to caution both girls for excessive holding, pushing and
hitting on the break.Resplendent in the national red, black
and white colours, Salandy was a hit from her dressing room to
the ring, exciting the crowd with her left jab and dazzling
footwork a la Muhammad Ali. In the sixth round, she rolled up
her right hand, feinted with her left-in Sugar Ray Leonard
fashion-and landed three successive jabs on the face of the
unsuspecting Colombian. The Trinidadian left the ring
unmarked, while Rojas suffered a gash under her right eye. " In a second women's match

best performance, using her reach and power to keep Millar on
the end of her punches for all three rounds. As her coach I am
extremely proud of her commitment, work ethic and focus. She
is a terrific role model for other boxers and deserves all of

Promoted by Bettina Palle - Televised on Denmark Television
Denmark’s
Anita Christiansen,
117.9, won a 10-round split decision over Ada Velez, 117.5, and
became the new WIBA – WIBF Bantamweight World champion---But not without
controversy. In the eighth round, Christiansen was knocked down to the
canvass, but got up and finish the fight. According to WBAN’s insider,
the fight was very exciting and made the men’s boxing bouts look dull in
comparison. After the scores were read out for the Christiansen – Velez
fight, Velez was in disbelief, and in one report said that Velez “could
not believe her ears.” Apparently Velez was not happy about the
decision and left the ring, without congratulating Christiansen. The
two judges that scored the fight for Christiansen (97-94,
96-95) were both from
Denmark and
coincidentally BOTH had the last name of “Christiansen”. (Hopefully no
relation). The sole judge from Finland, had Velez ahead 97-93. Shortly
after the fight, Christiansen was asked if she thought that she won the
fight. Christiansen indicated that the fight was a very even fight, and
that she thought that Velez had a slight advantage. Christiansen also
added that she would give Velez a rematch.
