You Can't Always Get What You Want
By Bernie McCoy
December 14, 2004 |
(DEC 14) Fans of the sport of Women's
boxing wanted a carbon copy of the first Jane Couch/Jaime
Clampitt bout to cap off what had been a rather desultory year
for the sport. CES Boxing and the IWBF wanted a return bout of
the best fight each organization had staged this year, when
Couch narrowly outpointed Clampitt over ten action packed rounds
in June. Englishwoman Jane Couch ..[Archived]

Torres destroys
Rosales
By Ewan Whyte
December 11, 2004 |
(DEC 11) Topping the bill in front of a
packed house in Ciudad Nezahualcoyotl (Mexico), Ana María
Torres moved a step closer to the world bantamweight title
last night when Golden Gloves champion Yadira Rosales of
Mexico City failed to answer the bell for the sixth round. With
an animated crowd in the Salón Marbet Plus in Ciudad
Nezahualcoyotl (Méjico) urging her on, local girl Torres got on
top of Rosales at the start and never let up, using her skill
and greater experience to wicked effect. Torres has excellent
technique and hits hard. As was the case last March when she
stopped Lakeysha Williams in the fourth, it was her
opponent’s face that got the worst of it. By the time she
retired between the fifth and six rounds, Rosales’s mouth was a
mess and had begun to hemorrhage.

Clampitt and Olson
Fight
to a draw
By KEN CASTRO
December 11, 2004 |
(DEC 11) MASANTUCKET, CT--For nearly a
year, four-time junior welterweight world title challenger Eliza
Olson lobbied for a rematch with former belt holder Jamie
Clampitt. Rough edges remained from their last matchup, a
Clampitt razor-thin victory back in October of 2003. It came as
no surprise then that Olson (San Francisco, CA) jumped at the
chance to return east, to Foxwoods Casino and take another shot
at Clampitt, this time for the vacant IWBF ...[archived]

Ward Stops
Valley!
December
11, 2004 |
(DEC 11) Last night at the Gund Arena, in
Cleveland, Ohio, Vonda Ward,
185, of Ohio, stopped Marsha Valley of Los Angeles, CA,
with knocking Valley down twice on to the canvas, and stopping
her 1:47 seconds in the fourth round by TKO. Ward and Valley
were fighting a scheduled 10-round non-title fight in the
cruiserweight division. According to news sources, Ward
effectively used her jab, and dominated Valley from the opening
belt. In the fourth round, Ward landed a lead left-overhand
right combination to drop Valley for the first time. Valley beat
the count and continued to fight, but Ward quickly got her back
on the ropes with a barrage of combinations. When Valley
dropped down to her knee, the referee saw fit to stop
the match.
