July 30, 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya
Zarika Njeri (Fatuma) won by TKO2 over Monalisa Sibanda.
A release from JabJab Promotions wrote
the following:
30th July, Kenya’s new boxing sensation Fatuma Zarika
Njeri stopped Zimbabwe’s Monalisa Sibanda in a non-title fight
at Nairobi’s Nyayo Stadium. Many boxing fans had expected Zarika
to loose the bout as Monalisa had impressed earlier in the year
when she stretched Women’s WBF Middleweight Champion Conjestina
Achieng only to loose on points. There were concerns that
since Monalisa had fought at Middleweight against Conjestina,
Zarika had no chance against her even though the Zimbabwean had
shed almost 10 kgs to make the super featherweight category.
Zarika who was largely unknown before the game impressed with
her
piston style blows and surprised the full house when she floored
Sibanda in the first round. Sibanda recovered to finish the
round. However a minute into the second round after a
fifty-fifty exchange between the ladies, Zarika cornered her
opponent at the white corner with a barrage of hard punches.
Sibanda went down on her knees and referee, Vedo Okumu stopped
the fight. “I am not disheartened by the loss” said
Sibanda, “boxing is a sport and I lose honourably, it was her
day and I will live to win another day”. Sibanda however ruled
out the possibility of her ever fighting either Zarika or
Conjestina in the future. “I am a natural welterweight, I put on
weight to fight Conje and shed weight to meet Zarika – that is
that last time I move from my natural weight. I will only fight
at welter” she said. On whether she lost because she had
shed too much, Sibanda said “that is not true and anyone who is
saying that is trying to be too sympathetic. I had two months to
prepare and I was fit and strong at that game. Zarika had a game
plan worked out and it succeeded. That’s all. The fight
was promoted by newly formed Jabjab Promotions and was a
success with the venue filling with up to 2,000 people who came
to see for the first time the largely unknown Fatuma Zarika. The
main crown puller however was Monalisa Sibanda who enjoys a
great following in Kenya.

Super featherweight Merced Nunez TKO’d Joann Chagolla
in the first round in a scheduled four-round bout. Mike Blair
reported that
Nunez
answered the opening bell with hands up and immediately threw
her jab. Granted, Joann Chagolla, making her pro debut offered
little resistance, but still Nunez had to be fundamentally
sound. Nunez threw straight jabs and an effective right cross.
When she had Chagolla hurt early, Nunez was patient. She did not
rush in and throw wildly, she jabbed to move Chagolla to the
ropes then unleashed her right.

- Panama
The presence in the front row of Panamanian
boxing legend Roberto ‘Manos de Piedra’
Duran was not enough to lift Shantal
Martínez, who hails from the western
province of Chiriquí, to victory in Antón on
Saturday evening when she clashed with
Carolina Odalis Álvarez of Venezuela in
what Boxeo Panama described as ‘one of the
most eagerly awaited contests of the
evening’ – the judges scoring the fight:
Marcos Torres 29-28, Ignacio Robles 29-28
and Roberto Vernaza 30-27 unanimously in
favour of the visitor. Álvarez, whose
sobriquets ‘Fiera China’ and ‘La Fiera’
attest to her ferocity, has been fighting
since December in Germany, where so far she
has stopped two opponents, Lucie Hornakova
of Slovakia and Albena Altseva of Bulgaria,
as well as holding former kickboxer Bettina
Volker to a draw. With this win – both women
weighed in at 110 pounds - she improves to
5-0-1 (2 KOs). (By Ewan Whyte)

Photos and story by Mike Blair/gallery will be posted soon
There were two women's bouts on the card. The card was held
outdoors. Tonia Cravens, 114½, tried to be the aggressor as she faced veteran
Sharon
Gaines, 114¾, in a six round bantamweight fight. However, while Cravens
threw more punches, many were off target. On the other side, Gaines
waited to find openings and when they appeared, she took advantage
of them, often firing a jab through Cravens' arms touching her chin
or her body. Cravens was more effective
when she was able to keep Gaines in the middle of the ring,
from there Cravens could use her height and reach advantage.
Gaines however kept throwing jabs, often lunging to do so,
but that caused Cravens to step back, and when the action
moved to the ropes or a corner, Gaines stepped inside and
was able to connect and score. Though one judge scored the
fight even, the difference was Gaines' accuracy. She may not have thrown as many punches
as Cravens, but she certainly landed more. The two other judges
scored the fight 59-55 for Gaines, thus she scored a majority
decision win. In another match, Kelsey Jeffries and
Lina Ramirez were
fighting to claim the vacant NABF Super Bantamweight belt. When
Ramirez weighed in over the limit, she nullified her opportunity to
wear the belt even with a victory. Jeffries fought in what has, of
late, become her tactical style. There was a time when she would have
stood in the center of the ring and banged away at Ramirez, and
received as many punches as she delivered, in the end winning a war
of attrition. There were moments Saturday night when it appeared she
was ready to do that again. Ramirez is a tough woman who swings
wildly, but hard. She can take a punch, and though Jeffries caught
her flush more than a few times, Ramirez would not go down. After
the fight Jeffries said, "I really wanted to cut loose and go after
her, but I knew to win I had to out box her." And out box her she
did, moving to create angles and pivoting to throw a right that
comes at opponents in the form of a hook, an uppercut, or
occasionally overhand. It is hard to say that Ramirez mounted a
serious challenge, though she did win a few rounds. Ramirez looked to be most effective
when, at the midpoint of the fight, she caught Jeffries on the chin
after the bell. While it was not a devastating shot, Ramirez sent a
message that she hoped would shatter the discipline of the focused
Jeffries. It almost worked, as the two women poked at each other
after the bell in the next round as well. After that, Jeffries
returned to boxing and Ramirez to throwing wide and wild. After ten
rounds, Jeffries scored the unanimous decision victory, 98-92 on two
cards, 97-93 on the third, to claim the NABF Super Bantamweight
belt. Logged in Master Search

In the first women's bout of the evening, Jasmin Oflas,
22,
159½,
repeatedly found the mark with her straight right, but Malina
Perplies, 25, 160 lbs., proved to have a good chin, managing
even a few dangerous counters of her own despite the fast tempo. The
two fought to a four-round draw. Judges scores were 40-38, 38-38,
and 37-39. In the last bout of the evening,
Junior welterweight Ramona Kuehne,
138¾, won a four-round unanimous
decision over Miroslava Durinova, 21, 143. Kühne seemed
to have the edge in the early stages, leading well with her left,
but her 21-year-old opponent was countering skilfully with her own
left until the German girl, who is trained by Stephan Böstfleisch,
connected with a hard right to the head. In the second round, the
Slovakian still looked dangerous with her jab and left-right
combinations, but the 26-year-old Kühne proved to have the better
technique and greater accuracy in both hands. The third round was
dominated by the German junior welterweight, who landed a dazzling
right uppercut. Miroslava Durinova tried hard to reverse the outcome
in the final round, but Ramona Kühne countered effectively with
straight rights to the chin and hooks to the body, comfortably
preserving her lead.
