Idraetshal, in Odense, Denmark
Vinni Skovgaard, 138¼, (5-0-0)
won the vacant WBC International Junior
Welterweight title by defeating Belgian
Zelda Tekin, 137¾, (4-1-0) by TKO
(0:40 seconds) in the tenth round by TKO.
According to newspaper reports, Tekin caused
Skovgaard some problems with her very
aggressive style in the early rounds. After
Skovgaard found her range and got her jab
working, she was in full control for the
last 6-7 rounds. Tekin went down after a
combo in the 10th round, and was stopped by
the referee.

Jenna Shiver, 124½, won by a third round
[1:30 seconds] TKO over Melinda Woody, 124½.
Woody took a standing
eight-count in the first round. There
was a lot of head-hunting shots between both
Woody and Shiver in the first round.
Again in round two, both boxers seem to
forget about body shots and are focused on
banging each other in the head.

On the undercard,
Ana Julaton, 123, won a
four-round unanimous decision over Clara De La Torre,
123, in a four rounder. Scores 40-36,
40-36, 39-37. Mary Ann Owen who
was ringside said, "Clara De La Torre and
Ana Julton gave the fans an exciting four
round fight. Both fighters went toe to
toe every round. De La Torre who towered
over Julaton did not use her height and
reach which would have kept the scrappy
Julaton at bay. Both fighters threw a lot of
punches in every round without leaving any
time to recover until the bell rang. It was
exciting to see a female fight on a Top Rank
card that was televised on Versus TV and I
hope we see many more female bouts in Las
Vegas. A few years ago Las Vegas hosted many
all female bouts and they were standing room
only crowds."

8, 2008 - Silver Reef Casino, Ferndale,
Washington - report/photos by Mike Bliar
Northwest women Merced Nunez and Tammie
Johnson, 138, both scored wins. Merced Nunez (7-1
2KO) faced Caitlin Dance (2-1 1KO) in the
semi main event for the right to claim the
Washington State Featherweight title. The
fight was scheduled for four rounds, with
the possibility of a fifth should the score
have been even at the end of four. However,
due to a disagreement regarding compensation
for the potential extra round, the fight
remained at four. Dance had a distinct
height and reach advantage over Nunez, who
entered the fight with an edge in experience
and quickness. To counteract Dance’s height,
Nunez backed Dance around the ring. Nunez
began the fight as the aggressor, firing the
jab at Dance’s chin from an angle that would
have necessitated that Dance employ
contortionist like ability to counter punch.
Because Dance is an effective counter
puncher, and because she has the ability to
catch her opponent though she seems far
away, Nunez never stopped walking her down.
There were few times when Dance was out of
Nunez’s range. She threw jabs at Dance’s
head, and when Dance raised her hands, Nunez
tattooed her body. Nunez controlled the
action over the course of the four rounds,
and though Dance was able to catch Nunez
with an occasional overhand right, she was
not able to double up punches or take Nunez
out of her rhythm. All four judges scored
the bout 40-36 for Merced Nunez, the
unanimous decision title winner. Nunez
showed an aggressive side in this fight.
When the two women locked up and were told
to break, Nunez would push off a bit to
create distance, but the slight gesture was
enough to send the message that she was not
about to back down. In the third round, when
the women tied up, Nunez threw a hard right
just as the referee shouted to break. Nunez
was given a warning, and by rights, could
have lost a point, but most importantly, she
showed a boxer’s mentality in that she
remained aggressive through a lull in the
action. Tammie Johnson (3-0) and
Tanya
Gallegos, 138, (4-8 2KO) slugged it out in a
junior welterweight bout for four rounds.
This was Gallegos second fight after layoff
of a year and a half, and her lack of
activity showed in the opening two rounds.
In those rounds Johnson charged at Gallegos
throwing punches from all angles. Johnson’s
plan was to work the body in an attempt to
break down Gallegos, seeing if she had the
will to fight after the long layoff.
Gallegos was most accommodating in rounds
one and two as Johnson pushed her around the
ring. Most of Johnson’s punches were coming
from the outside in, and that allowed
Gallegos the opportunity to cover up and
protect herself. Then, as the second round
drew to an end, a Johnson right caught
Gallegos on the head and she dropped.
In between rounds Gallegos got an earful
from her cornerman. What he said was
effective as Gallegos answered the bell and
became a boxer for the last two rounds. She
threw her left, followed it with a right,
and then slid to the side to begin the
procedure again. She would not let Johnson
get close or smother her with punches.
Johnson kept trying to press the fight, and
perhaps feeling that she could again drop
Gallegos, she at times swung wildly.
Gallegos could see the openings that
created, but was not quick enough to move up
the middle and land punches inside. After
four rounds two judges scored the fight
38-37, the third had it 39-36, all in favor
of Tammie Johnson, the winner by unanimous
decision.
