Melissa Hernandez: "Fighters Fight"

(DEC 7)
That was the answer Melissa Hernandez snapped out following my
expression of surprise over her recent bout (November 21) with
Layla McCarter in Las Vegas. My feeling stemmed from the fact
that even from several time zones away the match-up, to me, seemed like
the ultimate home court advantage for the hometown fighter and that
wasn't Hernandez. While Melissa agreed that McCarter is certainly more
comfortable fighting in her adopted hometown, Hernandez was steadfast,
"I came to the fight prepared to win. I thought I hurt her a couple of
times and, in the end, the judging was ridiculously..Full

Esparza, Taylor and Shields head AIBA
Rankings in Olympic weight divisions as we enter 2015.
by Michael O'Neill
December 4, 2014 |
(DEC 4) United States duo, Marlen
Esparza and Claressa Shields together with Ireland’s Katie
Taylor end the 2014 AIBA season respective no.1 boxers in the
three Olympic weights. No surprises there for that was to be
expected.
It has to be said though that some of the AIBA ranking decisions
are very debatable and hard for mere mortals like boxers,
coaches and media to understand. Some boxers
in the lists have not won a qualifying event bout for a long
time. Others have seen changes to the number of points they now
hold, which cannot be explained even by the AIBA’s “two year
rolling” system.
