both boxers
believed to be the winner. On the cards Rylik was the victorious (98-94,
98-94, and 97-94) however in my opinion 97-94 was the most objective.
