(MAR 29) Cindy Serrano and Fatuma Zarika battled to a six round
draw in the co-main event of New Legend's sixteenth International Fight
Night, a nine bout card Saturday night at Resorts World Casino in the
borough of Queens, in the city of New York. The three judges' scorecards
reflected, accurately, just how close the bout was: Jim Pierce had it
58-56, Serrano, Ron McNair 58-56, Zarika and Robin Taylor accentuated
the evenness of the bout with a 57-57 count. Those are essentially the
basic facts of the penultimate bout of the evening, but the back story

Jill Morley Continues To "FIGHT LIKE
A GIRL"! Meet the Boxer, Filmmaker & Advocate
By Michele Chong
March 19, 2015 |
(MAR 19) Amateur boxer, trainer, manager, writer, actress, filmmaker
Jill Morley is many things. A former "Go-Go Girl" in New Jersey, a
victim of childhood abuse and a female fighter in the male-dominated
sport of boxing, this pretty redhead has overcome a lot of obstacles, to
say the least. She is petite yet powerful. She can seem quiet and
reserved from the sidelines before becoming a formidable beast in the
ring. She is feminine and ultra "girly" outside the ropes but all fire
and fury on the canvas.
