Cynthia Talmadge, 5' 4", a featherweight
out of San Francisco, California.
Talmadge has made her pro debut on July 14, 2007, when she fought at
the Civic Auditorium, in San Jose, California. Jenifer
Barber, 124½, won a four-round unanimous decision over Talmadge,
124¼. Final judges scores were 40-36.

Jorge L. Ortiz of the SF Chronicle
wrote the following about Talmadge when she competed in the
amateurs, "Cynthia Talmadge was used to displaying her grace and
agility on a dance floor, not a ring apron. A baseball player and a
ballroom dancer hardly seem like typical candidates to boast the
title of Golden Gloves champions today. But part of the appeal of
the yearly amateur boxing tournament is that fighters from all
backgrounds get a chance at some brief glory, and this year's
edition is no different. Barefield and Talmadge both won close
decisions Saturday night at the Cow Palace to earn their first San
Francisco Golden Gloves championships as the tournament closed out
its 71st run with 13 fights. "In her wildest dreams Talmadge
probably didn't imagine herself sporting a bloody nose -- and
smiling all the while. Rhythm dancing, her principal avocation while
a student at the University of Arizona, rarely results in the
participants wiping blood off their faces. But that's very much what
the 119-pound Talmadge was doing after a ferocious three rounds
against Cleo Chan of King's Gym."
Talmadge needs to contact WBAN, and submit a biography
